WATERCOLOR Palette Setup | Step by Step!

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!

I just subscribed a few days ago, and got my first watercolor palette yesterday. This was meant to be.

14:05 Instead of styrofoam to fill the gaps between the pans, you could use a silk sponge to dry off your brushes! I love using the one that came in my Winsor and Newton professional watercolor palette ❤

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

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..

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you! As a newbie to watercolor I had no idea what to do. Your palette and swatch card are beautiful. 😊

Hey can you do more filling page of sketch videos, i really love watching those!

4:00 It seems like you could use a buffing compound to remove the shininess and prevent water from beading up, but yeah toothpaste is works aswell.

Those last 2 mins were the most therapeutic ones!! 😍 I just got my new watercolour tube set, and I was wondering how make it last longer and cleaner, this was definitely an eye opener!! 😍😍😍😍

This was awesome. Thank you so much. I’m just transferring from student grade to professional grade paint and am excited to set up my new pallet. Great suggestions. Thanks

[jennifervallot]

Thank you for the pallet prep tips. I have a purchased pallette that I can take the shine out of to stop the beading. Didn't know to do that. Thanks. Also thanks for the brand suggestions for quality paints and papers.

The 24-half pan palette can actually house 26 half pans for a snug fit (not counting the space in the middle because I use it to store my brushes). Great video!! ❤❤❤

Wow that marble one, I love the marble touch and the color of that😍😍😍

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.
