The Babailov Palette
&  Art Supplies

     ver the past 30 years, I have shared the limitless possibilities of my limited-color palette and its color arrangement with my students and fellow professional artists and I am always delighted to see just how many artists have adapted it in the creation of their own works! ~ I.B.

About The Babailov Palette

This 8-color rainbow arrangement of complementing colors on my palette, was first introduced to me in my childhood, by my father, Valery Babailov, professional artist and teacher.
Throughout his formal university art education, he was taught and inspired by his professor of painting A.Kholmogorov, who graduated from the Surikov academy under V.Tsiplakov, the student of I.Grabar and S.Gerasimov, both received formal art education in the studios of Repin and Serov.
