★ setting up my own watercolor palette ★

[@tharzanne]

Most tube paints will separate from the binder to some degree, some more/faster than others. If you notice a tube paint separates from the binder quickly, it is usually an indicator that the pigments in the paint are denser/heavier. For example, granulating watercolors will separate faster than non-granulating colors, because the pigment is heavier to allow for the granulating effect. It has nothing to do with the quality of the paint. You can just squeeze out the excess binder on a paper towel and your paint will be good as new! That being said, it might be annoying to use colors like that if you refill your palette frequently. But as long as you remove the excess binder before filling your pan and give your pan a good mix, that separation won't have any effect on the end result of your paint. Sorry for the ramble lol, I just wanted to let you know!

also helps to use a toothpick to swirl the paint around inside the tube, before squeezing the paint out, it usually helps for some ☺

Personally, i would just reccommend mixing the binder back in! Just getting rid of the separated binder could make the paint dry out faster in the tube. :)

You know I clicked on this immediately 😁 I was going to mention the situation with the binder, but tharzanne's comment covered it! It's annoying to have to stir them up, but they're still usable :) I'm looking forward to seeing this palette in action!

I learned from the best (you)! 😉

[@tharzanne]

The finished palette looks so beautiful!! I love freshly poured paint and for some reason the clear pans make it look edible

[@CreativaArtly]

I loved building my own palette. It was so much fun.

[@jaidadraco]

I am very excited for the follow up video of seeing the final, dried palette, testing it, and making some art with it!!!!!!

[@Snowmouse]

I love palette building videos soo much! This was lots of fun and it was super cool seeing your colour choices! You're a brave soul for opening all those tubes over and over again, I definitely would not have been able to handle it

[@kathyhackney7950]

The Arteza gouache imo is actually really good as watercolor (better than the watercolor)

[@lukamotel]

thats kinda hilarious

[@sophia_jo]

This process was great to watch!! I'd love to see how this palette works out when used in a painting!

[@JRose-zk1ni]

What a wonderful video - gosh!! All the colours are blowing my mind...and in a good way 🙂. I love your water dish too! Where did you find her? I love the idea of having to dishes stuck together...a nice little game changer!

[@kellyh4344]

I believe it’s made by Meeden!

[@JRose-zk1ni]

@@kellyh4344 thank you 😉

[@myyoga8spa]

To me, the swatches you took was art on its own, very satisfying 🥰

[@cupcake32009]

I have that same galaxy pallet from Meeden, and that pallet is my baby lol. I use it every single time I do a painting.I have had it for 3 going on 4 years now and it is holding up very well.

[@katdarling]

Watch out making watercolor palettes is addicting

[@mekagooden4915]

I enjoyed it. I just went thru this taunting task as well. I can’t wait to see it dry and please post a video of you using them and making art with your new pallet!!

[@saltedsnail9396]

so excited for this !

[@alinatr2693]

You can use little magnets for the row in the middle of the galaxy pallette,I have the same but the little one,I use It for my schmincke forest and shire set☺️

[@ChantelleArts]

such a gorgeous palette, you are such an inspiration ☺☺☺

[@adrianibarra8758]

my fav part was when you slayed ❤

[@Lilstarnerd]

made me laugh out loud, thank you!!!!

[@cheesecube420]

Love this!

[@JRose-zk1ni]

What a beautiful palet you ended up with!!! Gorgeous colours!!! So, why do you have to wait until the paints dry? Don't they have to be wet? ( I'm VERY new to art so this is probably common knowledge that I'm not aware of yet..lol).

[@Lilstarnerd]

they CAN be wet, which is why the come in a tube!! but i specifically wanted to make a pan palette, and those are dried little pans of watercolors that you can rewet!

[@JRose-zk1ni]

@@Lilstarnerd Ohhhhhhh...lol..Okay..gotcha!! Thank you!!

[@KimoyaFTW]

my hands hurt just watching you lol this looked like so much work but it ended up looking great at the end!

[@alinatr2693]

I started to make a mixing chart with 14 colors of my A.Gallo watercolors and realised that I had to fill 196 squares💀🫠
