[@allshallparish5235]

I love how you challenge yourself in your pallets. I can feel the enthusiasm as it radiates. Helps the art block just to hear that energy.

[@JoseGonzalez-wq5jd]

Colors of inspiration is a weird one! would do a split secondaries thing if I had that one, maybe adding cobalt blue violet, a blue green, a yellow orange, a red orange and a few deep colors like sepia, perylene green, maybe a gray or buff. Something sort of like the Qor high chroma set.

[@michelleferguson7212]

I love how you have expanded on the palettes. The demos you shared of the earth with the clock tower was gorgeous.

[@redgeminiarts3674]

You’ve made me more intentional with the choices I make and what I purchase, conscious spending and organizing. Thank you for sharing.

[@rhondagdesignsrhondagwellm4337]

Love your art, the way you think about color, the way you express your thoughts.

[@lisablatt7287]

Happy New Year and thanks for sharing. I am a retired art teacher and Thanks to you I have kept up with my painting and card making and you have made me a better artist. Can’t wait to see what you create this year.

[@geminigirl68]

I love the way you approached this video! Especially the paintings contrasting the same tones! That Blues ocean is beautiful! It really helped to know why you chose the colors and your examples instead of just doing swatches. TFS so much!

[@alinamarcinkowska8317]

The colors in your new palette look so pretty! The old one was cool too, but some colors look better. Thank you for explaining why you used some of them. I want to buy some Daniel Smith tubes and now I have an idea what I could buy to make my palette work for me.

[@denaheck1506]

Fyi. Fugitive Opera is an excellent color for underneath painting. Adding quin Rose or a red or Quin coral dropped in, even Scarlet Lake. Adds vibrancy & glow. Carbozole which I think is also known as Dioxizine purple mixed with colbalt & ultra marine or phalo blue makes a vibrant night sky for a snow scene, & splatter of white guache. I tried Kyanite thinking the sparkles would be perfect night sky, but it dries dull & looses that night sky enchantment even with white splatters, its just too heavy. Loved your take on DS specialty palettes & your reasons to challenge yourself.

[@carolmelancon]

How cool that Ellen Hutson has your paintings on their website to show each palette's intention. So helpful compared to just swatches. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on filling out the pans in each.

[@tlembro]

Wow! Trying to set up my first individual palette....did not realize how difficult this would be! Thank you so much for your video and post on your site....was extremely helpful!

[@annm1048]

I just received the DS 238 dot card for Christmas. Now combined with this very informative video, I can't wait to play. I hope I can put together a great palette! I love how you did the pictures using each palette. You are such an inspiration, thank you!

[@Kitchensurprise]

You have been busy! Thank you for all your work. I am going to print these lists so I can reference them and build similar palettes 🎨. Beautiful sample paintings.

[@lynned63]

I love your ideas for different color palettes. I’m new to watercolor, so I hadn’t seen this idea yet. Thank you!

[@ellenschmidt3005]

This was a very informative video. Thanks Sandy! I've been going back and forth about getting the neutral tint; I think it will be added to my pallet. I appreciate your explanations about the various colors!

[@jumble3356]

I was just buying my first Daniel Smith paints to fit in a smaller palette and found this really helpful. I have the mission gold set but feel that I need to get some smaller palettes and learn to mix my own colours. Also want to try out some higher quality paints. I bought the DS essential set and bought some additional Winsor & Newton to round out my palettes. So thank you for posting your palette process. It helped immensely.

[@jenniefrench1338]

Yep they are great colors. I have them all and in their palettes. Love the colors. I use the nickel azo yellow to temper down my sap green. I was making my own sap green(phalogreen, quin gold, nickel azo yellow and ultramarine) but it is so nice to have it be done.Nickel azo yellow makes moody greens with Mayan dark. I do love to color mix. Great paint🤗

[@sheriwitthoft5895]

Thank you Sandy for sharing this process with us! And that you are aware and CARE that many of us are on a limited pallet for so many reasons. Thank you that you make learning fun and achievable. I can’t wait to get back to your classes in the new year.

[@TracyIndy]

Wow! Ive been a fan of yours for a few years and am thinking that you were fairly new to watercolors. These paintings are outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!

[@sherronrobinson6772]

Oh no! I just purchased transparent pyrol orange. Maybe I should have waited. I am just now starting to purchase the Daniel Smith paints as I have now discovered what all the fuss is about. I have other brands but oh wow about these paints. Thanks Sandy for all your advice. You do make these paints shine. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@SandyAllnock1]

It's still a good color! Only slightly more orange. Use it, you'll love it :)

[@sachamw11]

I LUVVVVVVV Green, I think it has so much mixing value, and I personally paint a lot of nature, so yeah

[@lilitincher4973]

Love your combinations and the postcards of examples you made! You are so talented and gracious. Thank you for sharing.

