Two retired GOLDEN colleagues and I meet monthly to create a 6" x 6" painting using a “blind” selection of three Golden colors, plus Titanium White. Because this limited palette approach contrasts with my usual process—where subject drives color, I often preview the mixing range using the virtual paint mixer. This helps guide my subject choice. Here is a nice neutral brown mixed from April’s colors.
