Many artists use a modest palette or may work from primary colors (red, blue, yellow) with white. Here is a snapshot of a standard field palette that includes nineteen (19) hues (utilized for "Big Sur," December 2021). It is my customary practice to use an array of warmer and cooler hues for: purple, red, yellow, green, and blue, color groups. For some decades, all of my work has been executed with acrylic pigments; therefore, this is a portable field, water-tight tray (that features, not shown here, a gasket lid with additional pull out tray for mixing). To enhance chemical integrity, it is rare, if at all, where I cross blend manufacturer's pigment lines, let alone different manufacturer's pigments. This is one (1) of about four (4) lines I currently have stocked. Each line I maintain has approximately 20-40 pigment selections. It features a vehicle base that is not best suited for field work due to quick drying time.
