My Full Oil Palette

[@Shuvah2Him]

I made palates with picture frames - paint the back of glass with neutral grey - back the glass with a stiff lightweight material - add thin metal on back so it will stick to magnets either on vertical or horizontal surface - pics on my FB

[@flyinghaggertys9362]

Thanks for sharing! I’m starting in on oil painting after doing watercolor and soft pastels for years. It’s really nice to see palette tours and get an idea of what is common between different kinds of artists and then add the personal favorite pigments to that start.

[@adu2526]

I will watch this video again and again, so much information you provided! Thank you.

[@tannersteedart]

Fantastic! I am glad you have found it helpful.

[@elinaavene7948]

Thank you so much for this amazing video. Happy painting! 🎨

[@tannersteedart]

My pleasure 😊

Very nice video. Thank you for sharing your palette. I learned a lot.

[@tannersteedart]

My pleasure!

Great content as always Tanner. Keep it up! Your color choices are very good. My palette is really really really similar to yours but I’m not buying expensive brands anymore. For the last one year I started making my own oil paint, that might be another interesting subject for your next video by the way. It’s always nice for me to see other artists sharing their color palette and paint making process. I have a color palette of 9 or 10 paint: White, a warmer and a cooler hue of each primary, a green color, and one or two brown colors. What’s good about this palette is that almost all colors have a transparent and an opaque versions. It’s not only versatile for color harmony and temperature, but also really good for different painting techniques. Also I find out that this palette is a combination of traditional (red-yellow-blue) and modern (cyan-magenta-yellow) color palettes. A lot of color can be mixed with these colors: Titanium white -the most common and superior white pigment. Lead white might be more convinient to work with but I don’t think it worths the health risks, Cadmium lemon -cool yellow, but not as acidic as hansa lemon or not as pale as bismuth yellow, I think it’s almost the best choice for a primary yellow. Cool, opaque yellow Indian yellow (PY65) or hansa yellow -deep, warm yellow with a really good golden undertone. I used to use yellow ochre but it’s a bit too opaque and earthy for my warm yellow taste. Warm, transparent yellow Pyrolle red (PR254) -just replaced my cadmium red medium with this pigment. It’s not as opaque or strong as cadmium red and slightly more cooler, but it’s much more cleaner in mixes and tints and I can easily mix cadmium red tones with a bit of indian yellow mixed with this color. Warm, opaque red Magenta (PR122) -a beautiful but unnatural looking cool red. Some prefer quinacridone rose but I like this pigment more, it’s more versatile and practical to use. Only downside is that it dries really really slowly. Even slower than cadmiums and titanium white. Cool, transparent red Ultramarine blue -no need to introduce the best blue pigment ever. Wouldn’t live without it. Cool, transparent blue Cobalt teal (PB28) -the best cyan/teal color in the market. I love its opaquness and hue, it’s truely unique, even pthalo blue cannot go near that color. Warm, opaque blue Pthalo green (PG36) -I love this color, I don’t know why. It might be the most strong and staining color ever, I’d say it is the best middle of the way green. Not an easy color to deal with if you’re not familiar with its strange properties but it might be reslly rewarding. I don’t think anyone can mix such green hue though, even with a palette like mine Transparent red oxide (PR101) -red/orange brown color with such an awesome vivid undertone. Best color to mix blacks with ultramarine blue and to paint underpainting/imprimatura. Warm, transparent brown Burnt umber (PBr7) -classical earth color, really good at toning down yellow and red colors and also good for mixing blacks as well. Cool, opaque brown

A cool video could be to demonstate mixing some of the colours you make often

[@tannersteedart]

Great idea! It may be a while until I can make this. In the meantime, let me know if you'd be interested in joining my online lessons. Fridays 9-12 mtn std time

What a useful video, thank you

[@tannersteedart]

My pleasure

[@diegoallcore]

This was amazing. Thanks

[@tannersteedart]

My pleasure!

[@victoriaconto8231]

I love your videos! You do some amazing work and it very inspirational. Ive always wanted to try oils as ive tried pretty much everything else and you make me want to use it right away. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

[@LadyImperatrix]

Thank you for alleviating my secret guilt for using ivory black from time to time. I’ve used it quite a lot in my most recent painting, in just the way to describe, to “kill” a color, and I could hear past instructors yelling at me through space and time. 🤣 Also, thanks for the tip about alizarin crimson! I am ordering the permanent version today! (Along with some canvases and new brushes because, hey, why not? 😋) I’m really enjoying your videos and I learn something new in every one. Thanks so much!

[@cathysheffield4346]

[@meijerssven]

[@tannersteedart]

Great list. I'd approve-excluding zinc white.

[@Megzamani]

Thank you

[@teresatsamis3221]

Hi Tanner, love you videos, ❤ which is the best pallet to use?

[@bradad2026]

Very helpful. Thank you. Not seeing it on your palette and coming from a country of warm, raw colours (hello from Australia) which of your colours would you use to create a Yellow Ochre which we use quite often here.

[@tannersteedart]

I occasionally use yellow ochre pale. A similar color is definitely miracle with my current palette. Raw sienna, transparent red oxide and a bit of titanium white does the trick.

[@muhlenstedt]

Thank you for this great video, very informative. Is there any special reason why you prefer Ultramarine and not Ultramarine Deep (R. Schmid palette)?

[@tannersteedart]

I haven't seen a strong difference between the two. Therefore, I'll use either.

[@JeanneTDeaux]

What are your thoughts on Prussian Blue?

[@mathewfines8727]

How would you compare naples yellow, with titanium white unbleached?

[@danielfernandeznungaray8996]

That hawk really made all the advertising fir me to watch this video 😅

[@tannersteedart]

Lol, I'm glad it was effective.

[@babycakes9337]

Pale rose blush reminded me of band aids! They’re supposed to be suitable for ‘skin tone’

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

I've never yet found a Naples Yellow - other than the very expensive genuine pigment - which doesn't contain Zinc White: have you found one, and if so - who makes it? I think Michael Harding (you showed his King's Blue) is phasing out Zinc - presumably he'll replace it in the King's Blue.

[@starbucks1971]

Which titanium white do you prefer? Student vs. Artist

[@tannersteedart]

Williamsburg titanium white (artist grade) And lately, a lot more -Williamsburg Flake white (artist grade)

[@starbucks1971]

@@tannersteedart thank you I am currently using Student Titanium White. I'm thinking about purchasing the artist's product. Is there a difference in performance?

[@bjornviir3333]

is oil superior in finish to acrylic or acrylic with varnish comes close....i think acrylic has come a long way but i am no expert.

[@tannersteedart]

I have seen some acrylic paintings that I could have sworn were oils. It's all in the technique. But I certainly prefer oils, as you get a uniquely transparent build up of paint if you work in many layers

[@bebopkirby]

Surprised you haven’t been hit with cultural appropriation, stay wary mon.

[@lindegold7481]

what is your thought on Vasary paints, they are pure color pigments very little oil, you can use sparingly.

[@catherinelangley7991]

Why do you use raw sienna, not yellow ochre?

[@radurobert1]

MY PAINTINGS SHOULD LAST ONLY AS MUCH AS I LIVE 😀 I have 0 wish for my paintings to last any longer and will be unfair for my paintings to live past my life

[@tannersteedart]

Hey, sometimes you need to "kill" the color. With less saturation overall you can be more decisive in your use of saturated color by selecting certain focal points with more saturation. It's just one more way to create contrast in your paintings.. Thank you for your support! I'll be coming out with videos weekly, so stay tuned!
