I just use a cheap picture frame and I put toned paper inside🤷♀️It works amazing
i was thinking THE SAME THING. plus you can change out the backing paper if you using other stuff. for example black or white or grey. just pull off the back.
I’m going to do that, seems an easier process
Dollar Tree has glass cutting boards you can use or Amazon has Glass Cutting boards pretty cheap to. They are thicker and shatter resistant.
@@charitysketches same! They had a huge one and a small one that I got
and u cant cut urself on the glass
For safe edges just sand the glass edges (wear gloves). As mentioned below, cutting boards are a better idea because they're thicker and shatter-resistant. Glass table-tops are also a good option. Those are more expensive though. Other options: Heavy-Duty Aluminum foil (dull side) wrapped around a board and freezer paper (glossy side) taped around a table-top (for an extra-large palette). These are cheap and easily disposable. Saves cleaning.
if you cant be bothered finding/making a glass palette just put your paints straight onto your window !
Don't have any windows, only prison cell bars :/
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lmao
😂 😂
I used glass, then painted a 1/4 inch board and duct taped them together. This is more sturdy than a single layer of glass. I like your gold tape!
I think i'd do that as well...Accidents do happen and i wouldn't want glass shattering everywhere if it's dropped....I'd be happier still if the pallet was made of strong, clear plastic.
A lot of work! I Use an old glass cutting board, they’re thick and tough and you’ll find plenty at second hand shops.Useful tip is to place a piece of white/grey paper under ur glass board to see paint colours clearly, this also allows you to use both sides of the glass. The glass used in this video is just an accident waiting to happen.
this is true you can easily just taped grey toned paper on the glass instead, the rest is just a waste of time and paint.
Been looking for a easy DIY example of making a glass palette and yours was, by far, the greatest! Thank you!
Glad you like it! :)
Oh my God thank you so much I looked all over UA-cam to find out about the neutral grey tone at the back of the pallet nobody else tells you about it - probably seemed too obvious to them but not to me - thank you so much!
Thank you! The grey really is helpful! I purchased a tempered glass palette last year and it has the same grey tone on the back, so I’m still very confident in this homemade version, and still use them when I need extra palette space! :)
Little tip, when looking for a new palette don't go to the dollar store for a frame go to a garage sale! I got my palette for 50 cents! Cheaper than at the dollar store!
...and from old fridges you can get it even for free.
And plus, you help reusing something so it reduces waste too in a way
It's shatter resistant, too.
MY LORD...I love UA-cam. This is brilliant. And you are sweet honey. Thanks from a 62 year old new painter.
Thank you so much! And good luck with your painting, never stop!
I just made this and I love it! No more paper plates! ☺️
AWESOME!!!!! I'm so happy to hear that! 😊😊
I like this idea. I have an EXPENSIVE glass palette that I have been using for years- it has white sticky paper on the back but the white is not helpful at all. I peeled it off and then painted the back gray like you did but with each layer- the paint peeled off- I used Golden med gray tone. Washed the glass and it came right off. Now I am thinking I can put the palette on top of a piece of cardboard when I use it and paint the cardboard neut gray. Hmmmmm……gonna try.
Glass is dirt cheap at a hardware store. I got a huge sheet of glass to replace for one of my cabinets. Also it is safer to have the hardware cut it for you and round off the edges so you don't cut yourself when you work. Glass from a hardware store is also a better quality glass than glass from a dollar store picture frame.
It is so much easier to use a ceramic (wall) tiles. These are 8 inches X 10 inches. And it is more lasting than GLASS.
Wall tiles come in all sort of colour (and sizes). Yon can easily buy a warm-neutral gray, or white. No need to paint, and no need to protect it with tapes.
Great idea Thanks much!!
thank you very much, i use to do this too for my painting sessions, very useful!
Great idea thank you. On my way to the dollar store now
I use plexiglass,
Thanks for you’re idea!
i saved the protective glass from my big tv screen when i had to send the old style tv to recycling. I hope i can use that as palette.
Awesome idea! Thank you! It took me two times to get it even enough. I didn't make enough paint the first time...so I washed it off and started again. I added a bit of acrylic matte medium to extend the drying time the second time around. Looks awesome now. Thanks again.
Tim Koch wonderful! Isn’t it great? And the tape should help keep the pieces together in the event that it would ever break... I haven’t had any of mine break so far. Glad you like it! :)
Ha! UA-cam cracks me up sometimes... Glass palettes have been around for years. I've been using one since high school in the 80s...
Nobody said glass pallets were new 😄 She is just showing us younger artists how to make a cheaper glass palette.
