Excerpt from What to Draw and How to Draw It

Here is a good list of colors for practical work. The first eight are enough for every purpose, but add, if you wish, purple and orange. Moist colors in pans are best. There are many different kinds of red, green, blue and brown paints, and as you may be puzzled and not know what to get, the names of the best hues of these particular colors are also given. The most useful paints in this list are yellow ochre, light red, Vandyke brown and Payne's gray. Learn to work with them, use them often and see the beautiful effects they produce. Delicate tints are made with thin washes of yellow ochre and light red. Vandyke brown makes a variety of pleasing tints.
