Very limited palette
After puttering with practically every palette I could find, I have to say that I believe I can paint 95% of most skin tones with nothing more than cad red light, yellow ocher, black (ivory) and white.
And I say this with all due respect to every palette in the world, both from living and dead artists.
I don't mean to imply that using only two colors and black and white is, or should be, the only way. It isn't, of course. It's nice to have enough color on your palette that you can dip into whatever you need and use it with little modification.
For me, it was more a confidence thing. The more variations I could mix with this very restricted palette, the better I felt and the more I learned.
