    How do you decide from which color to work?  In this video Steve has started from the green/blue shadows and then from this appears to add this colour to all other colours.  Do you look for the largest amount of one color?  So for example if you were painting outdoors and there were a lot of trees. WOuld you use the say olive green or whatever color the trees are as a starting point from which you can mix the colour of the sky or the surrounding buildings?  Not sure exactly how you determine that?  Please give me your thoughts.
