I have not seen Rob Howard's DVD on the spray method/progressive focus method. I do intend to get it at some point, although Rob has explained the basic procedure many times on the Cennini forum. (For anyone who is not aware, this method involves an initial layer that is very blurry, with increased focus as additional layers are applied).</p> <p>I think the grisaille set would be a good thing to work with. It's definitely on my wish list, since I get tired of mixing up neutral gray paint strings (something I do most times I paint in oil).</p> Thanks, Jeff.

Have you seen Rob's DVD on the spray method? If so, have you tried it and what do you think? I found it to be very helpful seeing the progression of layers. As an advancing beginner, I realize that learning to get the cartoon, monochrome, value down is most important. Because of this I am thinking of investing in SPs grisaille kit. It is a bit pricey but seems like a good investment for me as I delve into oil painting- what do you think?</p> Cool overview David thanks. Have you seen Rob’s DVD on the spray method?
