I loved watching this gentle wander through all your various palettes, and hearing how or why you put them together. So interesting. I love the deep, deep light palettes, but also the regular everyday palette too. Thanks for letting us take screen shots- it's like looking at a candy selection❤

[@katerose8393]

I think if i owned all the watercolours you do, i’d just sit at my desk grinning at them like a loon and not doing any actual painting! That Kramer monochrome one, though 😳

[@user-dz7sq2um8d]

Haha! Me too! Your comment is so funny - I needed that laugh today! 🙂

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I do actually do that sometimes. 😂

[@margaretsmith51]

Great to see all your palettes, amazing colour choices. Thank you for sharing and making me feeling not so guilty with my collection.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you! We should never feel guilty (but I sometimes do too, so I get it!).

[@Sonora-ij8bc]

OMG, now I found someone else who does this! Maybe I feel a little less embarrassed. My grandfather was a Master Dyer for a textile company. I blamed him for my obsession with colours! I absolutely love the colours you have chosen. I have a lot of 'moody muted' colours also, but I like the Cyart metallic paints aswell. Thanks.

[@LeslieStroz]

Thank you for that visual delight! Your palettes are artworks in themselves. I could swim in them. 💙

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Leslie!

[@audreyredigolo7104]

Hi Natasha, I love your style. It inspires me immensely to do simpler drawings and play with colors. Thank you.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much!

[@sherryfurr9115]

I love the Deep Deep Light colors after seeing yours, so I ordered both of your sets. They have been shipped and I am so excited to get them. I wish I had paid attention that there was a discount code. There was a delay in shipping so I contacted the ladies and they went out of their way to get right back to me, to check with their couriers and to tell me what they found at 12:15 am their time. They are SO SWEET.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I hope you love using the palettes! The ladies who own DDL are lovely. :)

[@katienelsonartist]

Hi Natasha. I just want to say that I love your videos so much and as someone who’s wanted to start a channel for years, you have helped inspire me and give me the push to pursue this goal 🥰

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

This is so lovely to hear! Good luck with it all. :)

It’s like a watercolour sweet shop 😍… beautiful collection xx

Also that beautiful wooden box in the intro is sooo gorgeous!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I bought it from a man on Etsy who always has the most gorgeous antique and vintage pieces. I think that he said that this one was Edwardian.

[@kriksis]

@@NatashaNewtonArt absolutely gorgeous!

What a lovely tour! I think your night palette is my favorite. Such lovely colors. Thank you for sharing your collection. ♥

Yumminess 🎉 I love them all! Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@moma-b]

Thank you so much for sharing. Beautiful colors. Even just looking at them was pure joy. 😊

That's so lovely, thank you!

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

Another wondeful gift of a video,I love tge beautiful antique box you keep all your watercolor palettes in,and a bonus of a mini slie show of yoour stunning artworks. Your generosity is aamzing allowing us to take screen shots of your swatch cards. It's so great that your plattes inspire you to paint each time you open them,it shows that your gift for colours and aplettes means these are right. Great to hear why you chose the colours and what you use each palette for and how it helps yoy evolve your artwork. So fitting that you are an ambassador for deep deeplight paints. (matt) P.s I am thankful to you that I made the choice a while ago to anly use handmade watercolours,one of the best choices I have made as an artist and for my work,so thank you for that inspiration. Glad to hear you've really settled into using your sketchbooks which will also help you evolve your artworks too.I love the Kremer palette,it's so unique.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm so pleased to hear that you're enjoying the handmade watercolours so much, Matt! It's lovely to know that they've made such a difference to your art practice. I've been collecting antique boxes over the past year or so to store a lot of my art supplies. I'll have to share them all in a studio tour (I keep meaning to film that!).

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

@@NatashaNewtonArt thank you Natasha and updated studio tour would be amazing.I just added the Esse gold to my collection,it is a beautifully toned slightly antiqued gold.I never thought about a warm and cool palette,but think after this inspiring video I should create them as I can see the value of them.(Matt) P s I must admit I love antique boxes for storing my materials in as well,something about aged wood is so appealing.

