The Little Brass Box Roberson Watercolor Palette

[@brianashmorestudio]

What a beautiful palette! Congratulations! I don’t have a Little Brass Box Roberson but I own a Craig Young box that is very similar. It’s a great feeling to own something that, if taken care of, will outlast me and never rust. Mine is holding up well. Although, I do find myself “babying” it. 😂

[@watercolorpour]

It is a special feeling to open and use it. Coming from humble beginnings to have such a paintbox is very appreciated 💛 so happy you have one too, I will have to look up the Craig Young ones to see

I’m in the FB group with you! Hello! I saw this posted there and wondered who bought it. Just gorgeous! I use La Petite Palette for my handmade brass watercolor boxes. I also buy Etsy custom made 3d printed pans that fit into the spaces in my brass palettes if I want more colors or if I am not sure about a color. I get pans divided in 2 also. Love your video! 🎉 See you in the group.

This palette box is gorgeous but your swatching and mixing these gorgeous colors and encouraging us to explore our paints was the best part. Lovely way to explore. ❤

[@watercolorpour]

Oh thank you! Your comment really made my day! You made an artist smile! 😀

[@creativespark7371]

I absolutely love the colors you chose for this palette. I only have a few of these colors, but I am inspired to pick up a few of the others you have. They are such different colors and I don't typically see people using most of these colors on their palettes. This is a very original (and BEAUTIFUL) palette setup! I would love to see the mixing power of this palette one day!

[@watercolorpour]

Thank you! So excited to paint with them!

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

I absolutely love your color selection and would really enjoy seeing you do a painting with those

[@karendurston2528]

I would also like to see a painting with those colors. Enjoyed this!

[@karenpulver3004]

How exciting! A little brass box is such a treat! Would love to see a painting with your colors

Hi Karen, thank you!

[@NancyTipton-u8e]

Wow! Those colors took my breath away! Thank you so much for keeping me inspired to keep painting!😊

I'll add the brass palette to my "when I win the lottery" shopping list. Beautiful colors Buffy. I may have to order the Quin deep gold.

[@watercolorpour]

It is really lovely color, you can see the mix with the Chinese White in my abstract painting video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIXFoqR9YshpfsUsi=gZzA6KgLBb8TP0Kl

[@lisamorgan9257]

I saw that on Facebook- so happy you got it❤

[@watercolorpour]

Yes - the discount helped me to finally take the plunge - love the color, it’s pinker than it looked on the FB post. Really pretty 😍

We all wish someday for a Brass Palette.

Lovely. Congratulations!

Great video Buffy....😊❤😊

Thank you! I was just thinking of you this week! Hope you all are doing good! Give my love to MWS

[@pamelaburns1081]

Gorgeous. It’s a painting unto itself

[@watercolorpour]

Thank you - it has inspired me - love playing with colors

[@paulfogarty7724]

Oh you're SO lucky to find that gem. Right away I joined that Fb watercolour stuff sales group, but all I could see were those annoying little Altoid boxes...one after the other...everywhere......( probably artists who were initially lured in by the cutesy element but then realized they never actually use them ) and half squeezed - out tubes.. not much else really. Though I might try to sell some of my own palettes, ( been " lured" a few times myself 😅 ) which are numbering in their 20's now. Maybe even as a " bundle "

[@watercolorpour]

Hi, yes this was a wonderful surprise! We just never know who will post another treasure. I have also found vintage palettes/brushes on Etsy and Ebay, when I first started getting serious about watercolor I bought a “lot” of paintbrushes from Ebay and still have many of them to this day. Love your idea to do the lot 😊

[@maggiemae6867]

Gorgeous

[@CharmaineCombs-sr9fj]

Awesome! Yes paint something. I need to learn watercolor theory. I know the color wheel but on a different level😂

[@watercolorpour]

I will have to make a quick video soon on color theory, I have a great tool that simplifies learning 💛🩷🩵

[@lisajensen1843]

This is an awesome video! Exactly what I needed to see. Swatching colors really makes the difference on seeing how they all go together. I have most of these colors but haven’t set a palette up like this. I’m so inspired by this video!! Thank you! From Idaho👩‍🎨🧑‍🌾🐴❤️

[@followyourbrush]

You have the most fun tools! 😊

[@pamelaburns1081]

Love the Q-gold too

[@lauralonghelbig]

One of the loveliest selections I’ve seen. Question: where did you purchase the little corner trimmer and the wooden block with circle?

[@watercolorpour]

The corner trimmer is called a -Corner Rounder Large Punch, 10mm- found it on Amazon years ago. The wooden block with the circle was from my late grandfather’s wood shop 🥰

[@creativespark7371]

This box is really cool! Thanks for showing it to us. I would love to have one of these...but, Unfortunately, the paint tray is not for me. I use single half pans so I can pull colors out/put colors in to different palettes. I like to switch my main studio palette up often, and I have multiple smaller "limited color" palettes that I switch up very very very often. I like to keep things new & fresh and I like to push myself and use/rotate all the colors I have so I don't stay stuck using the same colors all the time. If I didn't switch up, there a few colors that I would only use because they are my "preferred colors". I also do not like to make duplicate pans of the same color, and having single, movable pans allows me to switch a color from palette to palette to avoid making duplicates. Also, the multiple mixing trays make the palette bigger than I prefer it to be.

[@watercolorpour]

The Roberson palette comes in many configurations and layouts, for instance the inside tray is removable so you could request a build without it to be able to use the pans you mentioned and it can be ordered without the oval flaps, can even add a thumb ring or thumb hole. John also makes other style brass palettes, they are just beautiful.

[@mariongowland402]

Cute box with a gorgeous selection of colours. For information, I recently used Milford paper and it doesn’t like masking fluid. It was very difficult to remove.

[@watercolorpour]

Thank you for sharing this info, so good to know

[@jvisser4848]

Beautiful! Do you happen to have further details on that very practical pop socket? How to search for, or acquire, that option with the magnetic ring?

[@watercolorpour]

I get them off Amazon - here is my affiliate Amazon Plein Air Supply Page : www.amazon.com/shop/watercolorpour/list/2SNEFJSY2S64I?

[@watercolorpour]

It has the PopSocket wallet listed and additional magnet rings if you have more than one palette you want to outfit for plein air/hold in your hand

[@followyourbrush]

Fantastic!!!

I have wanted one of these palettes for as long as I have painted in watercolor, so it was an early Christmas for me for sure

I have the large Roberson style palette and would love a drawstring bag for mine like you've got, i did ask John at the time mine was being made and was told he did'nt supplt them anymore so if ANYONE knows where i might be able to get a similar one or makes products like these bags i would be so so grateful 😊
