"To preserve the colors fresh and clean in painting; it must be done by laying in more colors, and not by rubbing them in when they are once laid; and if it can be done they should be laid just in their proper places first, and not be touched again because the freshness of the colors is tarnished and lost, by mixing and jumbling them together; for there are certain colors which destroy each other by the motion of the pencil when mixed to excess."
Sir Joshua Reynolds
