The aim is to get better values by doing so, which is brilliant in theory, but I’m not used to painting this way. I used to avoid this method because the common methods of colouring greyscale images tend to result in a muddy palette with minimal variation.

My process is also partially figuring out how to colour a greyscale image without completely repainting the image.

I believe some pros paint the majority of the image then add extra details like plants or other small vibrant features after doing a basic colour pass on the greyscale image. I did this for the flag and material.