[@everartokelli]

Thank you, Sandy! This was such a helpful video. I have a lot of colors and palettes, but it can be hard to plan for different situations, so I really appreciate hearing your rationale and suggestions.

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

I am just committing to learn watercolor this year. Frankly, i don't really understand what you're talking about in this video - but i watched it. I will learn.

[@phillipstroll7385]

I love nickel azo yellow. It's the yellow I chose for my zorn because I can do more with it

[@liannallamavigil3354]

Thanks for all the details! It's funny because I tested electric blue and perylene green for the first time last night and decided I I really wanted them! Nice to see them in your palette!

[@jp8649]

I'm a big ol' noob and have had New Gamboge on my wishlist, but Nickle Azo!! Wow! Thank you! I'll be picking up that instead.

[@SandyAllnock1]

You might want both, but yeah. Nickel Azo! 💛

[@AmandaWiley]

I love the paintings you did to go with each color set! They were so inspiring for limited color palette paintings!

[@debbiebuttars5598]

I just want you to know how much I've missedyou during the month of December. Wow! I can't wait for more of your art and your sweet voice. And ... I'm going to be taking a watercolor class from you. I'm so excited!!

[@monicastickles9123]

Beautiful colors!!! Thank you for sharing, love these kind of videos.

[@donnadacy5876]

Oh my! So very many colors. Great ideas and so much information packed in this video. TFS

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

LOVE IT ALL!!! I’m grateful that you explained your choices, I look forward to seeing what stunning paintings you create!!! 🎨🖌✨💝✨

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Thanks so much for sharing all your new colors, they look beautiful together!

[@THEMAYQUEEN1]

Wow so much awesome lovely colour!!! I love your paintings for each palette 💕😀

[@MrsTiffanyGrey]

Thank you, Sandy!! Fun fun fun!

[@angelicamartacahyaningtyas9083]

Finally, a pretty pallet with generous space for blues and greens. It makes me sad seeing common palette full of warm colors, leaving only small section for blue-green.

[@bulletthebudgie7265]

Wow great video. Thank you so much. I'd love to get some of these but didn't know where to start and it was scary how expensive they were. I didn't know what colors would work for me to start, but these little sets of six seem great and not so expensive. I guess it's something that slowly builds over time. I've never used tube paints either. Always the ones in little pans from kids brands but want something with quality. I may get the blues since blues are my faves and the one you recommended for beginners. I like your big case too and have been looking into some of those.

[@jillf24]

amazing info- I am brand new to painting and starting with watercolors...this was so helpful!!!

[@sharw2789]

Thanks so much Sandy! I love a lot of the new colors you chose! I was looking at some of the pan palettes too. Great to see them all painted out. Im going to have to rewatch to see if there is one I am really wanting to add to what I have. I think I need a blank one honestly.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Ya gotta get the ultimate to get a blank one. Colors in that are my least fave but I need to spend some time seeing why Jane picked them. She knows tons more than me!

[@CardsBySharna]

Oh no! They should offer a blank one in general then. Guess I’m buying my own blank.

[@stacyamazedbylife7508]

Cards by Sharna, if you're talking about a blank box to build your new palette in, you can find them on Amazon (Meeden brand) very inexpensively. If you meant something else entirely, my bad! LOL

[@CardsBySharna]

Stacy Amazed by life thanks! Yes I somehow missed the blanks didn’t come with all the palettes so I was just hoping to get one of theirs. But I have more half pans than would fit in the empty spaces so I’m going to just get a bigger blank palette.

[@ngaireashdown6783]

Sandy, thank you so much for this great video and all the info. I have only started my DS collection and I love your large set of half pans. Off to check out you blog! xo

[@ArtistWizardry]

Great palette! Thanks for sharing. I love watercolor.

[@jenniefrench1338]

I thought I had every DS color needed until I tried and mixed transparent brown oxide with my basics. Oh my word!!!! If you can try it you won't regret it. I left out sepia. I use genuine bloodstone and the Payne's. Please try it. Wow we have very similar painting styles.🤗 Very nice video

[@SandyAllnock1]

Oooh nice, I’ll try it!

[@RRNavroth]

Thanks Sandy, this was very useful and much appreciated. Love this type of videos, in fact love all your watercolor videos and would love to see more of them. I do subscribe to you email and I see lots of multi-media which are fun and inspiring, but truly love the watercolor ones so informative and instructional. I use Daniel Smith watercolors primarily after watching your video, you explain the colors, how they paint and the best use of the particular color, LOVE IT :-). I also use Sennelier, Holiben and QoR, although Daniel Smith are the one I mainly use . Please up your amazing and wonderful videos. Thanks again

[@AnnaDescartes]

The Earth picture was gorgeous.

