DEMO:
Start With Your Best Guess. Rather than agonize over mixing or choosing just the right color at the start, begin by making your best guess. Whatever your choice, you can adjust it easily in the next stages of the painting. Beginning this way not only removes much of the initial stress but can also create richer, more interesting color in the end.
