Thanks, Judita! We love getting feedback because it helps us decide what to do, next, in a video.// Wish us luck, we're doing a Merchant Booth in 3 weeks. Still deciding which tools and Historical Sets to take with us.

I have a question. Only interested in the Watercolor aspect. The question is, if I have a mortor and pestle, do I still need the glass and muller situation? I pretty much have a lot of stuff ready to go so far. DeAnna in Jenks, Oklahoma. ;-) Thanks Linda!

Hi DeAnna, We're back from vacation! (Thank you for your patience.) To fully disperse the pigment into binder and liquid, the glass palette and muller do the best job. Some pigments, like Alizarin Crimson, will "resist" being dispersed; it all depends on their mineral or chemical nature. I call the mortar and pestle a "mixing bowl", better suited to dry mixing your custom colors. You'll enjoy seeing me mix a discontinued W&N Davy's Gray and a historical Italian color- Cinebrese Rosa in my Blog videos. Enjoy!

I would know about your glass plate surface, it is rough or fine? please

[@AncientEarthPigments]

The glass palette is rough (ground). We have two versions of ground glass palette: 1) the smaller is Annealed- less expensive but still can be used if an edge gets chipped, this is better for light grinding (W/C, Gouache, Egg Tempera); 2) is Tempered: which can take the heavier mullers and more grinding pressure (oils, etc.), but it is a "safety glass" which will shatter into small pieces with impact. Our rounded, flexible palette knife works well on both surfaces. Thanks for visiting! Linda
