The perfection of my palette is a continuing endeavor. Though I am still fond of finding those special colors straight from the tube, I have made great strides in recent months to limit my palette to as few colors as possible… and even going so far as to making my own colors (from the limited palette) that I’ll put into tubes with labels like “V Flesh,” “T Flesh,” “Dark Grey,” etc. (A trick taught me by Odd.)
The ultimate goal, I think, is to inhabit a pedigree that serves your style and substantiates your creative conversations.
The more I get to know about my own palette, the more intrigued I am by the palette of others….
