Hi gixster--what I meant when I said "what happened here was what was meant to happen" just meant that sometimes you just teach yourself these things, but especially in color mixing it's an experimental trial & error thing..every artist has to do this for himself..I can tell you that a rottwieller is orange & brown but it's up to you to get the shade of orange & brown that you desire..I've ended up with large amounts of paint just by trying to match a color--it has a way of growing on you, sometimes buckets of it!!..I've only taken a few formal art classes but I've studied some on my own & many good artists always underpaint with complimentary colors--it looks very backwards but when they begin to bring in the true colors regardless of their shade it becomes very impressive..A red apple must have green in it & any other color that may be adjacent to it.. I was taught that every color is a product & is affected by the color next to it.. Put your arm next to a very bright intense color & you will see that your flesh colored arm will incorperate that color to make a third..this is only how I see it & my opinion alone..Color is another study all of it's own--Art is a never ending endeavor & you'll never learn it all..but we all struggle to
try..
