I have received a number of phone calls and emails asking me to clarify my oil palette not just with colors but the colors and the brands.

Though I do experiment a lot, my initial palette and brand from the very beginning was and basically still is Winsor Newton (WN)… beware I am not referring to their student grade which can be confusing, for the student grade is named Winton Newton. I don’t use them!

All the following colors are WN except otherwise noted:

Titanium White

Cadmium Yellow Light

Cadmium Yellow Medium

Cadmium Orange

Cadmium Red Light

Alizarin Crimson Permanent

Vandyke Brown

Naples Yellow

Burnt Sienna

Serves Blue (Rembrandt)

Cobalt Blue

Ultramarine Blue

Veridian

Sap Green

Ivory Black

I like to paint large oils in the studio, I find there is lots of mixing, and a lot of the tones I mix are middle tones, and I find having these already mixed middle tones on my palette a help.
