My Pallet, for what it's worth... :) If you know me, you know I like to joke around and laugh. Sometimes I will say things as a joke and people take me serious. I'm a little like Rush Limbugh, you have to listen to me for six weeks to really understand him. You have to get to know me to understand some of my jokes as well. I really am a pretty punny guy. GRIN

I took a few moments, and wrote on some tape the colors I use and the order I place them on my pallet. I don't normally have the cobalt blue on there, but I LOVE a cobalt blue sky much more than I like an Ultra Marine Blue sky. With a warm and cool color of each primary, I can mix some amazing colors. Greens that will knock your socks off, which this time of year is okay because it's warming up and the floors aren't as cold.

For grins and giggles I lightened  the Phalo Blue and Cobalt blue to see how they compared to each other for use in the sky.

 

If you can see the two blue piles on my pallet, take a guess which one is which? Don't worry, I wont keep you guessing. You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time. Cobalt Blue is on the right. To me, they look very similar. So, when my tube of cobalt is used up, I may not buy anymore. Time will tell. That's one of the fun things about painting, experimenting, constantly trying to improve. I can always change my mind.

Until next time, have fun painting, and God bless.
