  3. absolutely love 'em. Just wondering, what do you like to put on your palette when working plein air? Do you change it up each time, or stick to a consistent one?
    Also, yes, painting on the DS is as good as it sounds.

  5. It was actually last month that I was at Laguna. I had to wait for the paint to dry before I scanned and posted it.

    Marco, I don't really have a set palette yet, but looking at these two together it sure looks like I'm using the exact same colors. I have been trying to get the browns off my palette and do more mixing from the primaries, but I am still using umber too much I think.

    Thanks for the compliments.
