I'm sorry, my comment was so tongue-in-cheek that the bemusement was mistaken for (willful?) ignorance.
If all of this has in actuality saved me some confused thrashing around, I'm grateful, but we'll see.
My point is, whether you favor the stack of 8x10 glossies, or the circles and arrows, sooner or later you are faced with paint, brushes and a canvas. Having all of this theory in mind may or may not help, but when I'm painting, my actual method is to try something and if that doesn't work, try something else.
Or as Friedrich Engels said: "An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory."
Carry on.
