Organizing my Palette

A big ol’ mess of values and color temperatures. 👎

I am learning how to be more deliberate with my color mixing so I can put down strokes where they need to be placed. When I paint it is usually something that happens out of intuition. With my latest painting, I was trying to put down the right value and color temperature in the right spot. I came to the realization that my palette needs some deliberate organization. It is usually a huge mess. This will help solve the problem of all my values devolving into one area on the value chart. If I keep my values organized on my palette I am think it will help organize them on my canvas.

I draw detailed pet portraits and quick sketches from photos in various sizes, in charcoal. I also draw personalized commissions, paint in oil, water color and gouache. Check out the rest of my website to request a commission and see other original work.
