Description: | oil paint across the surface CRE UNKNOWN; This paint palette is from the collection of James McNeill Whistler's artist's materials in the Hunterian Art Gallery. It is smeared with colour. Whistler usually prepared the predominant colours of a picture on his palette before committing anything to the canvas. This was an important part of the painting process. He warned his students at the Academie Carmen in Paris: "If you cannot manage your palette, how are you going to manage your canvas?" Whistler had learned this practice from his early French master, Charles Gleyre. Further palettes can be seen at 54146, 54147, 54148, 54151, 54154.