[@ModernMetaphysicae]

Thank you for sharing your collection! I hate how we as creators have to do those little disclaimers these days - and yet people will still just yap in the comments about it. I love your collection. I collect them too - not as much as I collect Tarot Cards but Water Colors are a close second. I love color! Such a fun video and your collection is so well organized.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you! I just knew that if I didn't do a disclaimer that there would be comments about how I don't need that many watercolours, how I'm not a "real artist", how irresponsible I am etc. 😂

[@ModernMetaphysicae]

@@NatashaNewtonArt You are not alone. My channel is mostly about tarot, and I have been a long time and avid collector - the amount of nasty comments I get is unreal.

[@AshleyRebecca]

These are so gorgeous! This is also such a calming video. I think I will have to add this to my night time relax playlist.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

A lovely idea! Thank you!

[@Lesley22]

Ooo it's like christmas looking at these Natasha. I want to recreate them all 😅. I think I like your main palette best. I am using my watercolours much more now that I have separated them into a cool palette and a warm palette although I tend to have both open on my desk when I'm painting. Thank you for sharing xx

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I love the idea of having both a warm palette and a cool palette! So glad that you enjoyed the video, Lesley. xx

[@deeannafreshwaters3282]

Thank you for this lovely palette tour. I'm inspired to look at my own palettes in a whole new way.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

[@louisebourne5779]

Hi Natasha, lovely video. Oh my goodness so many lovely colour’s. I have a few handmade watercolours that I have been purchasing, I have a few Essee palette’s which I love so much I am so into warm/dark colours I prefer them so much more than bright colours this has changed since I saw the colours you use. I have the Senopia palette from A Gallo and I absolutely love them. I seem to be using the handmade paints more than the usual brands at the moment. I am definitely going to get some Deep deep light watercolours as soon as I am able too, they look amazing. I love the stickers you have on your palettes, the birds are just so lovely. Hope you are keeping well. Lots of love xxx🥰

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Louise! The Sinopia palette looks lovely (I just looked it up!). There's something special about handmade colours for sure. They often have an interesting texture, and the colours are quite unique! xxx

[@notesinthemargin]

I really loved this video, excellent sound and cinematography 🙌 The palettes are gorgeous too! Such mouthwatering colours! 😋🎨 The Deep Deep Light might be my favourite, because it contains the Natasha’s Grey and Starry Night colours that they created for you. The Peg & Awl case is a thing of beauty too, I love the chunkiness of the leather, it looks such good quality. On a personal note, I’m very glad that I put the extra effort in on sanding and staining the floor in your studio, as it makes an excellent background for your videos! 😁😘 xxx

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm forever thankful to you for making this floor such an aesthetic backdrop! 😂 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video. I feel like voiceovers are the way to go even if they sometimes take a ridiculously long time to record! 😘 xxx

[@Barbara-fy8cs]

A delightful addiction....so much fun; my husband thinks I'm crazy to want more.... maybe I'll consider some additional palettes...

[@msellenandrea]

Loved seeing these! :D I also need my paint in pans and easily available, or it won't get used 😂

[@ilonavandertang-vos2198]

I love your deepdeeplights palet. It's beautiful ❤

[@AuloriasArt]

I'm so jealous of your deep deep light collection. They're just beautiful. Maybe someday I can afford some.😅

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I know, I'm very lucky! They're beautiful paints.

[@maureenkyle3967]

Kremer Pigments has some outstanding metallic colours.. Star Gold, Pale Gold.. just the right amount of shimmer to not be too gaudy. ❤️❤️

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I've seen those and been so tempted!

[@firdyk]

Magical night palette looks magical

[@susosu6070]

As a very beginner, I do love all of your collection 😍❤ Thank you so much for sharing. You inspired me to have some “special palettes” for “special missions”. 😁 That’s a good excuse to get more paints! 😁

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm so glad! Thank you. :)

[@darleneblair5254]

Love the Deep, Deep Light!!

[@kriksis]

Such enjoyable video! I could watch it more and more! I also would love to see your entire watercolour paint tube collection and your traditional/ acryla gouache collection. :) A lot of them are beautiful!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

So glad that you enjoyed it, Kriksis! Maybe I should film the tube collection too (although many of the tubes are now in the palettes too!). The gouache video is a great idea. :)

[@TeaBird01]

All of them are lovely.

