I'm glad you like it. Thanks for being a Studio Insider member.

[@coltwarren]

Thank you Dianne. What a lovely Saturday surprise. I can't get enough of colour mixing :)

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

It is invigorating, isn't it. We're planning an occasional Saturday surprise as a thank you for all the support we are getting.

This was so interesting...I've been watercolor painting for 12 years and have changed my colors many times...this has really helped me....thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching.

Always learning from you. Thank you. 💜

You bet.

[@derekfernandez7701]

Thank you so much Dianne! So great to see you working with watercolour! 12:04 it was amazing to see how you mix so many shades of yellow ochre this way - I've never thought of it this way - a desaturated yellow! Thanks again💙

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You are so welcome! Enjoy the journey!

Thanks!

My paints are mostly Daniel Smith and QOR. I love, love, love the QOR for vibrancy and movement, especially when utilizing them for wet in wet. Mijello Blue is a convenience color I find fascinating and fun, and Holbein's Mineral Violet is a favorite. I wish I'd known how many colors were the same, brand by brand, when I first started, you know, by actual pigment. (I'm looking at you, Winsor and Newton.) W&N make a perylene maroon and a permanent rose I buy only in that brand, as I like the hue, & they're significantly different from the others.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Don't you know the old masters would have totally gone wild with the selections we have today.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I can't imagine their excitement, especially with how "transportable", (if that is even a word), our supplies are now! 😊

[@mariegamber]

Thank you Dianne for sharing your palette. I just fell in love with cad orange gradated with cobalt. I hear you may be removing them. What will you substitute for the cobalt? Will the yellow with cad scarlet sub for cad orange? Thank you for offering watercolor tips. You the best!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks, Marie. I haven't moved them yet, but the yellow orange that I will keep combined with a bit of cadmium scarlet will give me orange. AND it will give me the ability to get that orange redder if I need to, or more yellow if that's what I want. Cobalt might stay there for a while because of its tendency to lean more opaque. Stay tuned...

[@mariegamber]

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thanks Dianne for your great explanation. I will likely change mine out too. I like to keep my palette like yours.

[@delaneybeckman5248]

Thank you so much, Ms. Mize! I love listening to you teach! My grandmother was an art teacher in East Texas before she retired; your way of speaking and teaching brings back fond childhood memories of her guiding me on how to use oil pastels! It's very calming and has inspired me to pick art back up now that I'm in my twenties. :) You may have mentioned this and I didn't hear it. If so, I apologize! Would you happen to have a palette setup for gouache or acrylic gouache? Because of the nature of these paints-- particularly acrylic gouache-- is it impractical to have a palette set up in the first place? Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you are well!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Delaney, since gouache dries so rapidly, it is best to set up the palette of colors just before beginning a painting session. May I refer you to James Gurney who does a lot of his plein air studies in gouache. Just search for him on KZbin.

[@delaneybeckman5248]

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you, that is incredibly helpful! You have likely saved me from wasting a lot of paint! I will definitely check James Gurney out. Thank you for your time! I hope you have a wonderful day and look forward to your next video. :)

[@kleinekuenstlerin7717]

Thanks a lot for your advice.👍🏻😊 May I ask why you choose Viridian over Phtalo green blue shade.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thalos have a very high tinting strength, making them difficult to manage. The Rembrandt Viridian is very close in hue, transparency and value to thalo green so works beautifully as a replacement for that color.

[@letajones8556]

Dear Dianne. I am watching your video again!!😀 What do you use to replace the Cobalt blue? Thank you

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Leta, I use ultramarine blue. I keep a tube of Cobalt in case I need it, but I rarely reach for it now, so I see no need of keeping it on the palette.

[@letajones8556]

Thank you for the answer...Leta from Texas 🤠

[@jayashreeshenoy1166]

Thanks for the video. Can u please make a video on concept art and how to go about it ? Thanks.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

We have one coming up on October 13. Stay tuned.

[@alfalasi_art]

Dear dianne , I heard a lot about controlling color transition, and dealing with edges, would you kindly make a tip about it . Thank you

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Yes, I will put this on our schedule, but it will be December before it appears because we film these several weeks in advance.

[@moma-b]

How can you drop cerulean blue? That color I use for the sea and sometimes for the sky and I also mix it with viridian to get the turquoise-like colors. 😯

[@mrsnrub9780]

I don't really have a set palette at the moment. Currently I'm going through a phase of using Dioxazine Purple as my mother colour and (for some reason) I've kicked out ALL of the tubed blues, and instead, use purple with green to make my blue. It's basically a pointless exercise, but I was just getting SO bored of looking at the same primary palette everyday. I think I'm just one of those people whose palette is going to change by the week, depending on what tubes I fancy. It'll be the same destination, just a different train to take me there. (Raw Sienna has to go permanently though, the smell of it is just too much.)

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

A palette is only as interesting as its potential.

[@mrsnrub9780]

[@kleinekuenstlerin7717]

Have you upgraded your palette in the meantime? May I ask to give us an insight into your latest choice of colors in 2024 if there have been changes. You said you wanted to see which colors are going to stay on your palette and which colors are not.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I am referring to my watercolor palette here. Currently, colors which live on it are Daniel Smith Sap Green, Holbein Viridian Hue, Winsor Newton Antwerp Blue, Holbein Ultramarine Blue, Daniel Smith Carbozole Violet, Daniel Smith Quinacridone Violet, Holbein Carmine, Winsor Newton Winsor Red, Winsor Newton Cadmium Scarlet, Daniel Smith Quinacridone Burnt Orange, Holbein Cadmium Yellow Orange, and Winsor Newton Winsor Yellow.

Thank you. What is the name of the actual porcelain palette you have the paints squeezed into please? It looks like it has good sized wells for larger brushes

[@lunadargent5292]

I think this might be it Jack Richeson Tom Lynch Porcelain Watercolor Palette I found it at Amazon

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Kaz, it is the Tom Lynch porcelain palette.
