But if you do the yellow last & it's no good, wouldn't that spoil all
your prior work? Is there some way you can "correct" when it's the last
that you can't with the first? Or maybe you can't tell if it's OK when it's
the first coat & waste a lot of effort on top of it?
I think it's also possible that yellow behaves differently with different
media, such as the fotempera.
