About this lesson
Compares three limited palettes: an earth-toned palette inspired by Rembrandt, a bright triad inspired by Sargent, and a modern high-chroma synthetic palette. Mixing wheels show the range each one covers, and the article discusses pigment choices and how each palette handles glazing and tinting.
