Plein air paint Palette - The colors I use
Here is my current palette:
Quinacridone Red (a cool red). (PV 19)
Naphthol Red Light (a warm red), Naphthol AS-D (PR 112)
Hansa Yellow Light (arylide yellow) GX (PY 73)
Cadmium Orange Hue, Hansa Yellow SR (PY 1) and Perinone Orange (PO 43)
Indio Orange Red, Perinone Orange (PO 43)
Brilliant Blue, Phthalo Blue (PB15) and Phthalo Green (PG7) and Titanium White (PW 6).
Ultramarine Blue, (PB 29)
Dioxazine Purple (PV23 RS)
Turquoise, Phthalo Green (PG 7) and Phthalo Blue (PB 15)
I use Utrecht Professional Gesso for my white.
Note that there are no cadmiums, no cobol, and no earth tones.
These are all transparent or semi-transparent so some white or gesso is required to make the opaque. All are lightfast I or lightfast II. All are Utrecht Artist's Colors Acrylic that come in 5 oz. tubes.
