The daubs of raw pigment or the mixes left in position on a painter's palette can be an intriguing index to the working method and the mind of the artist.
Where and how colour is laid can convey emotion, psychology, religious significance. The whole value of what you are about wrote John Ruskin in his Elements of Drawing, first published in 1857 depends on colour. If the colour is wrong, everything is wrong: just as, if you are singing, and sing false notes, it does not matter how true your words are.
