¡Hola! So when I go paint plein air, I like to use a limited palette: titanium zinc white, yellow ochre, cad red light, and a chromatic black. And with those colors, you can get pretty much any color that you need painting landscape. So the blues, you can get those by mixing the chromatic black with white, and of course the oranges and yellows and every tint and shade in between.