Funny, I was just thinking about doing it that way. To protect the painted area, but also prevent it from shattering everywhere if I drop it.
I do think it would’ve been even better to first flip in the small flaps and then the big flap on the narrower ends.
By boyfriend said the same, but my logic was to have a finished edge on all edges instead of the raw edge of tape along an edge, but either way works! Thank you! :)
Just open the fridge and my eyes picked one of the large glass shelves, hmmm ...
Another easy solution would be to place a neutral gray toned paper behind the glass and frame it
Very nice 👍. Maybe I’ll just stick gray duct tape to the entire back and edges so I can eliminate painting the back side gray. Thanks!🥰
Just curious, could you just "frame" a piece of your pallet paper? I will have to try mixing on Gray, very interesting and I need all the help I can get lol
That's a very good suggestion and definitely an option, for sure! I personally prefer this just because it's less bulky--great for anyone doing plein air painting for portability--and it just gets in the way less than I'd imagine a framed glass would. Plus, aside from this glass I bought for the tutorial, this lets me make use of the left over glass after framing a painting. Totally up to you, the framing route would take less time for sure! Thanks for the suggestion and comment! Have fun creating/painting! :)
Not sure if I'm missing something or not but just curious if there's any reason why you can't just leave the plastic frame on your picture frame or document frame that comes with it when you buy it to help protect your fingers from getting cut on the glass?
Staring straight into my soul during intro
This must be for a portable palette that could also end up breaking and cutting you or others. Mine is stationary on a table next to my easel. I made it by just taking that same neutral grey paper and taped it to the back of the glass and taped the glass down to my FLAT table with ducted tape on the edges. Took about 5 minutes after I ordered the same grey paper palette she showed. no need to paint it. works great, I used two pieces for a 16x20 glass palette.
Woah! I'm speechless🤐😮 to your diy glass palette it looks presentable💙 , because me.. i'll use our glass plate😆
Thank you for this amazing tip! This is much cheaper !!! I am after a glass palette but on Amazon, they are charging 30/45 GBP.
Nice, thanks for sharing!
I bought a plastic deviled egg holder at the dollar tree, it makes a great pallet.
Very nice video, the only thing I do is use a foam board for the bottom for extra protection. You don't have to tape it completely except for the edges.
I also use Spray Paint for glass which is very easy as well.
Oh, I see. The reasons I like to do it this way are that 1) it keeps it nice and slim, and 2) the tape not only strengthens the glass a bit, but it holds onto the pieces if it should somehow break - although I’ve never broken one to date.
Love the tip .. Thank You ..
Lowes or any hardware is a diy painters best friend. You can have the specs and measurement written out, and have a hardware store cut the raw materials to build diy palettes, easels, brush holders and etc
This is awesome. Thanks
Super tip!Thanks for sharing this video 😁.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment! :-D
I was wondering if this works with acrylics because they peel off so easily and the peels might get mixed into the paint and make it chunky and hard to work with
Btw I loved the video keep up the good work 💞
I use a wet palate for acrylics. It extends the working time on the palette by days. Is also really easy and cheap to make. A quick search should lead you to numerous videos on how to build one.
Love this going to try it out. One question though. I tried using a glass pain from a picture frame and my paints dried really quick. Did I do something wrong or is there something I should be adding to the paints to keep them from drying out?
Thank you
Love it
This is so awesome and very helpful. Thank you very much!!! This is the first video that I've watched about making a glass palette and I am already satisfied.
Well made tutorial thanks a lot :)
Thank you! :)
Muy bueno!!
thank you so muchhhhh
Would a good middle grey spray paint work?
Yup! :)
This is ridiculously complicated for a thin piece of glass.
Go to your hardware shop and buy a 4 or 5 mm glass , sanded around the edges. That’s all, I’ve used mine for the last 20 years.
Cheers
i attached mine to a piece of foamboard that i painted a neutral gray using tacky glue
Safer to use tempered glass.
I use an extra glass block or a microwave tray from burnt out microwaves heavy-duty and no taping needed
My only picture frame is 3ft by 2ft... it'll have to do
👍
Do you use gesso
Thank you,that was a great ideal
Could I use a spray primer to make that kind off palette?
what about a laminate instead of a glass palette ?
I store my paints in a cardboard box and I usually just use the lid as my pallette lol
Thrift store: rectangular microwave glass
Magnífico.
I used foam board for backing and taped it with duct tape …. I didn’t paint the glass, I used grey paper.
