Hi Gail. I just started watching your swatching. Could you tell me where you purchased the palette plate you have? I have a butcher tray, but mine has a high profile and yours looks like a better version. Thank you.
That is lid to a enamelware refrigerator box. I actually bought it at an antique store so I don't know where you could buy one currently. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Thank you for watching!
Great question! I just tested that out. I have Undersea green in both stick form and dried down from a tube. Undersea green is a granulating color. I swatched them out side by side and they both seemed to granulate about the same. I hope that helps.
Do sticks have a hazy white binder and look less transparent than the tubes? I was comparing teal and sodalite, in stick and dot card versions, and the granulation doesn’t look remotely the same and there’s a hazier overall look to the stick. The same thing happens with lunar black. I got my sticks this winter from Blick. Any thoughts?
I haven't found there to be much difference, however I paint mostly florals and don't use a lot of granulators so I am not sure. I purchased my sticks from Blick as well. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
It’s okay! I just hope I wasn’t given something that’s not DS, is all. The teal looks slightly yellower and less granulating in stick form than the dot sample. I will make sure to eventually get tubes in person. You can’t go wrong with that.
