I took Dan's workshop last week. His way to paint was not the way I will do, but I learned a lot of things from him.
Drawing stage; I really liked how he draw, no measurement, use surroundings to fix the lines. Object is a human, but draw shapes, not figure. Get gesture, and chisel/articulate the shapes. Find the light.
And painting stage; paint BG first, don't worry about nailing the right colour, 'caz we can fix as we go, experiment the colour, put more on the canvas. Observe, apply colour and try again and again to make it better. I took a photo of Dan's palette.
First thing, the drawing is very important before the painting. And 2nd, choice of colour is totally up to you. I suffered mixing right colours for right place, but also I enjoyed making various colours, my painting is no longer monochrome world... :D
