Herring compact palettes - Whole pan and Half pan models

I've used these palettes for over 10 years and really like the compact design and terrific mixing areas. They are very flexible in the way you can set them up with space for a brush or pencil, or for more colours with a couple of little 'hacks'.
I use the Half-pan model for my travel sketching palette and the Whole-pan model for my Gouache palette.
I've written about it in my blog janeblundellart.blogspot.com/2013/11/watercolour-palettes-1-herring-palette.html and in the Palettes section of my website (under the Resources tab).

This is the third in this series about pigmented pens. There is more information about them on my blog too, (janeblundellart.blogspot.com/2024/04/pigmented-felt-tip-pens-for-writing-and.html) with links to the various websites. There are, of course, other brands I haven't covered. Feel free to add your favourites to the comments.

UniPin Fine Line pens come in a smaller range of colours than the Pigma Microns, but a greater range of pens sizes in black. These are a popular choice for Manga and Zentangle projects too.

Galen Leather Co

I wanted to share some products that I have bought and loved from a terrific company, Galen Leather Co, who make Journalling and Writing supplies. Founded in Turkey in 2012, they started out making a simple journal cover, but have increased their range of leather, brass and wooden products to include items to appeal to anyone with a passion for writing.

Sketching on location Tasmania

Переглядів 1,3 тис.9 місяців тому

I filmed a fragment of my time in Tasmania, which is the island state in the south, below the east of mainland Australia, and where I was born. I spent two weeks on holiday with another 4 people, a car and three motorbikes, exploring the fabulous winding roads and spectacular scenery. It wasn't a sketching trip - though I would love to do that one day - so I only took a small set of supplies wi...

Cleaning watercolour brushes

Переглядів 2,2 тис.9 місяців тому

Watercolour is very gentle on brushes, compared with other paints like oils or acrylics, but watercolour brushes still enjoy a bit of TLC every now and then. I suggest giving your watercolour brushes a proper clean and condition a couple of times a year, or perhaps once a season. All always, it depends how often you use them. You may like to give them a good clean after a painting is finished i...

16 colour sketching palette

Переглядів 9 тис.10 місяців тому

This palette has a few different names, including the 'Airtight Watercolour Palette' from Mont Marte. It is an inexpensive well-style palette, so the paint is added directly to the wells, rather than needing watercolour pans or half-pans. This gives really great brush access. I fill the wells just in the deeper end to leave room for single colour washes within each well too. I set this one up a...

Tiny silver matchbox palette

Переглядів 1,1 тис.10 місяців тому

This is another little palette hack - this time I started with a silver matchbox from the early 1900s. I've used the tiny pans from www.arttoolkit to fit 12 colours into the palette. I could use a sticker to create a white area for mixing - the 'Apple' product stickers work quite nicely! You can see more about palettes on my website here www.janeblundellart.com/palettes.html Please note - the s...

The daisy-like 'Aquarelle' palette

Переглядів 2,4 тис.10 місяців тому

I've used these palettes in many of my videos and had many questions about what they are and where they can be found. They are from Australia. Here is little more about my fellow Australian Watercolour Institute colleague, Malcolm Carver's, 'Aquarelle' palette, which is available directly through his website www.carverstudio.com. While it was created as a painting palette without any mixing are...

I published a version of this a few years ago (in 2019), with 9 colours and no commentary. I've added more greens and a bit of an explanation about each of the greens I've choses to focus on. This is the full version, shown at normal speed. Please note - it shows the previous versions of Sap green and Undersea Green. The updated versions can be seen on my blog here janeblundellart.blogspot.com/...

I'd drawn, etched and painted bird of paradise flowers, fresh and dried, since I was a teen. I love both the colours when fresh, and the gorgeous linear nature and earthy tones of the fried flower. This is a video showing the process I went through creating this painting/drawing on cold pressed watercolour paper, with fountain pens, waterproof ink and watercolour.

Antique silver palette hack with Daniel Smith watercolour sticks

I create watercolour palettes using all sorts of found objects and have shown a lot of them on my website here (www.janeblundellart.com/palettes.html) I found a video I'd made a while ago of one of them that may show a little more information. I'll create others if they are helpful :-) This was a cigarette case from the early 1900s - I don't know the exact date - that works well to hold 19 (or ...

Mastering Watercolours Course overview

This is just over 3 minutes to give an idea of my online course 'Mastering Watercolours', one of 4 courses available. This is a great foundation course for anyone interested in learning or better understanding watercolour. It is 13 Lessons, the first being a huge lesson about materials. I've been teaching this course for many years in person. I created an email version about a decade ago, then,...

Focus on Blues

Переглядів 10 тис.11 місяців тому

There are a number of the different Blues available. I don't use very many - generally Ultramarine as a warm or purple-leaning blue; Cerulean Chromium as a cool or green-leaning blue; Phthalo Blue Green Shade or Red Shade as mixing blues; and sometimes Indanthrone Blue or the lovely granulating Primatek blues from Daniel Smith for special effects. Many I have shown here are difficult to get hol...
