Of all of the "how to paint" demos I've seen, I've got to say that this one's helped me the most. I'm used to watercolor and have always found oils to be frustratingly messy. I've been mixing color basically with my brush as I paint...and end up with the majority of it globbed up by the ferrule. Having a video that just shows the handling of paint on the pallet is very helpful. Thank you!
Does it matter in which order I do the mixing? Does it always have to be hue, value, chroma? I feel like a lot of the times it would save time (& paint) if I start with value for example, if I can see that whatever I'm matching has a high value, I just throw a lot of white in there. Or when it's something of very low chroma, I throw in the complement right away and possibly even do the hue at the end. I think my formula would be "identify predominant variable (hue/value/chroma) and start working towards that" But idk if it makes sense to do it like this...

I'm so glad to hear that! Yes, mixing with a brush can get messy (and it's not great for the brush). I hope you enjoy your journey with oils!
