The suggested sizes to paint on are: no smaller than 10×14 ” and any size up to 18×24” The Red Barn, by Albert Handell, oil 24x36 I have received a number of phone calls and emails asking me to clarify my oil palette not just with colors but the colors and the brands. Though I do experiment a lot, my initial palette and brand from the very beginning was and basically still is Winsor Newton (WN)… beware I am not referring to their student grade which can be confusing, for the student grade is named Winton Newton. I don’t use them! All the following colors are WN except otherwise noted: Titanium White Cadmium Yellow Light Cadmium Yellow Medium Cadmium Orange Cadmium Red Light Alizarin Crimson Permanent Vandyke Brown Naples Yellow Burnt Sienna Serves Blue (Rembrandt) Cobalt Blue Ultramarine Blue Veridian Sap Green Ivory Black I like to paint large oils in the studio, I find there is lots of mixing, and a lot of the tones I mix are middle tones, and I find having these already mixed middle tones on my palette a help.