[@agneslanda7862]

Deepdeeplight is my fave ;-)

[@adriennejones2992]

I’m a big fan of Art Toolkit and don’t live far from them so it’s easy to get. I just used one of theirs to create a granulating palette with Schminke Horadam. It’s so much fun to make little specialty palettes.

[@beccascraps8141]

So fun!! I like the palette that only has 6 colors and they’re all very different. It looks like the perfect limited palette

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you!

[@emmahaslam1905]

You really have beautiful paints. If for any reason you would like to turn the lids of your Essee palettes into mixing wells you could paint them with acrylic enamel. ( for wood/ metal / plastic etc.) It takes a few coats but makes a decent mixing surface.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

That's a great idea!

[@veeroach]

Beautiful! I have a lot of palettes too. Right now I have limited A. Gallo palette called Signature 6 that is sparking joy.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

That's a great little palette!

[@jam4441]

Loved the dented additional palette.

[@JessKnowles-wj5os]

Officially jealous Natasha. I have lots of palettes...I am a colour junkie and they give me huge pleasure. I am off to look at Deep Deep Light..Time for a new palette!

I am intriqued before even seeing the palette / colors 😂 I have too many palettes already, and I was just about to put new one together but does I needs new colors still, yesss?

[@whatifitnt]

🤩 I love these palettes… I think I really need to go through my paints and do a little rearranging… 😂

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Exactly what the doctor ordered

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Sarah!

[@nattyw495]

I like your small tins with just especially the 6moon with gold. Your color choices are so close to mine i like the dark earthy colors also theres something about the colors that draw me in, i like your grays white green limited palette also do you have a video of you using only these colors in monochrome?

[@artofjesskarp]

Wow! What a collection! So much love and dedication to each set! Thank you for sharing :) Also a random question: How did you print out the custom labels for the watercolor tin sets :)? Thanks!!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Jess! I made them with a Dymo embossing label maker. They're pretty cheap to buy and I love the vintage look!

[@kellywest1032]

Gorgeous palettes! It is so interesting, tho, how much they all have the same mood (except the mixing palettes.) I really liked them but they are very opposite to mine bc I primarily paint florals!

[@awatercolourist]

I loved this tour! Thanks 😊.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

So glad that you enjoyed it!

[@Joan4me]

My favorite is the first one, I love granulating watercolors. I wish I could come up with a way to separate my colors into “named” pallets. Thank you, absolutely loved your video ♥️❤️♥️

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

So glad that you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@sherryfurr9115]

I need that many watercolor palettes!!! lol

[@FaithAnnNB]

They’re all beautiful for different reasons/purposes, how could anyone choose? 😊 Thanks for sharing them! Most of my palettes are either mixing palettes or by brand. Although, I love my gouache dried palettes and a landscape palette that I put together. I also have a granulating palette that I assembled, which is fun for the right projects.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I love the idea of the granulating palette!

[@kashfiahare3190]

Hello Natasha, I loved seeing your palettes and color choices! May I ask, how have the gouache fared in the art tool kit pans after many months? Sorry if others have asked this question many times, I have poured out gouache only for it to become crumbly and unpleasant to use. Thank you!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

It's faring pretty well! It has cracked, which I expected, but in general it's not falling out. Only a couple were in danger of falling out, but as soon as I used them more often, they kind of stuck together again!

[@kashfiahare3190]

Thank you for the feedback! I just purchased the travelers company golden Folio palette for dried gouache. Sounds like it’ll be okay 👍🏽

[@Karen-ng2st]

I so enjoyed this tour of your watercolour palettes, thank you. Can you explain what you mean by mixing palettes vs non-mixing as I’ve not come across the term before 😊

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you! A 'mixing palette' means colours chosen specifically for mixing with others on the palette to create a wide range of colours without carrying all of those colours separately. A simple mixing palette would contain two yellows (one cool, one warm), two blues (one cool, one warm), and two reds (one cool, one warm), but they can vary. I hope that makes sense!

[@Karen-ng2st]
