It was really interesting and I discovered quite a few new materials and little tools that I hadn\u2019t come across before. I particularly enjoy seeing how different artists organise their sketching kits and adapt their materials to working on location. At the same time, I have to admit I\u2019m starting to feel a little overwhelmed by the fact that every artist seems to use a different selection of colours! Every time I discover a new palette, I feel like I\u2019m missing exactly those colours and that I\u2019ll never quite have the right ones. Maybe the lesson is simply to stop looking for the <em>perfect<\/em> palette and start using the one I already have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;In my travel palette, I have about twenty-two colours. These are the ones I use all the time. Even in my studio palette, I have these same colours. What I do is keep them in the same order in all my palettes so that I can find them easily. So if I&#8217;m in conditions that are difficult, and I have to paint quickly, I always know that the Cerulean Blue is in between the Turquoise and the Cobalt Blue.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While reading Shari Blaukopf\u2019s book Working with Colour, I came across this little introduction to her work, where she goes through the materials and tools she takes with her when sketching outdoors.
