No palette? No problem, when painting oils, you can always paint alla prima (wet on wet) and mix the colours on the canvas as you go. This winter scene has a translucent look to it, by lightly painting a layer and mixing the colours on a canvas when wet. Try this technique in your next winter landscape and give it a go yourself.
