David, once they made the mistake of paying me I stopped working on it. They never knew the difference. All kidding aside, I'm looking forward to the opinions you've formed.

Richard, the top row is mixed from White, Raw Umber and Ivory Black. The next row is Yellow Ochre lowered with Raw Umber. The Yellow Ochre is lightened with Yellow Ochre Pale which is in turn lightened with White. The third row down is Terra Rosa lightened with White lowered with Black. The bottom row is Indian Red lightened with White and lowered with Black. I call it the Mattelson Palette. I named it after my Dad.

Kim, as the layers get built up and oiled out they sink in less. I use retouch at the end where needed. My strategy regarding my clients reaction to the painting in progress is to blow them away with the beauty of the painting so they don't notice the other stuff. If properly planned the painting should look good from out the shoot. It works every time.

My feeling is that Tim won't post his paintings at all.
