Fresh palette day is loved and hated. I love the new fresh colours but hate the mess of preparation! I use a fresh palette to finish paintings that have been colour blocked!
Please continue to record just as you do. I feel as though I am physically in your studio with you, learning at your side. Talented computer-y people or those with money who hire editors and put out RU-vid videos that end up like flashy Tesla commercials are a dime a dozen. An artist, who is sharing with enthusiasm, her passion for her paints and tools in a candid way is SO refreshing. No more apologies! I wouldn't change a thing. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing today. I don't even paint with acrylics and I am fascinated and learning. ~~Catherine
what SHE said, chuckle :) It was great fun watching you! I have found that 409 really does a super job of cleaning up acrylic paint. I use paper palettes in the pad, or foil baking trays, and just peel the paint off whichever I use when it's dry, and reuse them. If I have paint blobs left over, I use it as a cover-up layer on another canvas. I'm pretty good at squirting or spooning out the amount of paint I need, so I don't usually have a lot left over. But then I use a pretty limited palette most times I paint, and mix my own colors as I go. I really like your style of painting and learned some new color mixes today. Thanks!
I absolutely agree and was thinking the same!! So lovely to watch an organic, peaceful yet enthusiastic video. Not overly edited or produced. Feels like chatting with a friend about their beloved activity. One of the previous vids had background music and I was sad to have to mute it. lol. Please keep your easy-going, come along with me sort of vibe. Love it!
Oh and when i wash my big acrylic paint brushes, i spray, and let the paint dribble down a large, stone cheetah statue, and also on a few flower pots. Xx from zambia
😊I peeled all my pallets last night. Sometime you get amazing paint skins to reuse in a mixed media painting, I put a piece of glad wrap/ cling film over my wet paint pallet if I know I will continue painting the next day.
@@Debbiegibbyes me to,ore i spray a bit of water on the pallet and put a plastick plate ore cover for to close my pallet. Sometimes it stays for 1 week good wen the weather is not so hot.
I love that you save the paint. I’ve also seen people use the old paper for collage. I watched someone wipe away about 50 almost perfect dabs of premixed color the other day and it just absolutely killed me.
J'adore votre simplicité et les économies que vous essayez de faire sur une peinture qui nous coûte si cher.....mais n'est il pas mieux d'en verser un peu moins au fur et à mesure puisque vous achetez des couleurs prêtes à l'emploi....moi qui prépare mes couleurs à partir des 3 primaires je peux me permettre d'en préparer d'avance un peu plus pour m'assurer d'avoir toujours les mêmes tons.....merci pour votre jovialité et merci à votre si gentil mari qui vous donne un coup de main pour vous soulager....de paris....encore merci de vous dévoiler si simplement.
I try to dump the water from cleaning and cleaning brushes out side so as not to pollute the water system with all the micro plastics.. I use my dried paint(I I use shelf paper) on the stay wet for collage.:)
Thank you for doing that. I rinse my brushes and my reusable paint palette through a coffee filter first. Then filter the water by itself through a filter. I keep my old laundry soap and fabric softener containers and pour the used water into those containers. I then take it out once a month to the local hazardous waster collection area for them to dispose of. Rinsing and pouring acrylic paint products down your sink is not only hazardous to the environment, think of what it does to your drainage pipes.
I like the old paper as a work of art. I think because it's unintentional, and your colors are not muddy mixed together, it is very pretty. I would be tempted to touch it up with some abstract flowers, but that's just me. I might also ruin the rhythm of the colors. I'm not brave enough to try something like this. The randomness makes it very pretty to me. The mixed colors on the sticks you showed are gorgeous! PS. I am inspired to experiment and use a small framed canvas as a palette to get that unintentional randomness and see if it can be used to create a mass of flowers when I am done using it.
I buy disposable latex gloves from either London Drugs or Sally's Beauty supplies, Sally's is open to the public. I wear them when I am cleaning my brushes and pallets as well as priming my canvas. I can reuse them several time and they come 100 to a box. Cheap & cheerful way to saves my hands and nails from all that paint.
Awesome information & thanks for sharing your colours!! I just received my Master Pallet & was waiting for your video on how to set up. Love the combo colour mix's you showed. Very inspiring to play with this week. :)
Hi ,new to your videos. Love watching you paint. A suggestion , maybe use what's left on your paper pallet as the start of a new background for a new painting by pressing it on a canvas so as to not waste any of your paint. Or on watercolor paper to make cards. Just a suggestion. Anyway that's what I do as to not waste my leftovers.
I just use my leftover palette paints in my journals for future backgrounds. It's a nice way to avoid the blank paper syndrome. Love your videos, they are fun and inspiring ❤
Love love, love your chanel. Only use smaller, or any size canvasses as your palette from now on!! I have 10 canvas palettes all ready for abstract flowers designs, those i sell always for a charity
I use a dollar store dish brush to scrub, a plastic putty knife for scooping off the pallette and for peeling off skins. And because I don't paint as often, I'll spray the sponge and underside of the paper with peroxide. That stops the growth of stuff without the smell of bleach. I do have to be neat since my cleanup is in my kitchen sink.
Hi from White Rock, BC! I really appreciate this video and I will Save it for reference! Could you please tell me the name of the light blue that you love for skies. It was at the 16:54 minute mark. I really value your videos and your art is beautiful.
Hi, just beginning video and spotted that paint tube squeezer - is it plastic or metal? Please share what brand and if you're happy with it. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Sorry I forgot to say that I also purchased a hair dressing trolly from Sally's. It is on wheels and has 5 drawers plus 2 shelves on each side that are open. Great if someone is lacking in space. I can move it to where ever I want it and my stay wet pallet sits perfectly on the top.
Love love your videos, they make my day! I have a question about washing acrylic paints down the drain. I've been so careful to not do that because of plumbing issues? Do you see any issues with that?
I thought the whole purpose of using paper was that you could put it in the garbage instead of flushing the paint down the drain. wondering where you take your skins, etc recycling?
Good idea using popsicle sticks to transfer the paint to new palette! I hate to see paint going down the drain, all the talk of micro plastics in the ocean these days. I usually just fold over the old palette and throw it in the trash... but I mean its still litter though right? 6 of one and half dozen of the other. 👍
Unfortunately you do not list the company and the colors or show them really long enough in your video so I can pause the video to write it down. I am a beginner. I love your painting style and the colors. Surprisingly. But I do!
