To continue the previous post, here’s a list of the colours that are useful. A limited palette can force you to learn mixing well, but might also frustrate you or delay the learning process. So, it’s quite alright to start with a set of 12 artist-grade colours readily available, and add or minus as you go. Here are the ones I like to work with -
Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Prussian blue, Cerulean blue
Crimson Lake
Cadmium yellow deep, Chrome yellow, Naples yellow
Vermilion, Cadmium red deep
Burnt Sienna, Vandyke brown
Burnt Umber, Raw umber
Yellow Ochre, Lemon yellow
Titanium White, Flake white, Zinc white
Sap green, Viridian green, Olive green (can be mixed too) ,
Black is needed sparingly. I do have some more hues for convenience, but they don’t get used much.
