Big Realization Today + Current Palette

  I had a big realization today regarding technique that I feel will help a lot of artists out there who may feel lost with technique.  I've written about this before, but I realized again that if you think there's a right way (and wrong way) to do something then you're doing it wrong.  By this I mean that there is no right way and wrong way to do something and you can throw all those ideas away.  Don't limit yourself in your thoughts.  Give yourself freedom to experiment with your colors, your paint thickness, brush selection and anything else.
 That being said, I did want to document my current oil painting palette as a way to track my progress.  Below is my current full palette, but I definitely don't use all these colors in every painting, but it's a good starting place for anyone looking for a broad range to choose from.
