What is Chis's pallet for this painting?

Chris, in a painting like this one, that has so much going on, when I block one color at the time I seem to get a bit lost, (I’m super dyslexic, so in most of my paintings I do one at a time (in this case I would do one rock then the next on full) and I hate doing this because I have to prepare more paint because I won’t ever mix that exact color again, your way seems so much easier, my brain is just not seeing it when I’m in my canvas.

I understand what you are saying. It takes practice to be able to see the big picture and shapes. Try not to think of them as rocks at first. Just a collection of light and dark shapes. I also will admit that this subject is pretty tough. I should have used a sample with like five rocks hahah so don't be too hard on yourself if you don't get it right away.

Can you use a different color than cad lemon? I have cad yellow and winsor lemon. Hate to buy another color.

Hi, is there a video about how to start painting outside or en plein air? I love how you get us to get out there and paint. I just don't know what I should bring? or... what is in your set ups when you go outside to paint. I hope I make sense.

I need to make a YouTube video on it. It's hard to film out on location but I am considering adding a plein air tier too.
