Georges Seurat’s looks like a group of men sitting around.
I love how you can recognise their particular strokes. Seurat’s looks as meticulous as his paintings. But especially Van Gogh’s strokes are immediately recognisable.
i thought it was really funny, but when i scroll down to the last one i was thinking “that looks like van gogh”…. and it was, different (brush)strokes for different folks!
This was wonderful to view! Artists that I am in such awe of…to see their palette process frozen in time!
Degas’ looks as dreamy as his works, Seurat’s color seperations are as orderly as his pointilism and van Gogh…frenetic as his great work. Wow…
The palettes mimic the artists…
Lovely also the the wooden palettes and the distinct styles approaches to painting Seurat pale airy colours orderly and in contrast to others obvious more energetic approach – there is a great book on artist’s working studios Thames and Hudson that is also fascinating black and white well mine is old now artists like Giacometti etc.
Still this view is so welcome fresh.
Cheers!
These reminds me of my Mango Shaped Palette Board…

Thanks for the palettes! I enjoyed reviewing each one and idividually thinking about their paintings. I love Renor and it was apparent that the “green strokes” followed its Master. Thanks for sharing.
I love the palletes. As an artist I always wonder how other artists lay out their colours. All of these palletes are wood and the palette background colour is brown. This shows up the paint colours differently from mixing them say on a glass or white palette background. I was wondering therefor if artists tinted their canvases a brown colour too before they started a painting? Just a thought.I love your whole blog site.
Isadora: Good point, and yes, most of these artists started with a canvas toned in a dull color.
I love these! I only wish I knew what work they corresponded with.
From the viewpoint of a non-art professional but the youngest sister of an art historian I find these palletes most interesting even though I’m sure they were not intended to be a serious piece of their legacy. Very telling of their individual styles. I enjoyed the blog very much. Kudos!!!
The dirty grubs never cleaned their palettes.
I love these! I have always thought the palettes of famous artists would be interesting and “informative” in a way. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
these would be worth more to me than the art they produced.
me too!!!
exquisite works of art…
