    In this video I share my watercolor palette setup along with with 5 Simple Steps to do it yourself! I love going painting and urban sketching so I wanted to share a palette with my favorite colors from Daniel Smith, Schmincke, M.Graham and Sennelier. I go over my favorite art supplies and painting supplies as well as my color choices and show each pigment in a swatching color chart! I hope you find this highly requested video helpful :) Enjoy!

    Sometimes pouring the pans in 2 halves and letting the first layer dry out before pouring the second layer stops cracking in the paint. Some don’t crack but some paints get a giant fissure down the middle where the water goes in. In a humid climate this can be a place for mould to grow

    You might want to substitute Graphite Grey for Ivory Black. It mixes with your other colors and makes for a really interesting granulating color. It’s also great to use for tonal studies, along with soft pencils.

      One thing I would recommend that she didn’t mention in this video is that if you use one of these kinds of palettes (the ones that have metal tabs to hold the pans), I highly recommend slightly pushing in the tabs before clicking the pans into place. It will hold them in place much, much better and will help prevent pans from falling out if you accidentally knock your palette.
      Good luck with your watercolor journey! It is such a fun medium to use :)

    oh gosh, so I'm going to hold a lecture about watercolors beginning of 2023 (it was supposed to have happened early this week, it's december 2022) and this made me realize I would have forgotten entirely about transparency and opaqueness, smooth colors and granulating ones etc, like the whole basics!
    I was so unsure about which watercolor things are generally interesting and which are only interesting to me that I completely forgot newbies to watercolor might want to know about all that stuff..

    This was the best example I found so far. Very great advice about creating the small color chart that goes right in the tin. I watched another one which placed small magnets at the bottom of the little pallet boxes to help them stay in place. I think that’s a very good idea that I will add to my process. I am still figuring out what colors I need. I am be using the Daniel Smith dot chart of all of his colors to create color chart to determine what colors I want to choose. I have the tin that you use in this example. I know it’s gonna take a lot of time but I am really excited about doing it. Thank you for the advice.

    • @muskndusk

      I put a tiny touch of blue tack on the bottom of the pans to keep them in place. With the type of palette shown in the video, the little metal parts at the top and bottom can be folded slightly inwards to secure the pans too.

    Another way to prevent your pans from moving is to tape magnetic tape at the bottom of your half pans. This makes sure they don't jiggle around and it prevents them from popping out (though it does make it harder to push them under the metal tabs, but those are less necessary with the magnets); would definitely recommend this for any palettes you'd throw around in your bag. Your palette is beautiful!

      @@artofjesskarp Hi, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the watercolour metal palettes are actually designed, so that the half pans don't move at all. You just have to bend the tiny metal thingies (those along the metal track), not much just a bit, and then you pop the half pan (the side without the bent metal first) and then you push it down a bit - till you hear a click. And it's secured. :) if you want to take it out you just unbend the metal thingie. I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere on youtube. So there is actually no need for either magnetic tape or the sponge :)
