Cleaning the palette keeps things fresh for the next painting. Since I have been painting a lot of landscapes lately the palette has been in need of it, but I didn't want to waste the paint so I use it on the cheap (acid free) watercolour paper pad. The point is to just let the creativity flow. If the next colour doesn't match I start a new sheet, and finish it next time. The main colour here in the background is isoindolone yellow, PY110, a yellow-orange pigment I got from Schmincke company that is very useful as a mixer and a glaze. It tends to et very dirty though, and has a slightly tacky consistency in the heat. It is the higher chroma and value version of the umbers or siennas.
