National Gallery The Artist's Palette

The palette is the most intimate and potent of an artist’s tools. From traditional wooden boards to ceramic plates and pots of paint, every palette has a story to tell and secrets to reveal. Within this book's pages you will find 50 palettes presented alongside paintings by the artists who used them. Alexandra Loske investigates each pairing to provide new insights into the artist’s use of colour, brushes, palette knives and other painting tools, to uncover surprising new stories about each artist and their work.
