FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What colors are on your palette?
I use the following pigments, put out in this order on my palette: titanium
white, scheveningen yellow lemon (a greenish yellow), cadmium yellow dark,
scheveningen red, alizarine crimson (should use a permanent one in the future,
the one from winsor & newton maybe), ultramarine violet, ultramarine blue dark,
transparent oxide red, scheveningen green, sap green, wijnranken black (barely
ever use this, only for some very dark thin lines).
This is a more or less full-spectrum palette, ie you can mix all colors in all
saturations (as far as allowed by available pigments). Once in a while I use
scheveningen blue (phtalocianine blue) for some blue/greenish colors if I can't
mix them (often some tones in the color of the sky.)
For dark colors which I can't really identify well ('black/grey'), I start with
a mixture of transparent oxide red and ultramarine blue dark. After I apply
some color to the canvas, I can modulate the color to cool or warm.
Alternatively I start with a mixture of alizarine crimson and scheveningen
green.
