You're welcome Ash! Yes value is king and is the first step. Look at the great colorist of the past. Monet, Sorrolla, Sargent. All were excellent in value and tonal composition. That's not by accident :)

I've watched other vids about value but still can't put it into practice no matter how hard I try. This is the only video that teached me HOW to see in value. Agh, and to think that it is as simple as squinting! I practiced earlier and saw how I improved a lot immediately. Thank you so much! No words can measure the amount of gratitude I feel ;v; Will definitely check out more of your vids!
