  1. The main lump of paint is covered up – even when especially when you’re using it.
  2. There’s a ready reservoir of dark runny paint I can call on and use whenever I want.
  3. My working paint is the precise consistency and shade I need for whatever kind of tracing I am doing now – here: copy-tracing. (So, darker for strengthening or shaping.)
