Red and Cad. Yellow.  Shadows:  Payne's Grey -- Some Dioxazine Purple.  Light Trees:  Mud mixture with some Holbein Rose Grey.  MUD:  At the end of the day bring all the color mixtures together in one pile with your palette knife -- create "mud" -- use as a transitional color in the painting.  ENJOY!  DC
