    Do you use a brand that has Vermillion- if so, will you tell me which it is? I can't find it online and have searched online and there does not seem to be agreement for an alternative to that color - closest seems to be either Cad Red L or M. What do you actually use? Thank you. I have enjoyed several paintings using your Van Gogh style - not ready to post yet...bold and colorful. I would love to see more LANDSCAPE videos in the Van Gogh style, acrylic version. Thank you.

    I am forever looking for an effective limited palette in acrylics - do you use a limited palette or recommendations? Thank you.

    • @mygeekfamilycotton
      @mygeekfamilycotton 3 дня назад

      I do use a very limited palette : Black(sparingly, as I usually prefer brown+blue) and white, yellow ochre, Vermillion, Cerulean Blue and Burnt umber. a bit like a variation of the Zorn Palette. I sometimes complement this with other colors when I need a more complex and particular hue : purple, vert-de-gris, lime green... that type of things... having said that, I find that, for "classical" portraits and landscapes, the limited palette is already fantastic, although a more "modern" style would call for maybe more popping colors (Maybe you can replace the ochre by a yellow?) Hope that helps?

      When VG passed, it was found he had large amounts of lead in the body due to eating paint regularly (this would have given him plumbism, in part responsible for his poor health, mental and physical).
