As an artist, you really only need 8 colours for a full range of colour. If you’re happy to mix on the go, and I’m always full of admiration for those artists I see painting on location with the tiniest of palettes, then 8 would be enough (some might argue, excessive). Unfortunately, my use of colour leans towards abundance and so my very ‘limited’ palette has 39 colours.

This video shows all of my 39 colour choices for my holiday artwork this January. For a full list of the colours and/or to read more about how to select the 8 must-have colours mentioned above, go to chasingthejoyartwork.com
