In this week's art video, I'm sharing my entire process for preparing a new watercolor palette using Daniel Smith tube paints.
I've included everything: what I do to prepare my plastic palette for less beading and color separation when mixing colors, how I choose the paint colors that I'll be adding in, how I organize my colors in my palette, how I fill in wells with tube paint, and how I create a color chart that I can keep coming back to over time. 👀🖌️
Lots of must-know information and tips are shared along the way. 👩‍🎨
Hope you enjoy and find this one helpful! 💙

Murphy’s oil soap works great for the beading on new palettes. Wipe it on straight from the bottle then wipe off with a dry paper towel. Super easy and works so much better than any of the other methods. Wipe on wipe off! Easy peazy! 😎

This is a great introduction to beginners. Here's how I set up mine: I color swatch before I put the paint on my palette so it follows a color wheel. I also like having lemon yellow on one corner so it doesn't get contaminated from two sides. So I follow yellows>oranges>reds>pinks>purples>blues>greens. My neutrals go into whatever hue they have so Yellow Ochre in yellows, Sepia in oranges, Payne's Grey in blues etc. I would be very uncomfortable having a cool magenta next to a warm yellow. Kudos to you for these things not bothering you!! Also, instead of changing water so often, you could have two jars of water. One for getting rid of all color from the brushes, the other, which is clear water to use on the palette.

Hey, there! Thanks so much for watching and for sharing about your set up. :) I do often use two containers of water. However, I also love getting up and walking around, so changing my water doesn't bother me too much. Wish you a lovely day!

This was very helpful! Right now I have numerous WC paints from many different brands. Each brand has its own palette and tubes are stored by brand rather than color group. It's overwhelming and I'd love to learn some strategies for limiting my brand and color chooices. Getting down to one palette of a limited array of my preferred colors without wasting all of that paint.

@ErikaLancasterArt 2 года назад

Hey, Renee! I'm so glad to hear this one was helpful. :) I SO get you! Having a ton of different colors is super overwhelming and also not necessary for great paintings. I spent so much money in the beginning of my journey on different colors that I ended up not even using or using very little of. Keeping things limited is oftentimes the best way to go and we can really learn so much about color mixing by doing this, too. I have some smaller palettes with Split Primaries (just 6 colors) that I take on trips or for quicker plein air or coffee shop sketches. Thanks so much for watching and taking time to leave your valuable comment! 💚 Wish you a lovely and inspiring rest of 2021!

@elflordsjourneys 2 года назад

Hey Erika✌ I bought this same pallet awhile back and have never used it, perfect timing on this video.Wished I could afford Daniel Smith paints to fill it.😀 3 reds would be enough for me , that primary set would be a nice start though.

@ErikaLancasterArt 2 года назад

Hey! Limited palettes are great! :)

@cthepower 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for such a detailed explanation. I am having trouble finding information on the surface preparation for plastic mixing areas. Can you direct me please?

@ErikaLancasterArt 5 месяцев назад

You're very welcome! I mention what I do to prepare mine in the video. Timestamps are in the description box- Ideas to avoid paint beading + separation on mixing tray 1:35. This said, you don't have to do anything as, with use, beading will go away. 🙂

@gaybofill6502 2 года назад

How do I determine what the warm vs. cool temperature is in a particular tube of watercolor paint? It is not listed as such on the label.

@ErikaLancasterArt 2 года назад

Hi, Gay! I'd recommend looking into the Color Wheel and Color Theory to learn how to tell if a color you swatch out is Warm or Cool-biased. I have a full workshop on this and the Split Primary color wheel on Patreon, but I'm sure you can find free videos on this on RU-vid. Here's something I can share with you, which I hope helps: -Warm blues have a purple bias rather than a green bias. They have a hint of red in them. -Cool blues have a green bias rather than a purple bias. They have a bit of green in them. -Warm reds lean towards the yellow side, rather than the purple side. -Cool reds lean towards the purple side, rather than the yellow side. -Warm yellows are those that have a bias towards the orange side. -Cool yellows are those that have a green bias. Wish you a great day and thanks for watching! :)
