Hi All,

I just ran across this thread and found it interesting. I have completed a workshop with Marvin and have found his palette to be a life saver. Yes, we use alot of brushes. One for every size/value/chroma mixture. We do NOT use any solvents in our paintings so there is no constant rinsing of brushes when I change colors in turps that fume into my world. I keep the brush for next use in a tiered brush holder with value numbers on it to keep me organized. It's like playing a piano when I'm in a flow. Right now I'm painting a black Labrador dog. I've mixed up the values of B&W across my palette, with ultra marine blue, perm aliz, raw umber, and yellow ochre on the side to change the chroma of my grays to match what I see in my reference. WOW it's clean & easy. I'll post my palette layout when I get it mixed today if you'd like.
