Palette Painting
SUPPLY List:
Bring any size canvas or panels. I will demo on a 24×24 &18×14. I work flat with palette knife and on a table easel & to finish up I use my brushes. Bring any brushes you have on hand.
Paint: (the Limited Split Complement palette of a warm and cool of each primary) I use Cobra water-mixable oils in my tube colors plus white, and expand when needed.This is called a limited palette as well as a split- complimentary palette. You will see each primary color has a warm one and a cool one, splitting temperature of color choices, to balance and limit our choices, making this an easy way to learn color and abstraction.
B: Ultramarine Blue and Cobalt Blue
R: Cadmium Red light, Transparent Red Oxide, and Alizarin Crimson (Cobra calls its cool red by the name Carmine)
Y: Primary Yellow, Indian Yellow, Raw Umber
Neutral: Portland Warm Gray, Titanium-Zinc White and Chromatic Black
This palette is 80% transparent paint. The rest is Opaque.
Most artists love this palette for their easy transparent go-to.You can add and subtract as you learn your taste and style:
I buy Cobra brand water-mixable oils for the ease of clean-up and creaminess of paint, but like to buy sometimes traditional oils as well to mix together into my Cobra. (Murphys Oil Soap or Dial Bar soap cleans). Cobra is designed to integrate with traditional oils like it’s sister brand Rembrandt, made both by Royal Talens. The game changer is you can use the Cobra all the way to the end of a painting with the water as a medium (adding or not adding their Cobra mediums). I use my old standard oil mediums I adopted years ago and can’t seem to change those choices. Galkyd Light in a tube or the Cobra water-soluble Linseed Oil in a jar. Lately I have added cold wax medium to my menu at times. I use mostly palette knives without points, my fave is RMG brand, the long skinny. Liquitex brand has a long skinny and is great too. All my supplies I get on Amazon. In search bar, type in just as have typed here. Bring your Paper towels, baby wipes, and soap.
