Chatted with a painter buddy about why his sunsets always look better than mine
He said he starts with a warm orange base under everything, and after trying it on a living room accent wall last weekend the whole room finally felt cohesive instead of like a bunch of colors fighting each other, so has anyone else had luck using an underpainting approach in actual spaces or just on canvas?

oh i totally get this, i tried the same trick on my bathroom vanity and it was like magic. the whole room used to feel flat and now the paint just glows from within somehow. you're basically tricking the eye with that warm base, it ties everything together without looking forced.

Huh, people really overthink paint. It's just paint on a wall, not some magic spell. I bet a fresh coat of a nice neutral would have done the same thing.
