What is with the piles of paint?

If you go to 3:00 you will see his palette, which is a modified Ken MacPherson.  Though I suppose KM also uses a modified KM palette, with extra colors.

Looks like he has about 16 cubic inches in each bay, why so much, and how long would it last?  Why would one lay out so much at a time.  I think he uses Utrecht, so at least it isn't too costly...

Some artists don't clean their pallets but let the paint build up into giant heaps that they just keep adding to. I couldn't work that way but I guess it saves work.

oh dear,  that's a lot of accumulated paint.

I use a lot of paint, better to have more than less when you paint. I think that's unnecessary though. I usually scrape the remaining paint off  the palette when I finish and put it in a tinfoil container, then seal it with some cling film for the next day.
