Do you know which of your paints are opaque and which ones are more transparent?

How important is it to you to know this?

Do you have a pile of paints that don't always do what you want them to do, because they are not as opaque or transparent as you think they should be?

That way, when you want to add a highlight to something, you will know which paint or combination of paints to use to get that highlight to jump out at you.
