inPSA: Watch out for old mortar in those 1920s houses in the historic district
Actually, original can mean both old and the first of its kind. Sometimes that means it's good, sometimes it just means it's historic.

inQuestion about fixing flat colors in digital paintings
Oh man, that barn example is perfect... it's exactly that. Once you see how light changes a color's actual hue, not just its brightness, you can't unsee it. I started looking at my own skin in different light and it's wild... cool grayish in shadow, way warmer in the sun. Now I try to put a tiny bit of that opposite temperature in every big color area, like a cool smudge in a warm shadow. It feels less like coloring in a line drawing and more like the thing is actually there.
