Simple Painting Instructions - Day 1: "Arranging Colours on your Palette"
I want you to think of economy when arranging the colours on your palette....economy of time. There are many ways to arrange the paint, but it is important to be consistent so that you can go to the colour that you need without having to search for it. Even if it takes an extra second each time, it adds up.
I might suggest that you arrange the colours from warm to cool or vice-versa, similar to the colour wheel. This may mean in a complete circle or in an L shape around the top of your palette.
Here is an example from learntodrawnandpaint.com:
Or another example from "How to Draw and Paint" by Henry Gasser:
Both set-ups are remarkably similar, and allow space for mixing of colours.
Tomorrow, we will spend more time learning how to mix colours!
