Racerods, this does help, thank you.
I just dove-in and started putting marker color down the way you described you put paint down. Looks like it will turn out better than I thought it would (doing the color right now since 1:30pm). I glad you explained it the way you did,,,I was going to put the colors down backwards (dark to light).
