Pat,

You're correct, it is a limited pallette. It is the pallette developed by Marvin Mattelson and consists of earth tones, 4 strings of color - a grey string, a yellow string, a warm red string and a cool red string. These are for flesh tones which I use primarily for the overall painting rounding out the pallette with other colors as needed such as blue.

You can find many posts on Marvin's pallette here in the forum.

Thanks for your kind words.
