"Insignificance #1" in acrylic

Love the limited palette.

I tend to use a very limited palette. My water colour palette has three red - brown elements, four yellows and three blues - but i would never expect to use more than half of those colours at any one time. I have been a leather technician all my working life and that has included colour matching in both dyes and pigments - 3 basic colours are the most we would look to use in matching a shade. A limited palette does tend to give continuity of colour though a painting and holds the painting together. Tonal values are more important than colour to my mind. cheers Mike C.
