A really limited palette
Just for the heck of it, I'll often set myself the task of painting (usually just a quick oil sketch) using one of three very limited palettes:
1) Cad red, yellow ocher, ivory black and white.
2) aliz crimson, cad yellow med, prussion blue, white.
3) Raw umber, burnt sienna (or transparent oxide red) and white.
It's amazing what you can do with nothing more than these colors. I usually do this after browsing through yet another catalog with the idea of adding still more exotic colors to my already full "chuck box."