[@sylvia4425]

@10:30...I use that clear giant packing tape to "laminate" my color swatches. Or I guess you could just actually laminate it if you have a laminator machine? 😉

[@SandyAllnock1]

Yep mine is the poor woman's lamination! ha.

[@DAYbreaking_Ideas]

excellent info. thank you

[@joyfulldj]

mmm love the ds burnt umber moonglow raw sienna and quin gold. pv 19 is a keeper and my buff white is hidious lol

[@LaLa_ArtGal]

What a luscious video! Thanks!

[@cab552]

Yes! This has been very helpful! Love the color swatch hack.... love the simplicity! ;-)

[@carollippincott4699]

Thank you! I did or began my first bible journal! You give such encouragement!

[@denisekinsley3554]

Fun and informative video - thanks! My goal is for 2019 to be the year I finally dive into learning watercolor painting...

[@DoLallyCrafts]

Love the way the nickel azo changed to an almost gold colour when added to the purple/grey colour in your swatches. (Sorry missed the correct name of it.) I'm excited to try out my new Gamsai Tambi Watercolours my daughter bought me for Christmas. They look so pretty in the box, I'm kinda nervous about using them. It's been over 30 years since I did any painting at all. LOL Have a wonderful New Year, Sandy! I look forward to watching your vids in 2019!

[@SandyAllnock1]

You’ll like them! They’re a little opaque, but are good for crafting. 😍

[@onemig00]

Look for gansai tutorials or Chinese painting tutorials and have fun with them :)

[@WhiteMasterHand]

Nickel azo is a wow... thanks for the vid.

[@macCALICOmac]

Wish they'd bring out a palette with your name on it. Much like makeup palettes do.

[@memalus]

Wow! How did I miss his video?? This is just what I've been looking for. I have a few DS colors and wanted to expand but didn't know where to begin. You have made this very easy with such good information. Thank you! I love your videos about watercolor and your dogs!!

[@sfgcardsandcraft4571]

Hi Sandy, I love watching your channel. Can you tell me, the paints you said that have a "Grainy" texture, are the tubes marked as such, or what symbol should identify the grainy paints. They look great for painting rock, bricks etc. Many thanks regards Liz

[@SandyAllnock1]

The granulation is indicated with a Y (yes) or N (no granulation). But the amount of granulation varies widely between pigments.

[@glorioskiola]

Some great info, thanks.

[@ginistewart9636]

Love your channel!

[@anaa9777]

Awesome info 👍👍 Thank you ❤️

[@ArtsiRosi]

This is a GREAT video! Thanks for making it. Any chance you will be releasing tutorial videos of the little paintings you made with each of the small DS pan sets? Pretty please?

[@SandyAllnock1]

No. They’re done.

[@lechatbotte.]

Would be fun, to buy a small kit and put in just the colors you would like. Now I see others. I need to rob a bank LOL.

[@debbieanderson550]

Perfect timing on this video as my pallette is ready for a redo. Will any of the colors used in the watercolor jumpstart class change? I plan on shopping for those that I don’t have so I can sign up for the class. Has a very generous gift card from my sweet daughter for the paint!

[@SandyAllnock1]

I filmed while I still had the old palette - plus, you can do the whole thing with the 6 essentials, you don't need all my colors.

[@SusanMilligan]

Thank you so much, Sansy. I’m curious. Two years later and wondering if these colors and the DS brand are still your go to? I’m just now researching watercolor brands and color pallets so your video has been very helpful.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Yes I still use this palette and DS! I have a different set of colors for my fine art (new palette video coming in July) but I can totally recommend Daniel Smith.

[@SusanMilligan]

@@SandyAllnock1 Wow! That was a quick reply. Thank you very much, Sandy. I'm binge-watching your channel! Look forward to the July video.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Lol I just happen to be in the app right now🥰 I’m not usually this quick!

[@Rebeccacell]

Dang it. I knew I should have stayed with serpentine green! My son just went to the art store and bought me some paints. I was looking for colours that really work well for realistic foliage. I got undersea green and deep sap instead. It’s so hard to tell from the swatches and descriptions.

[@Rebeccacell]

But I’ll get them next time. This was great information!!

