Tim,
When I say "every color" I mean every color on one's regular palette; apologies for not being clearer. At the moment I am using sort a modified Daniel Greene palette, and the standard colors I use and put out every day are:
Permanent rose
Permanent Alizarin
Cad scarlet
Raw sienna
Ochre
Transparent earth red
Asphaltum
Raw Umber
Ivory Black
Flake white
Thalo Green
Ultramarine Blue
Even if I know I will only be working on skin for a session, I still set out every color on this palette, knowing I will incorporate most if not all into the skin mixtures. Yes, there is some waste, but I am pretty used to knowing how much paint I will use before the Flake white and medium make it dry out, so I think it's the least wasteful I can do.
I completely agree with you, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, regardless of how you get there.
