The first time I'm trying the old masters oil painting technique, and layer 4 is green :-) I thought it might fit the spooky season 😁

Yeah, this is how to get subsurface scattering in the medium of paint right? You paint a layer green and it boosts the eventual skin tone layer. I've heard of this technique.

Actually, thin film interference is a similar phenomena just from the science world.

I think all this relates to why viens appear blue/green even though it's kind of the opposite of blood red. Light and colour ...weird and dynamic stuff.
