Thanks, Molly: I decided to by two palettes. One made by Lee Boynton 16x24 and one from Artisan, through Dick Blick. One will be darker wood and one will be rather on the small side, 11X18, and in the maple color. I'm used to the white paper palette, so I'm going to try the maple since it is closer to a flesh tone. The Artisan palette also has a rubber thumb hole that was recommended by Chris Saper, although she uses the walnut in the medium size.
So, I think I'm set for now. By the way, how do you keep the gray paint from flaking off when you scrap your palette? I think the gray surface is probably the best. I believe that's what Daniel Greene uses.
Thanks,
Jean-Marie
