What is your palette?
What is your palette . . . how many colors do you use . . . what are they . . . and what do you like about your method/system?
I ask because, over the years, I have used the Daniel Greene palette (a lot of premixed colors), the John Howard Sanden palette (fewer and simpler premixed colors), Everet Raymond Kinstler palette (2 reds, 2 yellows, two blues, burnt sienna, burnt umber, sap green, and white), and Marvin Mattelson's palette which is probably one of the most simple -- indian red, venetian red, yellow ocher and black (basically, this is it I think).
I've also used the simplified color system of Jose Parramon, who shows you how to get by on alizarin crimson, cad yellow medium, Prussian blue and white. Now, that's really simple.
The trouble is, after using one or the other of these "palettes" for a short time, I find I can make any color made by any of the other palettes.
If this is so, why aren't we all using a much simpler palette?
