I just use a cheap picture frame and I put toned paper inside🤷‍♀️It works amazing

@MistressOP 3 года назад

i was thinking THE SAME THING. plus you can change out the backing paper if you using other stuff. for example black or white or grey. just pull off the back.

@ellielodge5232 3 года назад

@trishfenster972 5 лет назад

I used glass, then painted a 1/4 inch board and duct taped them together. This is more sturdy than a single layer of glass. I like your gold tape!

@7Earthsky 5 лет назад

I think i'd do that as well...Accidents do happen and i wouldn't want glass shattering everywhere if it's dropped....I'd be happier still if the pallet was made of strong, clear plastic.

@ai-man212 5 лет назад

For safe edges just sand the glass edges (wear gloves). As mentioned below, cutting boards are a better idea because they're thicker and shatter-resistant. Glass table-tops are also a good option. Those are more expensive though. Other options: Heavy-Duty Aluminum foil (dull side) wrapped around a board and freezer paper (glossy side) taped around a table-top (for an extra-large palette). These are cheap and easily disposable. Saves cleaning.

@SeethingGita 5 лет назад

A lot of work! I Use an old glass cutting board, they’re thick and tough and you’ll find plenty at second hand shops.Useful tip is to place a piece of white/grey paper under ur glass board to see paint colours clearly, this also allows you to use both sides of the glass. The glass used in this video is just an accident waiting to happen.

@sashagirl38 Год назад

this is true you can easily just taped grey toned paper on the glass instead, the rest is just a waste of time and paint.

@ARTyHaG 2 года назад

Oh my God thank you so much I looked all over RU-vid to find out about the neutral grey tone at the back of the pallet nobody else tells you about it - probably seemed too obvious to them but not to me - thank you so much!

@TheCreativeGlow Год назад

Thank you! The grey really is helpful! I purchased a tempered glass palette last year and it has the same grey tone on the back, so I’m still very confident in this homemade version, and still use them when I need extra palette space! :)

@maryhough8041 6 лет назад

Little tip, when looking for a new palette don't go to the dollar store for a frame go to a garage sale! I got my palette for 50 cents! Cheaper than at the dollar store!

@user-cl9qe4rg7t 4 года назад

Awesome idea! Thank you! It took me two times to get it even enough. I didn't make enough paint the first time...so I washed it off and started again. I added a bit of acrylic matte medium to extend the drying time the second time around. Looks awesome now. Thanks again.

@TheCreativeGlow 4 года назад

Tim Koch wonderful! Isn’t it great? And the tape should help keep the pieces together in the event that it would ever break... I haven’t had any of mine break so far. Glad you like it! :)

@CKArts6 2 года назад

I like this idea. I have an EXPENSIVE glass palette that I have been using for years- it has white sticky paper on the back but the white is not helpful at all. I peeled it off and then painted the back gray like you did but with each layer- the paint peeled off- I used Golden med gray tone. Washed the glass and it came right off. Now I am thinking I can put the palette on top of a piece of cardboard when I use it and paint the cardboard neut gray. Hmmmmm……gonna try.

@Thedisgustingbeauty 5 лет назад

Glass is dirt cheap at a hardware store. I got a huge sheet of glass to replace for one of my cabinets. Also it is safer to have the hardware cut it for you and round off the edges so you don't cut yourself when you work. Glass from a hardware store is also a better quality glass than glass from a dollar store picture frame.

@Neptunecloud 3 года назад

Another easy solution would be to place a neutral gray toned paper behind the glass and frame it

@user-jj8kg5ef2t 3 года назад

It is so much easier to use a ceramic (wall) tiles. These are 8 inches X 10 inches. And it is more lasting than GLASS. Wall tiles come in all sort of colour (and sizes). Yon can easily buy a warm-neutral gray, or white. No need to paint, and no need to protect it with tapes.

@minnie5055 2 года назад

Nobody said glass pallets were new 😄 She is just showing us younger artists how to make a cheaper glass palette.

@_JoyceArt 6 лет назад

Funny, I was just thinking about doing it that way. To protect the painted area, but also prevent it from shattering everywhere if I drop it. I do think it would’ve been even better to first flip in the small flaps and then the big flap on the narrower ends.

@TheCreativeGlow 5 лет назад

By boyfriend said the same, but my logic was to have a finished edge on all edges instead of the raw edge of tape along an edge, but either way works! Thank you! :)

@omarhandmade 3 года назад

@momgib2000 6 лет назад

Just curious, could you just "frame" a piece of your pallet paper? I will have to try mixing on Gray, very interesting and I need all the help I can get lol

@TheCreativeGlow 6 лет назад

That's a very good suggestion and definitely an option, for sure! I personally prefer this just because it's less bulky--great for anyone doing plein air painting for portability--and it just gets in the way less than I'd imagine a framed glass would. Plus, aside from this glass I bought for the tutorial, this lets me make use of the left over glass after framing a painting. Totally up to you, the framing route would take less time for sure! Thanks for the suggestion and comment! Have fun creating/painting! :)

@yoganandsagar5203 5 лет назад

Staring straight into my soul during intro

@rustikwoodz7865 5 лет назад

Very nice 👍. Maybe I’ll just stick gray duct tape to the entire back and edges so I can eliminate painting the back side gray. Thanks!🥰

@rebeccamentzer6108 4 года назад

Not sure if I'm missing something or not but just curious if there's any reason why you can't just leave the plastic frame on your picture frame or document frame that comes with it when you buy it to help protect your fingers from getting cut on the glass?

