Personally, I wouldn\'t use black primer when painting red. It will make it more difficult to get an even coat (but, red is notorious for being difficult to get even coverage with). I find grey is the best option there. It will take a couple of coats before you have even coverage, and it will take practice to get the hang of how to do it properly.
Let me also point out that whatever tecnique, simple or advanced, you may try to learn you won\'t get past the practice bit. You can read and read an read and think that you know exactly how to do something. But, when you try it out for yourself you\'ll be disappointed. You must learn a lot of things for yourself by practicing and getting a feeling for how paints behave, how different dilutions behave etc. There\'s no way an experienced painter can get every single piece of information and knowledge of importance into an article. What we do relies on a lot of almost intuitive knowledge that we don\'t even think about when painting because it\'s so firmly embedded in our minds that we use it without thinking. This knowledge you need to build up for yourself.
Also, take into account that there are hundreds of ways to do something and what one painter says may differ from what another painter says, even though it deals with the same subject. It may even be so, that the method one painter uses may not work out for you at all. So, that\'s another reason why you need to practice. You may need to try different methods before you find out what works out for you. Even though you want to achieve similar results to Vincent Hudon\'s you might not end up using exactly his techniques.
