Watercolor Palette Tour - 2020 Edition!

[@tylociraptor8131]

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My mother also passed just a little over a week ago, and I was lucky enough to be home with them before the COVID stuff got too bad, I can't imagine how hard it is to be away from them during this time. Your videos have helped me get thru everything with their calming mood, so thank you for that

[@InLiquidColor]

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, and I'm grieving with you. I'm glad to be able to help in some small way, and I wish you time to heal from your loss

My condolences for the loss of your father. I lost my dad two years ago while I was dealing with severe depression and anxiety as well, and I know it's really tough right now. Stay safe, and don't beat yourself up if you're not feeling productive or inspired, or if you don't feel like you can make content. We'll be here no matter what.

[@MoonSpinners]

My art has been my salvation this year. My dad passed away in January, I’m agoraphobic and my brother is my only visitor, but now with the Coronavirus business, I can’t see him. It’s hard, especially as my only companion was my cat, and she passed away 2 weeks before Christmas. These art supplies videos have been really helping, so thank you so much for making this whilst you are also going through a terrible time. My best wishes to you, and everyone who is feeling low. 🤗

[@InLiquidColor]

I'm so sorry to hear of your losses as well. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.

M’y deepest sympathies about your dad. I lost my dad last year to Alzheimer’s after taking care of him for 5 years. It’s not easy. I can tell from watching you now for two years that you are a strong person. Depression is a terrible affliction. My mother suffers from it, too. May the good Lord send you the necessary graces to keep you strong and give you true inner peace. I have your earth friendly palette (24) and I love it.

[@nancypalmer6729]

I’d certainly watch a video of those vintage paints, Denise! I’m glad you were able to score some affordable ones...when I was looking, they were all a bit dear for me. But I still love to look at them!

[@mjpete27]

Congratulations on 4 successful years of painting! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of loss. I enjoyed watching this video and became quite nostalgic for my palettes that I gave away when I started working digitally. Some people can do both, not me. If I had not cleared the studio I would have kept going back to work with what I knew better than the back of my hand! You have been such a wonderfully inspirational and talented influencer to me getting back into watercolors I truly love! I especially enjoy watching your videos just to remember or learn and come to a deeper understanding of paints I took so much for granted in the past. Thank you Denise, I hope your on your way to joy, it will return, just believing that it will happen can bring it closer. Be well and SAFE!

[@mindofwatercolor]

Congrats on your 4 year channel-versary! Good to see you posting again for whatever reason. Celebrating great palettes in our collection is a better than good reason in my book. Take care my friend.

[@InLiquidColor]

Thank you for all the support, Steve. Day by day, I'm trying to get back to "normal." I'm glad to have friends like you in the community to encourage me along the way.

[@tobeseve4020]

I would just like to quickly say: My first watercolor palette (besides a generic brand set I got for $5) was White Nights. Since then I've also tried Daniel Smith and Winsor and Newton. Honestly I think White Nights is better than both of them. They're super creamy and easy to rewet, they're extremely vibrant, and they're ridiculously cheap. Sure some of the colors are pretty opaque, and a lot of colors are made from multiple pigments, and maybe it's just because it's the first paint I started using, but it remains my favorite watercolor set, and I strongly recommend them.

[@DRBEE66]

A have a question. Why its bad a watercolor pan(or Tube) to be created by multiple pigments?

[@StrawberryLegacy]

@@DRBEE66 It can sometimes cause unpredictable results when you mix them with other paints, plus generally the more pigments in a mixture the higher the risk of muddiness. Besides that, many artists simply prefer having the separate pigments on their own because that way they are much more flexible than when they are already mixed together in a certain ratio. Hope that helped!

[@godzandheros]

I really like them too and I'm so glad they are finally expanding their range to include more transparent pigments.

[@outtour2525]

Same! I'm more of a oil painter but it do love watercolours for rough sketches and the easy portability factor to them and white nights is what I use and it's everything I could ever want cheap and cheerful, I use white nights for more bigger works and Van Gogh shades of nature to keep in my travel bag, still trying to get better at watercolour as I think it's the most hardest medium!

[@tobeseve4020]

@@DRBEE66 Basically, it makes it easier to mix colors together, as they're less likely to get muddy.

