Money in the bank!
I'm a little surprised at the lack of gratitude towards Marvin in his bringing to bear the subject of dispensing with cadmiums. I don't mean in regard to the improvement of your flesh tones - I mean the improvement in your bank account! Cadmium paints are notoriously expensive compared to earth colors - think of the savings!
Why, you'll be able to send yourself to - mmmaybe - a Mattelson workshop!!!
All kidding aside, from every arguable point of view, be it historically-based (as it is) or no, the Paxton palette makes the most sense. The amount of overmixing I've done in order to tweak the chroma out of cadmium colors has been enough to give my right forearm a "Popeye" look.
I know it seems so unlike me, Marvin, to cop so quickly to something you've suggested. Perhaps I'm not as stubborn as I was when I was a student. Could it be that having 2 kids has worn down my stoicism?
Be well, and keep that Flake White off your toast!
