It never ceases to surprise me when YouTube content providers say that they get negative comments. I just don't understand the need to be a downer to someone else's joy....Thank you, Sandy, for this video! I'm ALWAYS interested to see what other people have in their palettes. It often gives me ideas for MY palettes. ❤

The most value I got out of this video is not the specific choices you made, but your reasoning behind why you made the choices you did. Made me think about more than just value.

Such a wonderful video! Now, let's all take a moment of silence for the colors leaving the island... 🏝

Wonderfully informative video, Sandy! I love your experimentation. Thank you.

Go girl! Thank you for sharing - I’m still trying to figure things out - so much to learn

[anitautheimhansdatter]

That ultramarine turquoise is absolutely gorgeous !

A aha moment for me! Your comment about ‘Learn your colours without many to choose from’. Thank you thank you thank you. I keep buying a pan here and a tube there from different brands and have landed up with too much and now I am overwhelmed. thinking I need to use them all and end up even more confused with what I love, how something works and how a pigment and me can stretched..or limited as the case might be. Seriously thank you. Been struggling so much not with the buying but with the confusion the buying is creating in me.

You can't undo learning, only add another piece! 😁 Delightful video, my first of yours. I have signed up, and look forward to perusing your playlists!

Best advice: when you said to watch the person paint with their palette choices rather than saying that’s a terrible choice. Looking forward to seeing your paintings from this palette. I’m familiar with the colors on the left but a few on the right side are new to me.

Thank you for this particular video. I returned to painting in my late 60s and have been working towards finding my “voice”. It seems I have been instinctively working towards a palette I am comfortable with (curated! it would seem) the last year. I will further refine with the warm and cool for the colors. Thank you again. I’m subscribing!

I've just subscribed based on this video! There is so much value in Intellectual discussion and testing on colour theories. Loved this and I watched because I had just completely scrapped a certain brand of colours and rebuilt my palette, much simpler and smaller.

Wow, love the House of Hoffman palette. Worth every dollar if you ask me. And that Sandy Allnock stamp at 2:45, where/how does one acquire such a magnificent piece? By chance do you have a video about it?

I love exploring new combinations so I keep colours in pans and then put them in small pallets for a short period of time to do a few pieces…..almost at random. One of my most unexpected successes and which I’ve retained ever since through several refills because I always go back to it is a six colour pallet that consists of:
French ultramarine, burnt sienna, phthalocyanine turquoise, carmine (or a similar strong dark pink), Naples yellow dark (or yellow ochre) and buff titanium. When you think about it, it’s two different blues, two sort of yellows, a red and then the titanium. It works really well as a muted palette for anything outdoors, old buildings and landscape elements and for people sketches. The turquoise and carmine give great pops of bright colour if needed but are easy to mute to get harmonious pictures. You can get greens from mixing and a delicate pink or blue from diluting. I don’t do city drawings so it might struggle there, but anything natural it’s a good pallet.

This is SUCH an informative video on how to choose colors for your palettes. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[lindathaxton]

Thank you - informative & useful for me 🙏

I bit the bullet and invested in a set of Windsor Newton professional paints. That's going to be my 2024 palette, but I also have a good back up and several practice paints from Rosa Gallery.

I'm good to go on paints and palettes.

[igemdiva]

Oooo super excited to see how you use these new colors bc I have so many of these! I would love to see how the hansa yellow light mixes with the three different reds to get different corals and oranges. I like orangey peachy coraly hibiscus and roses. Im mentally preparing myself for getting back to painting next month. Idk why I have to mentally prepare for being free but dat my brain🙃😂

[tynaheadrick-phipps]

I absolutely love your hair, including color and style🥰
