I like him too! I don’t know about others, but in the middle of a paint job, I usually hate what I’m doing. Sometimes, even until I remove the masking from the eyes.
I think the colors are wonderful! I envy the artists that can use those kinds of color together and not have it come out looking like bozo the clown!! I think you are doing a great job of blending, your application looks smooth and nothing looks muddy.
