    A demonstration of how I go about setting up my palette for oil painting..

    I’ve recieved some great questions so Im going to answer them here (confounded word count!):

    As far as what goes on in the palette, I mix basic groups, more so when Im landscape painting, but I dont spend too much time planning (on purpose). Dont use as many greys as Picasso did but maybe I will some day. I use a lot of white, basing my mixes on it like Gauguin did. I love to experiment and avoid formulas. My palette always changes and often spins out of control but thats ok as I only take an hour or two to paint. Sometimes I work with 2 palettes. I rarely use a single hue to harmonize from the palette but rather let the wet (or dry) underpainting unify the painting based on the mood or temp I want to express. Also the messy brushes help add unpredicted colors and if it gets muddy I just lift it with more pigment. Need lots of rags to do this and I limit my use of turpenoid, going with pure linseed oil and sometimes copal medium and Damar varnish. I should do a demo on my way of using mediums and mixing..
    Ive done a few great paintings on a limited palette (see Presidio Doorway on my site) but the painting ends up looking a bit too traditional for me so I usually dont do that. Lately I think, the more color the better and the more one can successfully get away with using pure color balanced with a touch of tonalism (one to three ration of complimentary colors) the better. Not unlike what Matisse did..

    Song: Furious Angel by Rob Dougan

    I mounted a digital camcorder overhead to film the time-lapse. This is my first speed painting video. I decided to record the whole process so that other artist or people looking to buy artwork can see the whole process. Hopefully being on Youtube and having people all over the world see and comment on my work.