[@everartokelli]

Undersea green is a wonderful color for realistic foliage--it's a little warm for some areas, but adding a bit of blue or the deep sap green will make it very versatile, it's one of my favorite landscape colors. Add a lot of water and it separates into greens, blues and browns--less water and it's a great underbrush/grasses color and for adding dry brush over a colorful wash of florals. And the deep sap green is a lovely blue green for shadows and conifers. I've also been thinking of buying Serpentine (which is available in a affordable stick which works well cut off in a half pan) or Green Apatite to add to my landscape palette, but I think you'll love the colors you have.

[@Rebeccacell]

everart okelli Thank you !

[@SandyAllnock1]

You’ll be fine with the ones you’ve got. Okelli had good advice. 👍🏻

[@Rebeccacell]

Sandy Allnock yeah!!

[@phillipstroll7385]

Did you buy those Daniel smith palettes and when do we get to see a video of you urban sketching with them?

[@Roslyngal]

Kinda makes me giggle that the Ultimate Mixing Set is sold in a palette that you can’t mix in 😝! Also that there’s no pigment/name details on side of the pans? That was tricky when they’re offering 6 blues in one set. Daniel Smith do make some seriously weird marketing decisions, but whoever develops their paints and sources those amazing primatek rocks can’t be faulted. Still number one for me.

[@SandyAllnock1]

That IS a little weird; I think they didn't really expect us to USE these tiny palettes; when I talked with someone at the company they said they assumed we'd mix the pans in with our own, and they made inexpensive palettes so they could put the money in the process to make the half pans instead. :) Note on the colors - they're listed in order on the brochure tucked into the box. I marked mine with a pen in case I dumped it!

[@carolsodre7738]

👍👍👍

[@laurieparente3425]

Great video hoping to give watercolors more love this year. I'm curious as to why you called opera pink a fugitive color. It looks like from your color swatch like it would be beautiful for flowers. I have the original 6 started set as well as the 6 primitek set. Must add pink, purple, sap green and a few browns and grays. Hope you had a fantastic blessed Christmas.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Fugitive means it will disappear if it's left out in the light.

[@Roslyngal]

Opera pink turns a kind of dull flesh/tan colour in my tests (pretty consistent with others I’ve seen too). Some fugitive colours just fade significantly, some actually change to another colour (and change any area of your painting where you used them in a mix). It’s especially noticeable with Opera pink (and Aureolin yellow), because folks intend them as very strong bright colours (kinda neon!) but it can change to brownish in as little as 6 months in a sunlit area. Ok if you’re just splashing paints for fun, or working in a closed sketchbook or to photograph digitally (before it fades). Not ok if you intend to keep your work long-term, gift it for display or sell it. Hope that’s helpful?

[@laurieparente3425]

THANK YOU FOR THAT HELPFUL INFO. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN SO WELL.

[@weallcantbebeautifulpeople6677]

Do you worry about lightfastness? Do you sell your original art or just prints?

[@SandyAllnock1]

I don’t stress too much but I typically choose ratings of I or II.

[@SandyAllnock1]

And yes I sell my work.

[@carolgehman6036]

I know this was 2 years ago, but I just saw it now. Great video. One question. I've heard that moonglow is fugitive. Is this true?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Nope it’s a I on the scale.

[@Maureen97Designs]

Hey Sandy! I was just curious if you updated your palette for 2020? Thanks!

[@SandyAllnock1]

No I’ll be doing that in 2021 probably

[@lucyberger7625]

This is a wonderful video. Thank you. I wonder if you know of an alternative for Moonglow? Perhaps in Schimcke?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Nothing I’ve seen does what moonglow does, sorry.

[@phylliscampbell2325]

Do the watercolors move like this in your Bible journal? I know watercolor paper makes a big difference.

[@SandyAllnock1]

The techniques need to be differeyon bible paper...but they do work nicely. See my Bible Journaling channel for lots of examples. 😍

[@phylliscampbell2325]

Thank you. I have been watching and ordered your book and workbook. I look forward to trying watercolor journaling.

[@sollc1708]

Sandy when painting with watercolor do you use the rough side of the watercolour paper? What thickness do you prefer? Thanks

[@SandyAllnock1]

I use the rougher side. And 140lb. 👍🏻

[@MKathyONeal]

Hi Sandy. This is a very helpful video. I am wondering if I buy the tube paints and add to a palette, will they dry out? Can they still be activated if they do?

[@SandyAllnock1]

They reactivate with water 😍

[@MKathyONeal]

@@SandyAllnock1 Thank you!

[@sollc1708]

I forgot to say that if you use bottled water colours are brighter and less altered because of chemical substances that tab water may have.

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

Can you use rubbing alcohol in place of water to use on polymer clay, and other different medias???

[@SandyAllnock1]

Not a clue?
