Just wanted to say it’s a nice initiative!

BTW I stumbled upon this place because the creator (hilliard) responded to one of my comments with “judges you in Zorn”, but the thread was deleted and I have no idea what my comment was 😅

    shame they deleted it. the linux bit was hilarious
    my black is the same, with a touch of [probably unnecessary] red. I’ll mix up a perfect black, store it in an empty tube, then obsessively cherish it–which is where the filler black comes in :-) I also have other paints, but kind of overly romanticise the limited palette
    [oh, and I pinned this post, hope that’s okay. it’s far more welcoming than I could ever be without feeling contrived]

      Ha ha I totally understand, it even crossed my mind when I saw those empty (sennelier?) tubes one day.

      I like mixing so I usually just take any earthy color + ultramarine, probably because I’m too lazy too.

      I love my limited palette, but then I use lots of other colors anyways, it’s good to have a starting point I guess?

      Pinning totally ok!
