This palette is fairly unlimited the only thing I have extreme trouble mixing is a rich magenta, which is near impossible so if you're planning on painting with magenta a lot, I recommend getting a tube of quinacridone magenta also. Try to look for different tones in your colors ask yourself questions such as, is it really just a blue, or is it a slightly reddish blue? If you're worried about which colors you might need, start off with an ultramarine blue, yellow lake, scarlet lake, burnt umber, yellow ochre, titanium white, cerulean blue (or manganese blue hue from Windsor and Newton if you're looking for a much cheaper artist's grade version I frequently substitute it for cerulean and notice little difference), and permanent alizarin crimson. Reference your subject by putting the palette knife with the color on it at the same eye level as your subject if the color is looking a bit too bright and you want a duller shade, add some complimentary to it. Mixing out your colors with a palette knife beforehand is incredibly helpful, as it saves your brushes a lot of wear and tear and helps you to get accurate colors in your painting. This is why it's a good idea to use a fast drying medium for underpaintings if you're doing one, such as Gamblin's galkyd gel.
Or, if you're using different mediums, such as liquin and linseed oil, go from the fastest drying to the slowest drying in this case it would be liquin, then linseed oil. For example, if you're painting with linseed oil, use less linseed oil in the paints of earlier layers, and add a little more for each consecutive layer. Just in case you haven't heard this very important note already when painting with mediums, always paint with your faster drying mediums first (or less of your slow drying medium), and transition to more fatty, slow drying mediums to avoid the paint cracking.

Once I found my feet, however, I was flying, and once you learn about the basic techniques, you will be too! When I started out I had no idea what I was doing, and was fairly aimless in my approach to painting. Do you find all of the knowledge out there about oil painting a bit intimidating? It can be hard to know where to start, especially when there's so many different techniques and methods of painting.
