This palette is a pretty large one, and you can do almost anything with it. But for many
things it is better to have more of certain kinds of colors and less of others. This is a good
palette for all sorts of in-the-house work, and if you call it a still-life palette, it will name
it very well. For a student it will do anything he is apt to be capable of for a good while.

A Landscape Palette. - Landscape calls for pitch and vibration. You must have pure
color and great luminosity, yet a range of color which will permit of all sorts of effects.
The following will serve for everything out-of-doors, and I have seen it with practically
no change in the hands of very powerful and exquisite painters. There are no browns and
blacks in it because the colors which they would give are to be made by mixing the purer
pigments, so as to give more life and vibration to the color. The Blackest note may be
gotten with ultramarine and rose madder with a little veridian if too purple; the result
will be blacker than black, and have daylight in it. The ochre is needed more particularly
to warm the veridian.
