I like the #3 Daniel Smith Piemontite Genuine - because of mixing - it looks like if might give some interesting colors. I am a painter but have not try this paint. I stick pretty closely to the three primary colors three cool and three warm and mix from there. Looks like fun!
Lisa, since you have the art toolkit palette, I would use multiple smaller pans, and at least put in two quarter pans. Or, you could put in ALL the extra colors and use 4 eighth pans, and you wouldn’t have to pick just one. I can see the merits of all 4 choices. That sodalite is amazing and I really get why you are drawn to the pink. I feel that way about DS Lavender. It’s a good desert color.
I would replace the van dyke brown with the piemontite. I love the shell pink and I’m crazy over bloodstone, but what about adding Aussie red gold ? I think that is just an awesome color
Of the colors you posted I like piedmontite the best. But when I look at your sunset photos, the colors I want to reach for are quinacridone coral, quinacridone magenta, and Naples yellow deep!
Hi Logan! I just took quin coral and magenta off my palette and put quin rose back on since I hadn't been using the coral all that much. I can mix quin coral with Hansa yellow medium + rose :) Haven't tried Naples yellow deep yet -- thanks!
So fun to walk the dogs! Something so unexpected!
It really was! I’ve always wanted to do it!!

It really does have some fun mixes! Decisions, decisions…

Yes! The only thing is this is my big brush palette so I really need the double pans…
I voted for piemontite because I love it and use it myself, but the bloodstone is also beautiful. I see they are tied right now!
I love Marfa and the Davis Mountains but never stayed at the park. You gave me some great ideas!!!
Hi Laurie! Davis Mountains SP is a gem of a park -- love it there! Be sure to stop by the bird blinds!
Just in case you're not aware of it, "para llevar" in Spanish means 'to take out.'
Hi Steve! Yes! I looked it up :)

Hi, Ilene! I haven't tried Aussie red gold yet -- maybe next time I get paints, thanks!

I just took Quin rose off mine because I can mix it with the coral and magenta, lol! There are so many ways to mix!
So true!! Last year I took off rose and added coral and magenta — it’s such a good combo! But now I want to use up my tube of rose lol!
