Another Freed From Cads




I am so pleased with my palette. It may only be oil that is mixed with ground up, dirt, rocks, and sometimes vegetable matter but it serves my purpose.

For years I searched for a palette that was kind to my sensitivities and sensibilities. I went to museums and read books.... but alas, to no avail. It took one demo with Marvin to convince me to place my cads in a drawer until needed for a flower or a fabric color. My search is over.

The search is never over for better compositions, subject matter, and draftsmanship, but for the time being it's nice not struggling like I did before with my flesh tones. There will be room to expand on my new palette later, but as it is, I haven't enjoyed painting like this in years.

Just had to pass that on and maybe get back on track to where this thread started.

Marvin's direction has helped me a lot. It may not be for others but the results I am creating now in my paintings are so very pleasing.
