Left over palette by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley

Comments

What a great sketch and a very productive idea. I just cleaned my palette and had to sacrifice some beautiful golden ochre! Shall follow your example next time! THANK YOU!

Thank you Dmitry. ... I love golden ochre; I hate waste. I look forward to some left over palette works!

Great selection of left overs there Gudrun, formed a good portrait.

As a leisure painter I find you words and ideas most enlightening and thought provoking. Marvellous.

Thank you Martin. Perhaps we shall see some left over palette paintings?

Brilliant, Gudrun, there you go, Dmitry, I hate waste, too...excellent idea!
