Thursday night we had the monthly Manassas Art Guild membership meeting with our very own artist, Michele Frantz, doing a limited palette lesson and demonstration.  Michele went over the advantages of using a limited palette (less paint = more $ in your pocket) and the ways she uses a limited palette to achieve consistent colors in her works.  Below is a chart showing how to use a six primary color wheel.  

Michele’s colors are: 

- Cool: Phthalo Blue, Cadmium Yellow Light, Quinacridone Red
- Warm: Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Red Light

As you can see from the picture above Michele also did a very nice demonstration of a still life using an acrylic six primary limited palette.  I was not able to stay until the end so I did not get to see the finished painting but Michele got off to a great start.
