Palette

When artists talk about palettes, they mean one of two things: either the thing they mix their colours on, or the range of colours that they use in a painting.

This post is about the colours.

LEGO® Minifigures 55: Artist ("Ceci n'est pas un peintre")

Elements of this figure may be familiar from my avatar (profile picture). This fellow is, quite apart from being a fellow (which I am not*), rather more of a traditional sort of artist than I am. So I decided that he wouldn't suit the clinical whiteness of my default ceramic tile background, and I put him on top of my old wooden palette (which is, of course, for use with oils). He seems, from his clothes, to be a messy painter, so it's fitting that there is paint residue on the palette... which I think makes a good floor for his studio.
