- Frank Reilly's Famous Palette
My friends at Art of the West Magazine have decided to offer a FREE 6-month subscription of the digital version of their magazine for a limited time. It’s exclusive to the art enthusiasts watching videos on my channel. I receive no financial compensation from this offer, and am humbled they’ve chosen my audience to get it! Lucky you! Here’s the link - aotw.com/subsc... … and the access code: TryDigital
BTW - If you happen to give this a try, please understand that each paint manufacturer's colors will almost surely vary in value from what's been presented.
As a result, you'll probably need to discover exactly where your preferred paint maker's pigments fit onto each row.
For example: the palette in the video has Yellow Ochre (right out of the tube) at value 5 ... your brand's Yellow Ochre might be manufactured a bit lighter, and consequently need to be placed at value 6.
One last point … I’d oversized the cursor for the close-up clip on the palette, to make it easier to see. However, Quicktime decided to reduce the cursor size in the viewable file. Sorry.
I almost forgot! Here are some FREE, rather advanced, art training articles of mine.

Thanks for sharing. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on Reilly's painting method and palette set up. This is the first video I've found. Hopefully you will make a demonstration video of Reilly Palette method in use.
I could tell you stories about how "the palette" has been suppressed over the years, but won't. I'm just grateful Reilly's system was passed along to me so long ago. The brilliant men that selflessly mentored me on it are now all gone. So yeah, I'll probably share more on it as time passes. Thanks for the interest.
5 years ago I looked for a good RUclips video on the Reilly palette, there was none. Thanks for changing that.
About thirty years ago, I had the privilege of interviewing one of Frank Reilly's classroom monitors. He said back in the 1950's, 3 out of every 4 paperback book covers on newsstands were done by Reilly students. They were crushing it in the marketplace with what Frank was teaching.
Thanks for the feedback! If time allows, I may do a few more videos on it.
This is how i have been setting up my palette.
Studies under a guy who studied under Jack Faragasso one of Riley’s original students
Wonderful you had that opportunity … it’s become quite rare. I had the privilege of working with 3 of Frank’s students over the years. All were kind and generous to a fault.
In your opinion, what would be a good resource for more information on the Reilly palette? I'm looking for more color examples.
I'd say Apollo (Nick) Dorian's book - "Values for Pictures Worth a Thousand Words" is the most technically robust volume available on Frank Reilly's method.
I knew Nick Dorian personally ... a wonderful man that used to be one of Reilly's class monitors. Nick was determined to get the information out there before it was lost. Consequently he self-published the book out of his own pocket-back when it was hard to do.
I should add, there's one section Nick put in his book that wasn't part of Reilly's teaching. It's called "Planes" and begins on page 85 (in the copy I have). After the first paragraph or two, it devolves into a "how to manual" on sheet metal forming.
Nick told me he decided to include it, after his years teaching the material in High School.
He also told me he used to get phone calls, at all hours of the day and night … from around the world … after publishing his book.
Amazon has two versions of Nick's book, one digital, the other paperback. Nick worked hard to include a plastic grey scale with his book. The last paperback copy I bought still had the scale included.
Here's a link to the paperback version - www.amazon.com/Values-pictures-Worth-Thousand-Words/dp/B0099WP26M/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I should add, I've personally used the Reilly system for over 45 years, and consequently know it quite well. Some out there might get miffed when I say, Frank Reilly always felt his system was for commercial artists-period. There's more I could say about that, but won't.
My point is, I suggest you take what's shared regarding Frank's palette, etc. and make it your own. Experiment ... plug other colors into the grid (according to their value/hue) that seem to make sense to you ... and see how they work.
Play around, you might be pleasantly surprised! At its core, the palette is really about getting your values under control, which is huge.
Hope that helps!
@@s.c.mummert6263 Wow...I wasn't expecting such a nice detailed response which I thoroughly appreciate. Thank you for the recommendation, I'll get that book. Thanks again not only for responding but for all the hard work you put into making videos. I'm a retired tv news broadcaster (NBC) and I know there's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes in making videos that few people know about, but I certainly do and I appreciate your efforts and this channel.
-Regards
You're very kind, thanks! Honestly, I appreciate my audience and am happy to pass it along!
How do you keep your palette stay wet to paint for.... days?
I normally cover it with clear plastic wrap between painting sessions. Adding a drop of clove oil into each pile of paint (while mixing) will also prolong the working life of your paint.
What's the oil and turns ratio Reilly used in his paintings
Sorry Paul, I don’t understand your question regarding “turns ratio”. As to oil: Reilly suggested his students use clove oil to prolong the life of their palettes. One drop into each pile while mixing, before placing it up onto the grid.
@@s.c.mummert6263 do you use oil and turps how much of each, or is it just paint and oil of clove to dilute the paint on the canvas
Oil to turps ratio or he painted with clove oil in the paint
Personally, I normally use a 50/50 mix of Refined Linseed Oil & Gum Turpentine as a medium. Hope that helps!
What Frank taught was to paint straight with oil of clove
Interesting Paul ... what was your source for that?
A friend said mix in and directly paint with it it doesn't yellow
I'm sure your friend meant well Paul, and others have used clove oil as a medium in the past. Personally, I'd never heard of Frank Reilly endorsing clove oil as a medium to his students.
Just to be sure, I contacted one of Frank's students (I've worked with three over the years) and he confirmed: Reilly used clove oil as an additive to the piles of paint, to extend palette life-not as a medium. Hope that helps!
