Palette
Preparation
I’m big on the importance of understanding color theory, but
equally so, I’m really big on palette preparation before starting a painting.
I have lots of notebooks that I use to test my colors and then when I’ve decided on my palette, I keep records of the colors that I use in each painting. It comes in handy when a collector tells me they want me to paint a landscape with the same colors in another one of my c paintings.

I’m so proud of my students who take the time to test their
colors instead of just jumping into their work, and then becoming disappointed in
their results.
Below is a recipe for success. This painting is comprised of
just three colors: a red, a yellow, and a blue.
You can mix just about anything from those three primary colors. You can get beautiful greys, stunning greens,
brilliant purples and so on.
I hope this helps you on your painting journey! Want to receive my blogs in your email? Please sign up on the right side. - Jill Saur
