This landscape painter got an email a while back from a painter who was curious about what paints I use, or as artists say, "what's your palette?" Have to state that I hardly ever met a tubed color of paint I didn't like and find some use for. Also have admit that I never use colors right from the tube. The urge to mix is great within me... and that's not a bad thing;)
So if you are curious too, below is a list of the paints I'm using at the moment for this romp with sunsets and seascapes.
Mostly I stick with Rembrandt, M. Graham, and Gamblin brands because I like their consistency and texture. So here goes: ultramarine deep, cobalt, cobalt light, cerulean. Also in the blues I'm trying out Prussian and indigo for the last 3 weeks... like the indigo and might keep it. Manganese, pthalo blue and green, veridian, and sometimes good old sap green are on the palette.
Here are my yellow-reds: cad yel light, cad yel med, Indian yel, cad orange, cad red med. Trying out and loving: perm rose, quin rose, quin violet, diox violet. Always present are aliz crimson and yellow ocher. Right now am trying Payne's gray instead of ivory black, and like it.
When I paint on location it's the basic 9: ultramarine deep, cobalt light, cad yel light or lemon, cad red med, aliz crimson, yellow ocher, burnt sienna, ivory black, white.
