Compare the two images. The first One I did this week and it has a good mixture of colors and neutrals. The second I did years ago and it is all color. There are no neutrals in it at all.
The lesson here is that when every element has a color they cancel each other out and there is no color. But if you use neutrals wisely it will let your color choices pop and create a variety of colors and values that will enhance a painting. What I have learned so far? Practice mixing neutrals. All those colors that have no name. They are your friends ...use them wisely.
