Great comment! Yes, there are many 'dull' colors in nature. Re: browns (and blacks)--these colors are made by burning a pigment (burnt umber, sienna etc) and this is what makes their use muddy a painting.

Looking at something that appears dull (called 'local color'), you will notice that it is composed of many other colors. This is what makes nature appear vibrant even when dull or dark. The video helps you to see light and colors that exist and capture these colors more naturally.

Lovely. Susan, through her book, taught me how to paint in the impressionist style. It's amazing how much misinformation abounds. I am very grateful.

A 'like'! One thing I don't understand: you say that browns in your palette make your painting dull. But if you observe dull colors shouldn't you paint them like that? Then it doesn't matter in which way one arrives at the mixtures needed (ie mixing almost complementary bright colors to achieve a dull color, or just start with dull colors ('browns') in the first place.) Your thoughts on this would be appreciated...

Thank you so much Susan for sharing this information. I see this glow in other paintings, and the artists are tight-lipped about how they do it. Now I have also have this new tool. I have ordered both of your books, and I will be ordering your video. Thanks again for your generosity.

Thank you Susan for letting me see the light at the end of my artistic career of 44 years xxx
