Painting Tip #12

Do color charts using your palette of colors. You can either tape off squares on a piece of foamcore or mat board or just use a palette knife and do a gradation from one color to the next. Mix every tube you use regularly with every other tube and then do a tint and a shade! There is no better way to know immediately how to match that color you are looking at. For more information on this procedure, consult the book “Alla Prima” by master artist Richard Schmid.
