Portrait Artist Forum - View Single Post - A question for Marvin about his palette of limited color

I have been using Marvin's Palette for almost 10 years. One aide is a value pattern that you can place under glass that you mix your palette on. The guide helps you nail each value. To obtain the Value pattern you can probably get it from Marvin. I could give you directions on how to do it but I feel it is Marvin's intellectual property and it would be inappropriate for me to do so.

Here is an illustration of the Value pattern but it is only a close proximity to the actual values. This illustration is only to help you visualize the real thing.

I use one that I have expanded to over 20 inches wide.