@jimkoch3680 3 года назад

This must be for a portable palette that could also end up breaking and cutting you or others. Mine is stationary on a table next to my easel. I made it by just taking that same neutral grey paper and taped it to the back of the glass and taped the glass down to my FLAT table with ducted tape on the edges. Took about 5 minutes after I ordered the same grey paper palette she showed. no need to paint it. works great, I used two pieces for a 16x20 glass palette.

@smokefilledroom Год назад

Love this going to try it out. One question though. I tried using a glass pain from a picture frame and my paints dried really quick. Did I do something wrong or is there something I should be adding to the paints to keep them from drying out?

@unstablekiwi8975 6 лет назад

I was wondering if this works with acrylics because they peel off so easily and the peels might get mixed into the paint and make it chunky and hard to work with Btw I loved the video keep up the good work 💞

@Grumplestitskin 5 лет назад

I use a wet palate for acrylics. It extends the working time on the palette by days. Is also really easy and cheap to make. A quick search should lead you to numerous videos on how to build one.

@itzDave09 4 года назад

Very nice video, the only thing I do is use a foam board for the bottom for extra protection. You don't have to tape it completely except for the edges.

@itzDave09 4 года назад

I also use Spray Paint for glass which is very easy as well.

@TheCreativeGlow 4 года назад

Oh, I see. The reasons I like to do it this way are that 1) it keeps it nice and slim, and 2) the tape not only strengthens the glass a bit, but it holds onto the pieces if it should somehow break - although I’ve never broken one to date.

@tysonsilvers4903 4 года назад

So I understand why you did a mid tone grey but can you do the same with a burnt sienna? The reason I'm asking is because I almost always do my underpaintings in burnt sienna and I was thinking about making two with both a mid tone grey and burnt sienna

@TheCreativeGlow 4 года назад

Tyson Silvers Sure, you can do whatever colour you want to do. But burnt sienna is quite a warm tone, so many colours will appear cool in comparison; colours appear a certain way in relation to one another. That’s why neutral grey is suggested, because not only does it help to better judge lightness/darkness of your paints, but the colour temperature as well, leading to better and more accurate colour mixtures. In the end it’s up to you. One of each would help you decide what you prefer. ;) good luck!

@tysonsilvers4903 4 года назад

@@TheCreativeGlow thank you for your response. I honestly didn't think about burnt sienna being warm toned bc alot of my painting are more warmed colored lol so when you put it that way I'm definitely more confident in doing my pallette in a mid toned grey

@Doug444 2 года назад

I used foam board for backing and taped it with duct tape …. I didn’t paint the glass, I used grey paper.

@TheCreativeGlow Год назад

I personally don’t like the shadows that are created from just using a paper backing, so that’s partly why I prefer to paint it. If you don’t mind it, then is perfectly acceptable - do what works for you. Everyone has their own preferences and that’s great!

@juanpabloguitarra 4 года назад

What are other types of tape I can use for the back of the palette?

@TheCreativeGlow 4 года назад

Duct Tape (or similar product) really is one of your best options since it is very sticky; if the palette happens to break, most of the glass should stay stuck to the tape even if it is broken.

@mikehendrix6558 2 года назад

That glass is so fragile and could hurt.someone. The best glass palette is an old glass microwave plate from an old microwave. They are thick and less fragile. I've had same one for couple of years. Easy to clean

@TheCreativeGlow 2 года назад

I’ve been using mine for over 5 and 6 years and haven’t broken either so far. The tape on the back adds a rigidity to the glass and will keep most of the pieces at least stuck together should it ever brake. I think with proper use, it is safe, but take caution, of course.

@TheCreativeGlow 2 года назад

And I should add, I paint pretty much every day.

@pennysmith6802 3 года назад

Why would you paint it when you can put the paper behind it?! And most palettes are white… so a white paper behind would be the simple solution. 🤷‍♀️

@TheCreativeGlow Год назад

This is a late reply, but here’s my reasoning: I don’t like the shadows that using paper behind creates behind the glass, so I prefer painting it, plus is give it a more professional look, which I also appreciate… although once it gets mucked you from using it, that doesn’t matter anyway… that’s just me. And you find paint pallets in white, sure, but if you look to many professional glass palettes, you’ll find many are neutral grey, and you can buy the disposable paper palette pad in neutral grey as well. This is what I choose for painting en plein air. You may feel that white is more common, but neutral grey is pretty well liked by many artists since mixing on a white background can make colours appear darker than you expect… and the opposite can be said if you’re mixing on too dark of a background, so the neutral grey is a really nice middle ground, and helps in mixing more accurate values. All that being said, if you prefer white, you prefer white and that’s perfectly good because it works for you, and that’s what matters. But that’s the low-down on the grey vs white palette. :)
