Terra Rosa
Rembrandt:
- Cadmium Yellow Deep

Notes:
Source: extracted from Richard's website, 2001 (
www.richardschmid.com). Richard also lists additional colors he uses; the above lists colors he indicates are always on his palette. He does not list manufacturers as an endorsement, but simply to indicate the colors he currently uses.
See Richard's magnificent book
"Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting" and his website for additional discussion.
As a note, painter's palettes are often modified over time. If in this orother posts, more current information is available, please advise.
