What do you do when you are still learning where to layout your paints on your pallet? You learn to write backwards and engrave the paint colors on the bottom side of the pallet itself and then color them black.
Unfortunately my creativity is only expressed on my canvas. Everything else is evaluated by the engineer in me. Not sure if that will change over time, but for the moment it is how I deal with these two personalities.
And I have many more voices yelling at me in my head, but I rarely listen to them. LOL
I used to try to stay organized. But, now I'm pretty haphazard. I don't really clean my brushes until I'm finished and my paints are all laid out close. In fact, when I'm done it pretty much just looks like one big blob on my palette.
After watching the Alexander, "Yellow, Red and Blue will do" videos and his thoughts on harmony with the paint, I've just kind of winged it. So, I have colors on the edge and the big blob in the middle.
All of that is a convoluted way to say I'm unorganized! And it probably shows in my work! 😜
It is actually a fantastic idea. I have had mine labeled for Bob Ross landscape classes for about five years. I did mine with a die cutter to put labels on the underside. For classes I often am not the person putting paint out on the palette, so my assistant knows exactly where to put my paints to keep me organized.Mine are getting a bit harder to see after five years of use. Will post a photo when I get out to the studio this morning.
