Last month I went to visit family in Door County, Wisconsin. I brought along my trusty 9x12 Guerrilla Box and paints. The leaves were just starting to change color, the weather was great, and the mosquitoes were thick.
I brought my standard palette, which consists of: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Orange, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Red Light, Alizarin Crimson, Dioxazine Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Viridian Hue (Phthalo green),
The earth tones are a recent addition. I always tended to avoid them, preferring to mix my own neutrals with complimentary colors. While I still mix my own neutrals, I tend to use the Yellow Ochre and Burnt Sienna as a way to knock down a color's intensity. They are used only to "tweak" a mixture, and are never the bulk/starting point.
