Summer's End Palette Review

For the most part I kept the palette the same this summer. Raw sienna (PBr7) was replaced with a very similar yellow ochre (PY43) on the second slot, and perylene maroon (PR179) was replaced with an  almost identical deep scarlet (PR175) on the fifth slot. I kept umber in the mixing area to see how much I used it, and the answer was, a lot. Umber is the colour of tea with milk, which is great for representing old concrete, or the warm glow on a sidewalk. I may eliminate one of the two yellow ochres and put umber in the slot. Otherwise, I probably wont change anything until winter. In winter, a few of these paints tend to freeze solid, and I have some honey-based alternatives that resist freezing. But we are not there yet thankfully. I hope we get a decent fall season with some leaves changing colours.
