Medium: Open to all mediums – Philip will work in oil
Date recorded: Friday, July 31, 2026
Using a limited palette is magic. The Old and New Masters have used it for a very good reason—it harmonizes a painting and allows for a rich exploration and expression of the subject. In this Technique Takeaway, artist Philip Frey will present basic color theory and demonstrate the use of one of his favorite limited palettes on a painting.
