The color palette that I use varies widely depending on a given fantasy art doll that I'm painting. With humans you have a wide tonal range of flesh tones, but when you're painting fey, goblins, or other mythical creatures, there's really no limit!

To paint this art doll, I used the following color palette:
- Titanium White
- Yellow Ochre
- Venetian Red
- Raw Sienna
- Chromium Oxide Green
- Cobalt Blue
- Raw Umber
- Cadmium Red Medium
- Alizarin Crimson
- Phthalo Blue
- Dioxazine Purple
After a few color studies, I decided a pink, chocolate brown, and maroon color scheme was the most interesting for me to make the Krampus art doll. You can see the design process here.
I quickly played around with some color schemes in Photoshop and my favorite one was the one on the far right.
