Thankful for COLOR!!

It's been a couple years since I shared my palette system and paint choices, so I figured it was time for an update! Above is a recent photo of a setup from a demo done this fall. The paints have puddled together a little bit due to the car ride/transport, but I think you can get the idea. Pure pigment on the edges, mixtures in the center. And the mixtures are further lumped into a yellow-ish area, an orange-ish area, etc. This helps me keep mixtures clean and bright (if that is what I want!) You'll also see how I mix one mother-puddle and push and pull that into various combinations. I also arrange with lightest values on the left and darkest on the right. My paints always go in the same place and I always use the same colors. This is a Stay-Wet Masterson Palette and I'm using exclusively Golden Heavy Body Acrylics. My colors: Titanium White Naples Yellow Cadmium Yellow Light Cadmium Yellow Medium Cadmium Yellow Dark Light Magenta Medium Magenta Quinacridone Red Light Cadmium Orange Cadmium Red Light Cadmium Red Medium Cadmium Red Dark Quinacridone Magenta Alizarine Crimson Light Violet Cobalt Violet Hue Diox. Purple Light Yellow Green Cobalt Turquoise Sap Green Light Ultramarine Blue Cobalt Blue Cerulean Blue Anthra. Blue Prussian Blue Pthalo Blue Green Wishing all my American readers a beautiful Thanksgiving celebration with loved ones - I'll be feasting with the Kelly's and loving on my new little neice - enjoy yourselves!!