[@paulage1art]

I’m so sorry you’ve had a rough time lately. I thoroughly enjoyed your updated palette tour and am so excited about your love of vintage tins! I bought maybe 10 vintage tins on eBay over time and then went to an estate sale recently and found a big box full of vintage tins - was really pricey $300! it had large vintage 48 half pan Schmincke set - lightly used and a well-loved 24 full pan vintage Winsor Newton set. You had to buy the whole box. I just couldn’t spent the $300, but the next day they decreased the price to $150! So I now have a large collection of vintage watercolor tins, some nicer than others, but plan to share them!cant wait for a video of your vintage tins!!! Paula from Florida

[@InLiquidColor]

Wow that's amazing! What a fun find!

[@EveBolt]

That's and absolutely awesome find, and it found a good home!! :D

In Liquid Color Yes! If there are any colors you would like to try that I might have I could send you some in a vintage tin! Just let me know!

My condolences on the passing of your dad. Thank you for finding the heart to still share.💐

[@everartokelli]

Hey, Denise, thanks for sharing your watercolor palettes with us, it's always a joy to see what you use and what your thoughts are about your palettes and paints. I'm so sorry about your dad, it's a difficult time to lose someone you love, not that's there's ever a good time. I was reading about how we as a society are suffering "collective grief" about the loss of so many souls and the other losses of financial security, routine and more. It can make healing both more difficult because the pain is so palpable and unavoidable, yet in some ways easier because you don't have to deal with everyone else's normalcy and happiness while you're grieving. There's also "collective guilt", guilt for NOT having lost someone, guilt for trying to be normal and happy, guilt for not connecting, etc, but we should try to hold on to some things that make us happy and able to function and enjoy what we can. Hopefully I got the gist of it, it helped me a bit to understand and accept my mixed up feelings, hope it helps others in a small way. We are a collective of In Liquid Color lovers rooting for you in all ways. Take care.

[@melstampz]

I'm so sorry for your loss, though I see time has passed since this video in the Spring. Though having lost my own parents I know that the pain revisits so intensely no matter how much time passes. Sending you hugs. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration. You are beyond compare & I'm too grateful for words for all that you've taught me. And thank you so much for sharing your mindset. It helps to be reminded that those of us who are sometimes heavy-hearted or fighting depression are not alone. Happy belated anniversary!

Hello Denise! I started watercolors a month ago and I just want you to know that your channel has been such a great help, whether it be choosing colors for a palette or your awesome reviews of products and especially the color spotlights.

My absolute favorite watercolor paint is Kremer. I like it even better then Schminke, but it doesn't come in tubes. So when I need to buy tubes my favorite is Schminke and recently Sennelier. Those are the brands I choose from when I have to buy watercolors. Thank you for the video!

[@gwenlynn7261]

So good to hear from you! Hope you are safe and that you are feeling better . Everyone is hyping up Roman szmall and I'm confused it looks so similar to White night but with soooo many colors. I'm excited to see you're review on them I'm sure it will be most helpful

[@JoAnneMOwens]

Gwen Lynn I love Roman Szmal paints! I have used quite a few brands, but prefer his paints as they are made with some unique pigments and I love the muted, granulating colors. You can get them from Jackson’s Art in the UK. You can buy them in small sets or individual full pans. I currently have 38 colors and have more on a wish list. You can see these reviewed here on KZbin...OtoKano has done a swatching of the full set, check out her channel!

[@skocz5915]

But like, how they're similiar to white nights? I don't get it. I have both and I still don't understand. Is it the big size of pans?

[@gwenlynn7261]

@@JoAnneMOwens yes I know oto! I watch the whole swatching series! There are some really pretty colors but oto said something about the earth tones, and I find that with white nights as well, that they are more thirsty and need more water to flow nicely. I think I'll wait until they are available in tubes since I prefer that over pans..

[@gwenlynn7261]

@@skocz5915 I guess it's the big pans , just the appearance?

