Art Toolkit Folio & Demi gouache and watercolor palette set up: Holbein & Daniel Smith & Maimeri Blu

[@dees3179]

It’s so nice to see you just do this and not be all precious and neat and aesthetically pleasing about it. Much more realistic and relaxing to watch. My fingers would be even more stained. I’m currently covered in black ink and silver wax……. Thank you for being you and for being one of us.

Thank you! I was worried it’d stress you guys out with all the mess 😂 And you sound just like me, I’m constantly covered in paint and half the time I don’t even know where it came from. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I just bought Art tool kits. Appreciated your demo of the two Maimeri Blu sets because I hope to store those paints in the demi art tool kit. Your demo will be most helpful! Thank you so much!

[@ElaTell]

Oh good! And yay! That demi palette is the cutest. And you’ll love the paint, it’s such good quality ❤️

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

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

[@ElaTell]

Oh I’m glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️

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!

[@ElaTell]

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!

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 😂

Black and yellow…subdued greens.

[@ElaTell]

Yes! That combo makes some pretty greens too

[@JessicaCEP]

I would probably make more of a mess with tweezers…

[@ElaTell]

😂 that would 100% be me
