Skip Whitcomb demonstrates refining a color palette for a painting, starting with an original painting done on location. The standard outdoor palette is discussed, with an emphasis on simplicity for stronger harmony. The chosen palette includes cad yellow pale and alizarin instead of cad lemon and hot red. Simplifying color sets and using grays as a foil for brighter colors is also highlighted.

Thank you, sir, for this very helpful tutorial how to make most of only a very few colors in order to keep the painting simple and powerful! Very good and an excellent instructional video! Much obligated! Greetings from the homeland of Anders Zorn, Sweden! Stay blessed!

I’ve found that I actually don’t like colour mixing, haha. I don’t want to spend time struggeling on the palette, I want to be spontaneous and fast on the painting itself, and thinking in terms of limited planned colour schemes helped me! Love stuff like this! So I basically have 4 core colours. Yellow ochre, iron oxide red, prussian blue and ultramarine blue. So my core palette is very muted automatically. I get a muted green, muted violet and muted orange by default, and then if I WANT intensity I bring in backup colours like cad yellow and alizarin crimson. It took me many years to find that I actually don’t need to use the most intense colours that I constantly have to mute. I don’t need the entire colour spectrum all the time - I’m not producing photos. Feeling in control, less complexity, less daunt around colour has really been liberating.
