I have some tubes of gouache and a folio palette, but I've put off filling the pans because I know you're supposed to add glycerin so they don't crack, but I don't know how much to add. I love that you just went at it, made a mess, and yeah, it works!

Totally just go for it! I can tell you some pans got barely anything and some got a ton and they all work fine so it doesn’t seem to be a very exact science. Just plop it in there lol Thank you for watching!

[@ChantelleArts]

this is so satisfying, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺

[@ElaTell]

Oh I’m glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️

To fill mine I used a tape runner on the cardboard packaging it arrived in and stuck the pans to it. Meant I could fill them without holding them and they didn’t move around everywhere. They were easily removed from the tape after they had dried overnight.

[@ElaTell]

@@Sydney7768 that sounds like a great idea! I considered doing something similar - just letting the magnet hold them in place. But I wanted to be able to stir and then scrape them flat with the palette knife so I needed to have each pan away from the others for that

Black and yellow…subdued greens.

[@ElaTell]

Yes! That combo makes some pretty greens too

Thanks for this video! I learned a lot. I just ordered one of these art toolkit palletes from Spokane art supply. I had never heard of that company until recently. They have a very nice website. I bought the toolkit, and it comes with M graham paints….and was 44.00. I thought that was very reasonable! I’ve never tried that paint before either, so I’m very excited to get it!

[@ElaTell]

Oh good, I’m glad it was useful! And I’d never heard of that store before, so thank you for mentioning it. Looks like the m graham palette is already sold out! That’s a really great deal too because m graham paint is top of the line. Enjoy it! Not that I need it, but if it was still in stock I probably would have ordered it 😂

[@JessicaCEP]

I would probably make more of a mess with tweezers…

[@ElaTell]

😂 that would 100% be me
