Ohh that’s a gorgeous palette of colors!! I love 💕 them. Thanks for sharing this this process with us.

[@marjesmit8220]

Loved this! Love hearing why you choose certain colours and the recipes for colours. Thank you

[@margaretzee8162]

LOVE your swatching videos!! So informative!

[@PatGillin]

Amazing videos and excited to see them. Your gouache ones are so helpful to me. Approaching 90, I gave up oils and acrylics and thought gouache would be a perfect way to keep painting. Watercolor has been my main medium for years and with a new medium in mind I found gouache a bit daunting. I find your tutorials the most helpful. Your voice is very pleasant and inviting and you don't flutter or move your hands about while showing close ups of charts etc, as other presenters do. Most annoying. Thank you for taking the time to bring all the information which is interesting, exciting and easy to learn.

I’ve learned so much and appreciate the time you’ve taken to produce these limited palette videos! Thankyou!

[@kathymoffat761]

Yet another great tutorial, Sara, thank you for your informative commentary. X

[@Wendy8888]

Such a well thought out and personalized palette.

I love this palette 🎨! Thank you for all your hard work making this for us!

[@everartokelli]

I appreciate you sharing your landscape palettes. I especially like your custom Diopside mixes, I have it in my urban/landscape palette as a granulating alternative to phthalo green, but don't use it enough. Can't wait to see you use this palette in future videos!!

[@erikaweihmayer4793]

Would love an update!! I love this video so much and it inspired my current plein aire palette.. can’t wait to see what it is now 😊🎨💜

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

What a lovely selection. Thank you for sharing!

[@christicovington]

Yay! Thanks for making my morning! Great video!

[@belindahall5220]

It's funny that you rarely hear people talk about using limited artistic "tools" so that you learn those tools better! I definitely love limited palettes or artistic challenges for that reason, it's easier to 'understand' what options you have! I prefer limitations, it's like a puzzle. I spent weeks researching my first proper artist paints, and after using it for months it was initially so hard to figure out why when I tried using a new colour or set up a different palette that it just didn't "click" the same way! Ugh, I need to use my watercolours soon.

[@sandrapowers6099]

I love your final color palette 💕💕💕💕 I also have several of these colors,:There is one you don’t have on your palette…. Payne’s Grey! My favorite color.I use it in so many ways.

[@eharragan]

This was such a beautiful explanation, and I learned some new mixes I'd never considered. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I'm a big fan of yellow ochre too, and haven't tried the Schmincke version yet; might have to change that.

[@ruthballardart]

So beautiful and relaxing!

[@mydogeatspuke]

They don't do tubes, only full pans that are soft enough to depot if you wanted to, but I've found that the perylenes from Roman Szmal have almost no drying shift at all. It's the only brand I've found with this trait.

[@OtoKano]

Yaaasss Schmincke Ultramarine finest is (for me) the best commercially available ultramarine blue! I love that you pre-mix your colors and enjoyed seeing the custom colors.

Sitting here with a cup of coffee, watching my favorite artist do a favorite activity, making paint swatches, A lovely way to spend Saturday morning. Your videos are so calming. This was very informative, I never would have thought of trying lamp black as my neutral, I can see how wonderful it worked. I need to go see if I have that in my stash!