[@skocz5915]

@@gwenlynn7261 I noticed that White Nights are "stinky", sometimes I forget to change my water after painting and then day after it's really painfull to do it, the smell is awful. I don't see anything like this in RS, also tho I love my WN paints I don't like how opaque they can get.

you have such a beutiful and calming voice and i love watching your color swatches. im a beginner artist that has just taken up watercoloring (again but this time more seriously) and your videos are very helpful. I love seeing other people being as in love with colors as i am and im going to start remembering the pigment names now. the brands i use are the white nights watercolors and winsor newtons cotman watercolors, i also have four shinhan tubes and one daniel smith tube (ultramarine red). im obsesed with ultramarine and im planning to collect as many ultramarines as possible and swatch them all. i currently have 16 different ultramarines that i have counted and one of them is a jar of pigment that im planning on making egg tempera with. also, mixing ultramarine with opera rose makes a lovley purple color. I would love to see an ultramarine comparison video or a swatching video of all different ultramarines that you have (including the ultramarine violets and reds and rose of ultramarine)

Thank you Denise! I am so sorry for your loss!! I hope that your move and new home, and your painting will help you to heal. Thank you for sharing this video!💕

[@justacatwhocantype]

First of all, sorry about your loss. My current favorite watercolors are Sennelier, Lukas 1862 and Schmincke Akademie. I really like the Horadam, too, but the oxgall in them makes me not want to buy them and all I have left of them is a burnt umber. Maybe I get lucky and someone will gift me a whole set of them without asking me first.😆 I also like Van Gogh watercolors a lot. I have only ever tried European watercolors, and thinking about it, I should really give some American or Asian brands a try. I have seen a rather affordable starter set of Daniel Smith watercolors, and I think I will be looking into that next.

[@FaerieDust]

Oh man, that canvas palette set thing is amazing!! I need one. Desperately. I've been stuck on that compact White Nights palette since the first time I saw it, one way or another I'll be getting my hands on one... I want the square Schmincke one too but every time I'm about to buy one I back out because I just can't get over the unfinished edges on it. Love the form factor, but man does Schmincke need to step up their tin game. There really is no excuse for the unfinished, often sharp edges. My favourite palette is my Kuretake 14 pan travel set - I never thought I'd like a plastic palette this much, but it's got ample space for a couple of travel brushes and/or a pen, and most importantly it's got NINE mixing wells. I love it so much. I keep seeing art KZbinrs calling their videos silly and frivolous and I cannot stress enough how important silly and frivolous is right now. We'll be isolating for a while, we need all the help we can get keeping our mental health up. I know I for sure appreciate every possible distraction or I'll just spend all my time worrying about all my many, many healthcare worker friends. Silly and frivolous is saving my mental health (that's not hyperbole btw, I've had a severe depression for over a decade that had only just improved when this hit - I'd only barely started getting my life back together and am desperately clinging to my newfound non-depressed state).

[@FranciscaPires]

Although i haven't been where you were all the "silly and frivolous" videos are also what keeps me sane, that and not watching the news unless there's something SUPER important. I hope you're safe and staying home ❤️❤️❤️

[@FaerieDust]

@@FranciscaPires I'm glad you've not had to experience that particular brand of mess ❤️ I'm super loud about how important silly and frivolous is right now - probably because I'm more aware than most just how bad it can get when one's mental health declines, and how difficult it can be to get out of a depression once it's really gotten hold. Silly and frivolous is a super important preventative measure 👍 I'm safe at home, I'm lucky enough that my uni classes this semester actually ended by the end of March, learning to draw and maybe finish the baby blanket for my now six months old niece - I started planning it late February last year 😂

Very grateful that I live in a cool, dry area with low humidity. I never have any issues with my m graham paints moving or seeming runny at all. They are still sticky, and will never completely dry of course, but they have dried enough that I could have the palette sit sideways in a bag for hours and they don't move.

I'm so sorry about your dad's passing. My dad passed away in '93. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and it does get better. Get plenty of sunshine or boost your D3 intake. It helps with depression, believe it or not. I love your videos, btw. :) So calming and informative.

[@claudiaacciolyconstantinid9023]

Dear Denise, I'm sorry to hear about your father! My father passed away a few years ago; at that time, although I knew it would be inevitable and that it would be the best for him, it was very painful! Physical pain, really. I imagine you may be going through something similar. And this time of mourning needs to be lived for the pain to ease. May you, your family and your father, wherever he is, be supported and guided by the greats from above, soothing and minimizing the painful moment. By heart. 🙏🏻💖

+1 on both a vintage tin vid and a review of that cool set in beeswax linen! That one looks so weird and FASCINATING! The swatches look really nice, compelling color & texture. P.s. it was really lovely to see a video of yours come back in. It’s been a while, and you were instrumental in my delving into the world of watercolor, so it’s also a bit nostalgic. :) It’s good to hear that you are doing little things to try and recharge yourself. That’s the best you can do in such times. (I’ve told u about how i also lost my father, back in august. But i also struggle with depression in general) I think managing to make a whole video is a huge deal and u should feel proud of yourself. Little steps will eventually lead to bigger steps. Don’t look too far into the future, and soon you’ll find that you get further than you ever would have imagined. Much luv. K

