Regula Scheifele Fine Art

[EN] I was asked about the colors I used in this portrait, so thought I’d post it (since I love to read about what others use as well…).
I tend to go for a very limited palette to stay with and add additional colors if needed. For this portrait I stuck to what you see on the photo:
Yellow Ochre (PY42), Rose (PV23/PV19), Cerulean Blue (PG7/PB15) and Burnt Umber (PY42/PBr6). And of course white and a teeny bit of black.
What’s your usual palette? Limited or full rainbow?
[DE] Für dieses Portrait habe ich wie meistens mit einer limitierten Anzahl Farben gearbeitet: Ocker gelb (PY42), Rose (PV23/PV19), Cerulean Blau (PG7/PB15) und Umbra gebrannt (PY42/PBr6). Und natürlich Weiss und etwas Schwarz.
Benutzt ihr auch eine ‘limitierte Palette’? Oder lieber das volle Spektrum des Regenbogens?

Looking back on 2021 - I also enjoyed practicing portrait drawing: ballpoint, pencil or digital. Great fun - and I realized how much this helped when doing a recent portrait commission painted in oils (which I can’t post yet as it’s not delivered).
Do you also switch between mediums? Or do you rather concentrate on one technique?
Happy 2022!

Der letzte Post in 2021: ein Aquarell für - I recorded the „making of“ and will post it tomorrow. If you can’t wait, head over to and look for it in their reels!
I really enjoyed using the ‚Fontaine‘ watercolor sketchbook by Clairefontaine. Das quadratische Aquarelle-Buch hat tolles Papier!
