Palette 2003
This is my starting palette, constituted of students' grade paints. The palette follows a split primary theory, after Wilcox's book. Thus, the basic palette is made of six paints (two set of three primaries). The extended palette incorporates some of the extended palette paints recommended by Wilcox.
I ditched these paints from my artwork in 2006, when I upgraded to artists' quality paints (although I used some in a few earlier works in that year).
| Basic palette | Name | Brand | Lightfastness/Permanence | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coeruleum (hue) | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The green-blue primary. |
| Ultramarine | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The violet-blue primary. |
| Cadmium red (hue) | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The orange-red primary. |
| Crimson | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The violet-red primary. I ditched this paint for "purple" after reading the second edition of Wilcox's book. |
| Purple | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The violet-red primary (which displaced "crimson" from that role). |
| Lemon yellow | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The green-yellow primary. |
| Cadmium yellow (hue) | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | The orange-yellow primary. |
| Extended palette | Name | Brand | Lightfastness/Permanence | Notes |
| Titanium white | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | Yet, a basic paint in my palette. |
| Phtalo blue (phtalocyanine) | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | |
| Yellow ochre | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Excellent (4/4) | |
| Phtalo green (phtalocyanine) | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | |
| Emerald | System-3 | Daler-Rowney | Very good (3/4) | A left over paint of a trial set I bought when deciding whether acrylic paint and painting, in general, was going to be for me. |
