Fortunately, I've not received any strange emails...yet. Either her eyesight isn't very good or there is a male equivalent of your name in Romanian. Do let us know if you get the photo (lol)

I only get shed loads of emails from all sorts of banks telling me it is imperative that I update my account details - and I don't have an account with any of them! I hit the delete button.

Not emails but I do regularly get the Jehovah's Witnesses at the door saying "Good morning sir!" Usually when I've just had my hair cut . OK I live in jeans and baggy T shirts and have short hair. Because I have a deep voice (thyroid probs) I often get asked if people on the phone can speak to my wife!

And another one this time more worrying. Somebody wants paintings for their daughter birthday next month, they want to pay by "check" notice the spelling (not English). They will organise for the shipping (it is a scam !) of course.

Good afternoon, I was wondering how many people use a limeted pallette of just 6 to 8 colours. I am a fan of Monet and much more recently Andrew Tozers work and love the way in which a limeted pallete is used. I have found a few websites that mention an up to date version of Monet's pallette as being •Lead white (modern equivalent = titanium white) •Chrome yellow (modern equivalent = cadmium yellow light) •Cadmium yellow •Viridian green •Emerald green •French ultramarine •Cobalt blue •Madder red (modern equivalent = alizarin crimson) •Vermilion I have always used the closest colour to the subjecy that I am painting and (as I am only learning) I often find that the paintings look disjointed or don't flow as I would like them to. I know and understand that semi-professional and professional mix all their colours but are they all from limeted pallettes? I would be interested to know what others think about this or what they use. I am really a fan of impressionist and impasto works so I plan to practice and practice in this style so I guess the questions is, do I keep pushing down this line to amke a limeted pallette to work to bring my paintings together more? Kind regards P.S - If this thread or similar has been posted then could you please refer me to it. I did look through the acrylics but not any other section if I am honest. Thanks.
