This is probably the best video about this subject. Congrats.

A limited palette is the way to go and a way to grow, expression doesn't need every colour to paint a world. Well done Florent..

Your videos are always so informative! Thank you!!!!!

Limited palettes are awesome! One exercise I did once from a landscape photo was to strategically layer ivory black over white for warm areas, vs (usually very dilute) titanium white over ivory black for cool areas. It really made me think about how much I could use said layering to push things forward and backwards, while essentially limiting myself to 2 paints. Thank you for the video!

Favorite ideas! I'll try! Merci beaucoup!

muchas gracias Florent, por tus enseñanzas desinteresadas

It's an amazing concept idea that you already shared! Thanks Florent! A warm and a cool and join brushtrokes...

Great as always.

Excellent ideas!! Thank you!

A great insight into, the world of very limited palettes Florent. Thanks for sharing and uploading the video.

Great video. Very inspiring!! Ty

You greatly expanded my thinking the possibilities of limited palettes! I appreciate this! Ty

I am a long time artist but fairly new oil painter, I love painting with a limited palette and this was very helpful!

Excellent information. Thank so much 🙏🏻

This is very helpful. Thank you very much. Please do video demos on limited palette painting in the future.🙏

Thanks for this video. Very useful. I've been struggling for a long time to get control over what I'm doing, and I think maybe starting again with a limited palette is the way to go.

Interesting! Should be fun experimenting with it.

It was very informative video, thank you.

Magnificent!

Great info! Super!

Really informative thanks !

Thank God I found you. I am learning so much 😘

My third time watching this great video!! Thank you!

I like to use a limited palette using the tree primary colors adding white and earth colors. I've now expanded it to 6 primary colors (3 warm and 3 cool). This give a very wide range of colors that can be mixed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and increase our understanding of art.

Good for you but to be honest, I think that's the opposite of what is being proposed here. Your 'limited palette' is not really limited... Then again, if you having fun and good stuff comes out: who cares?

Ultramarine blue, red iron oxide and white looks my next favorite limited palete. What follows is a note to self. Other options that should make black/greys when mixed: Yellow/ocre + ultramarine/dioxazine Quin. Magenta + Pthalo Emerald Pyrrole + Ptalo Blue Adding white should work similarly. In that what that is 3 color palete (white included).

It is quite enjoyable to limit your palette, it really makes you focus more on value rather than in chroma, and allows you to have more attention to detail having freedom to take the the painting towards one tone or another later with glazing layers or keeping it more natural and monochromatic, would be very enjoyable to se more of this on the future, been following for a few years, keep the great content, cheers from Mexico!

It is indeed, there is also one thing I forgot to mention and your comment makes me think about it : if you have a limited range of colors all over the painting, it makes the chromatic accents more powerful so you can really bring focus to specific points. I'll think about this for future videos... Cheers

Awesome painter

I recently started to work with limited palette ( white + primaries+ burnt umber) and I really like it, compared to before when i was using something like a dozen colours at least.

Love limited palette

Florent, could you please discuss/demonstrate a brunaille?

bon continuation

Nice ideas. I normally use not more than 4 or 5 colors. Once or twice I tried monocromatic perylene black/green and white. Only problem is that is one of the longest pigment to dry

I have never tried perylene... Sounds interesting, sometimes, long drying time is needed.

@@FlorentFargesarts yes it's giving a sorta "lunar" shade. Very strange but nice. In France I only found it in lefranc oil (série 1 very cheap)

Great teaching. I always use a limited palette. Love the painting you did that was behind you , where did you find this reference photo? I would love to do that pne

Can i use prussian blue in skin tones

I started a painting with ultra blue, ochre, and white. Then I broke down and added in magenta and black. I see now my colors really should have been complimentary and have been drawn from the subject being portrayed.

Awesome painter and awesome teacher. I am curious, where did you learn to speak such a good English?

@@FlorentFargesarts Well, if you wish you can write me down in your list of new friends in US.

Okay this might sound crazy but i use all my colors (10+) and it kind sucks cause it ends up looking like a rainbow exploded on it and i can never achive that classical palette im looking for im just so... Idk i cant stop for some weird reason.

Dear Florent greetings from Serbia! I am a beginer in painting. In the start I could only use two colours. Now I am adding third. Why is that so that I much easily express on canvas with only thre colours? Is it because I don't know how to mix colours our is it completly un nesesery? Thanks!

Try grisaille.

I usually paint with White Burnt umber Cadmium yellow Alizarin crimson permanent Prussian or ultra marine But for a super limited palette White Burnt sienna Ultramarine Works well

For those that want an extra color or 2 : Blue Ridge Oil Colors has premium paint. 100% PIGMENT & WALNUT OIL. $19 for 150ml (starting)

Can't find english blue?

I used three ultra limited palettes and they were: Burnt Sienna and Sap Green (wiping to bring out the lights, no white). Burnt Sienna, Ivory Black and titanium white. Cad red light, Prussian blue and Titsnium white for a moonscape.

@@mrmeme2378 that's a good one too. I've used light red, yellow Ochre and black. I guess the yellow should be a good addition to this.

Any cool with a warm color you say? I love painting monochromatic, you should show us much better your work, it is really good!

I use only CMYK and titanium white of course. That's it. You can mix every color with this five... like a printer. I wonder why artist always have such a big collection of pigments.

Just an ad for his course, no info on title.
