Marvin,
I am amazed. Do you actually use around 40 brushes? One for every premixed color +++.
I have read earlier about your strings of gray, yellow and red and find it useful to premix them.

I have made a gray scale of 10 steps and tubed them, am also planning on tubing yellow and reds.

But I have a hard time figuring out how much you have to mix on the palette.
When you gray down the different colors you must end up with more dots than there is space on the palette, or what? Could you show us a photo of your palette when working, please ??

I normally end up with 4-5 different areas of color that I adjust with small amounts of white or whatever needed.

Allan