I used to hate watercolor when I was young, but as I get older I am learning to go with the flow. You are never too old to grow and learn - thank you for your part in my journey 💜

Welcome back!!! Yay!! I love seeing your colours 🎨

[@SoVuS777]

First of all, I am so sorry about your loss! I've been trying to minimize my art supplies collection by decluttering and rehoming for a pretty long time. I would would like to see the palettes you decided to rehome and why!

[@binglepadilla9751]

Congratulations on your 4 years. Lovely palettes and would love to learn from your skillshare videos soon.

I'd love to see a video of all your vintage tins!!!!! Xxx

I love Beam! Her paints are so gorgeous, can't wait for you to get to play with them.

Sending social distancing approved virtual hugs to you. I am so sorry to hear about your father. I hope you can find some comfort during this stressful time.

Sorry to hear about your father, Denise... This was a lovely little diversion video, and a bit inspiring for me as I have been lacking it lately. In a good natured way, I covet those Beam paints. I love the sets. And yes you said Manitoulin correctly... It's one of my favourite places on the planet. I look forward to your review of them when you have the time. Losing a parent is so hard, now especially so I imagine. Take care of yourself, and thanks for the video. ... And YES I would love to see your vintage palettes as well. Vintage art supplies are a pet interest of mine.

So sorry to hear about your loss, what a very difficult time it is right now, its so hard to get anything done or really settle to anything. A difficult time for you no doubt. I have had a personal four year lock down! So this is no different to me except I had hoped to enjoy this spring more. People who can get out have told me that here in the UK the blossom is unusually heavy and lush and certainly the birds have been more abundant than in recent years, and there have been quite a few bees around even in this early spring time. I love anything about watercolours and they have kept me going through what seems a long incarceration. I marvel at those who think two or three weeks will drive them crazy. Anyway heres what your palettes inspired me to say! I have a rather old basic Cotman palette like your as well as a much newer 24 half pan set. I love the older one and really hate the new ones, so yet there are differences. I love the nila colori paints, have added a couple to their box of 12, could not resist the W&N rose madder genuine that fits so well into the colour palette, also the schmincke rather disappointing lapis, because it is so very different to the nila colori one and extends the range in a way that I think would be very compatible with traditional colours. I also have the little Kremer palette and love it for very specific uses, my white is a little odd on the surface but do not think it is unusable, this is deliberately the most transparent of whites and will dilute other colours brilliantly, especially the extremely opaque ones. I also have the most beautiful set of Kremer landscapes which I have added to to make a very unique colour palette, It has not full bodied red and no clear yellow, its just a gorgeous and very versatile natural looking selection! What to say about Szmal? I fell in love with these too!

I would love to see your vintage palettes! Take care of yourself. 💖

I love DaVinci and your green is my favorite green! I use some Dan Smith, 1 W&N scarlet lake is everything, 1 Holbein shell pink, but mostly DaVinci. I did treat myself to schminke 12 pan set for Xmas and picked up the ones you recommended. I was kinda surprised that schminke wasn’t as nice as my DaVinci paint but ...I still use them lol. Love your videos and hang in there.

[@blushandpepperplans]

I would love to see a review of your Gouache paints. I've just started playing around Gouache and would love to know your thoughts. xx

[@Makachopping]

We missed you Denise! A new video made my day! I just gave a huge student-grade palette that I received for my birthday to a coworker of mine who was looking for a new hobby as I didn't need more paint. I'm really excited to hear how she likes it! She's never watercolored before.

[@InLiquidColor]

What a kind gift! I hope it's something you can do together in the future :)

[@romanpiper63]

I’m so sorry for your loss, my condolences for you and your family

[@taylorjudi]

The Beam paints look super cool. Love all your choices of palettes, brands, colors, etc. It seems to me you rehomed all your more crafter oriented palettes. I am sure the recipients were over joyed to receive new to them palettes of watercolor!

[@oscargorski6480]

I cant wait to hear your thoughts about Roman szmal paints! They're my favourite and I'm so lucky to be living in Poland, where I can but them in a lot of places 😅☺️
