I look forward to the palette post. It will be a fun one. Yes, yellow ochre is a great color to add. I often add it to my palette, especially when I am painting outside. But, I can get a pretty good mix of my own, that's why it wasn't in the video. Thanks! Lori Hi Karen, it’s great seeing you here as well as on my fan page! I look forward to the palette post.

You just can't make a decent ochre by mixing, and that was important to me because I used it a lot. I'll post my palette to your facebook wall, but it isn't being used for painting at the moment, so there is no paint on it. But it is very large, and paint was arranged in a circle with a large amount of white and less black in the inside circle. It was easy to clean since I could just use a scraper, and the large size let me use as much wet medium as I wanted. I would add Yellow Ochre to the list.
