Summer Palette adjustments

 

A little brown, a lot of orange, the new summer palette adjustments. Since acquiring a lot of new paints since 2020, I am up to 70 in total, my palette has undergone a total overhaul. For summer of 2022 I added an extra orange paint called benzi orange (PO62) and removed Umber (PBr7). The other colours were shifted around musical chairs style. There are many earth colours to pick from and as you see in the top left there are a few extras to try out on location. The middle four on the top row are the darks, and the rightmost four are the green gamut. On the bottom are five high chroma warm colours and one blue primarily for sky. Off to the side is the trusty lamp black which is useful in small quantities. There was a time when I had no orange paints and only one earth paint (burnt sienna PR101), now about 1/3 of the paints here are earths or oranges.
