Palette Cleanser #9 (and image of current palette)

Don't adjust your screen, this painting is really yellow. After a long day of painting on Friday I cleaned my palette and made some adjustments to the placement of my colours which meant a lot of scraping and removing. This one shows a rolling hill with burnt grass, some iron oxide platforms, and a grey moon.

I scanned an artistic rendering of my palette, these days I keep a record of all the changes (which means that technically, I did 12 artworks on Friday!). I change it all the time to accommodate new colours and optimize the workflow. Here is the palette, looks like I need a bigger one soon:



The colours, clockwise from top left are 1. venetian red (PR101, DaVinci), 2. pyrrole red vermillion, and ferrari (PR255 and PR254, Schmincke), 3. quinacridone red scarlet shade (PR209 Holbein), 4. benzimida orange (PO36 DaVinci), 5. iron oxide red (PR101/PBr7 Holbein irodori mixed with sennelier), 6. isoindoline yellow (PY110, Schmincke),7. azo yellow (PY154, holbein), 8. bismuth vanadate yellow (PY184, Schmincke), 9. azo yellow (PY154, holbein), 10. phthalo green yellow shade (PG36, Schmincke), 11.