I personally don’t like the shadows that are created from just using a paper backing, so that’s partly why I prefer to paint it. If you don’t mind it, then is perfectly acceptable - do what works for you. Everyone has their own preferences and that’s great!
She is Beautiful
Which part of glass did you use to tape? The one which you painted or the other clean side?
Painted side
Nice to know. Thank you.
🙂
niiiice
So I understand why you did a mid tone grey but can you do the same with a burnt sienna? The reason I'm asking is because I almost always do my underpaintings in burnt sienna and I was thinking about making two with both a mid tone grey and burnt sienna
Tyson Silvers Sure, you can do whatever colour you want to do. But burnt sienna is quite a warm tone, so many colours will appear cool in comparison; colours appear a certain way in relation to one another. That’s why neutral grey is suggested, because not only does it help to better judge lightness/darkness of your paints, but the colour temperature as well, leading to better and more accurate colour mixtures. In the end it’s up to you. One of each would help you decide what you prefer. ;) good luck!
@@TheCreativeGlow thank you for your response. I honestly didn't think about burnt sienna being warm toned bc alot of my painting are more warmed colored lol so when you put it that way I'm definitely more confident in doing my pallette in a mid toned grey
Awesome! Glad I could help! :)
i used a pencil colour metal case
Buy a piece of table glass and it will last a lot longer than a frame glass
What are other types of tape I can use for the back of the palette?
Duct Tape (or similar product) really is one of your best options since it is very sticky; if the palette happens to break, most of the glass should stay stuck to the tape even if it is broken.
Thank you. Saved me from buying one.
Why not 'Yard Sale' for an old microwave and remove the 'safety Glass' window!
Or, you know, you could just take a piece of plexiglass and use it as is.
That's cool😉
hmm this is not tempered glass and a health and safety issue. Would not use this at all . If you drop this , boy are you in trouble.
I love it but be real careful with those edges I cut myself
That glass is so fragile and could hurt.someone. The best glass palette is an old glass microwave plate from an old microwave. They are thick and less fragile. I've had same one for couple of years. Easy to clean
I’ve been using mine for over 5 and 6 years and haven’t broken either so far. The tape on the back adds a rigidity to the glass and will keep most of the pieces at least stuck together should it ever brake. I think with proper use, it is safe, but take caution, of course.
And I should add, I paint pretty much every day.
Why would you paint it when you can put the paper behind it?!
And most palettes are white… so a white paper behind would be the simple solution. 🤷♀️
This is a late reply, but here’s my reasoning:
I don’t like the shadows that using paper behind creates behind the glass, so I prefer painting it, plus is give it a more professional look, which I also appreciate… although once it gets mucked you from using it, that doesn’t matter anyway… that’s just me.
And you find paint pallets in white, sure, but if you look to many professional glass palettes, you’ll find many are neutral grey, and you can buy the disposable paper palette pad in neutral grey as well. This is what I choose for painting en plein air. You may feel that white is more common, but neutral grey is pretty well liked by many artists since mixing on a white background can make colours appear darker than you expect… and the opposite can be said if you’re mixing on too dark of a background, so the neutral grey is a really nice middle ground, and helps in mixing more accurate values. All that being said, if you prefer white, you prefer white and that’s perfectly good because it works for you, and that’s what matters. But that’s the low-down on the grey vs white palette. :)
The music is unnecessary, hard to listen to her explanation
great info. lose the music
😂😂😂 I thought she was a boy bc of her arm I did not see her into 😂😥😥
This isn’t actually funny. You should think about whether something might be hurtful to someone before you make a comment. Do you think you would like to have your perceived flaws pointed out and laughed at? I am a naturally dark haired person of French decent, which is likely the reason my arms have more visible hair than others, but is also likely the reason I have such thick, beautiful hair on my head.
@@TheCreativeGlow no I am so sorry I was just con surned but the vid I actually the glass paint palet actually work but btw I am so sorry
pushti patel thank you for your apology, I really appreciate that! Just try to keep in mind to treat others how you’d want to be treated from now on, right? Always be kind! I hope you did like the video and it is a great way to make your own paint palette! :)
Pushi you are a moron. I wouldn’t be picking on anyone with a gross face like yours.
Nice but next time try to be a bit more enthusiastic
Hm.. well, you know.. I think that's just my voice - sorry! Thanks for the suggestion!
your voice is great, and you sound enthusiastic enough! Enthusiastic about what? It's a palette. Thanks for the great explanation and visual, your work is perfect.
Perhaps you should try to be less critical, Isabelle.
Ouuff that sounded mean
