I agree here.... Remember using a "Famous Painter's Palette" won't make you a better painter... the more colors you add to your palette, the more confused you will be and the less you will learn about proper color mixing.

Look at Anders Zorn's paintings for example, he uses 4 colors in most of his paintings Black, White, cad red and yellow ochre... and he achieves the most beautiful color harmonies.... Why? because he understands color and how it works and why.... and he also knows how to draw the figure extremely well which is what most people suffer from.

Trying to use a great painter's palette without knowing how to mix warm and cool of any color with a limited palette is like buying a high end race car and having a bus driver drive it.

Don't bother trying to use someone else's palette until you master a basic limited palette.

Then go to a good painters palette and do color charts for it... see Richard Schmid's explanation of this....

This is how I teach my students.... First you use Pthalo Blue, Black and White or some other simplified monochromatic palette to paint to get used to "drawing" with paint and getting values... then you move to Zorn palliate. understanding warm and cool color in flesh tones.... If you don't understand that, you never get any further in my class...

Draw, Draw, Draw! Then paint, paint, paint!
