  • On a grey and rainy Autumn day, I finally had the opportunity to sit down at my desk and calmly decide upon exactly which watercolors to fill my Frazer Price Brass Palette Box with. I wanted to take the time to enjoy the process and come up with a special palette of colours that I will love using and feel inspired by. I also wanted to film the process of swatching the paints while sharing my thoughts with you about the colours I've included. It was important to me that this is a good mixing palette and that the paints are lightfast too. I hope that you enjoy it!

    If you don't want to use tack or glue, you could always cut cardboard or basswood pieces to place at the ends to hold the paints tight.

    Even more gorgeous arty things to lust after! Some tiny blobs of BlueTack (or the White version) underneath your pans and squashed down will solve your sliding problem. Love your colour choices esp the Verditer Blue, thanks Natasha xx

    TO STOP THE PANS FROM MOVING: I use blue tack or ticky tack. I center all the pans together and then make like a bumper with the tack to keep them from sliding back towards the edge. Edit: I sent you a pic on instagram In my palette I have the Daniel Smith Jane Blundel 15 pan ultimate mixing set and added yellow ochre, raw sienna, quin burnt orange to round it out to 18!

    Frazer Price Brass Palette Box what a beautiful Box! 🫣 If one isn’t a watercolorist, this treasure certainly could push them over the watercolors edge. 🫠🖌🎨 I enjoyed watching and listening to your thoughts on how you build your palette. I’m looking forward to seeing what magic you create with this new palette. I used to hesitate to use my beautiful art supplies. Then I thought if I don’t use and enjoy them, the next owner will! I dearly love the next owner and I want us to share in the beauty of the treasured art supplies. 👩🏼‍🎨🎨🖌🧑🏻‍🎨 I’m 71 now, but I wish I had realized this when I was younger. Using them doesn’t make them less precious, they become more precious in the works of art you create…as no other can. Love, Fran

    Yes, buff titanium makes the loveliest pastel mixes, so glad someone recommended it and that you enjoyed it! I added it to my palette after seeing it in some watercolor videos and it's been a wonderful addition to my mixing palette.

    I use red line two sided tape on the bottom of the pans and it holds them tightly in place.

    I’m getting more and more comfortable with brand-curated and self-curated palettes,(talking color sets here.) A more limited palette seems to help me focus and make some better color choices. And your Frazer Price painting palette is so nice and I’m sure you’ll love using it. And such great color choices! 😊

    So glad you have shared this video with us. I actualy have two of The frazer Palette boxes myself,which were a gift from a late artist friend,and they are such beautiful objects,made more so by the fact they are functional as well.But they have been gathering dust in a draw in my studio for sometime (sorry to say),but after watching this wondful video I am gong to get them borh out and work out a palette of colours to put into both of them,so thank you for inspiring me to do this I will spend a weekend on this. You have such a natural gift for choosing colours and creating pallettes and it's lovely to haer your insights for chossing them and how you will use them,your love of colour realy comes across in your videos.Naples Yellow is a staple in my cache as its a great mixing colour and a colour I have alway just loved.I too use Buff Titanium I think it's beause of you that I discovered this colour and it's great mixing capabilities and it quuckly became a staple colour for me as well. I love that you also got inspiration from one of your subcribers too in choosing the colours,and its a glowing testament to the great community you have around you channel. I love the fact this field box is in effect a liitle portable studio,so I hope it will inspire yoy to try painting 'en plain air' as they say,but also great for visits to see Mum too.I would suggest myabr small blobs of bluu take or whitetack to keep the pans in place,but maybe what about little velcro dots,you can by packs of these realy cheaply on amzon etc and some are the size of these tiny magnets I know you use in your other plaetttes,you can ger velcro dots in packs or on a roll.I think it's great too that you are using more unsual colours in your paleetes like the red you went with,but that you can instantly see how you will use it in your amazing artwork.and it's always a pleasure to see you colour mixing and seeing what happens and it look like this field box plalette is going to give you a large range of colour mixing possibilities. Hope to get to see some artwork created with this palette. (matt)P.s a messy well loved desk is a sign of of contented and inspired artist! and I have a massive furry jumper too and don't mind looking yeti like as it keps me

    I enjoyed this swatching session very much, Natasha. You and Mary have created a fun palette. The W&N Cobalt Green Deep - wow, got to have it! Buff Titanium is marvelous for mixing what we here in the U.S. associate with the Southwestern desert. They are colors used in decor. How faithful they are to the real desert I couldn't say. It will be interesting to see how this palette inspires your new work. 💥

    I have this palette too. My colours are polaris, monte amiate sienna, fossil, cassel earth, ultramarine, vintage green, vernier, paynes grey, bright rose, virgo, cobalt turquoise, cool indigo, shadow, and white gouache and gold. It is such a beautiful accessory. I loved your colour choices and the mixes. X

    Lovely. Two options to stop the sliding about is to slide the pans to one side and then add a bit of artists' moldable eraser to fill the end. You can also find glue dots to put on the bottoms of the pans. I personally don't like pans for that reason, plus they ruin my brushes. I purchased the 48 pan A. Gallo set and I have to dot glue the pans in place just so I can mix in my ceramic pallets.

    What a pretty little palette! I too would be afraid of breaking or messing it up 😆 at the same time it's inspiring to use such lovely products!

    Quinacridone coral… One of my favorite colors in the whole wide world!!!

    Blue tack will work to keep your pans still (I use it all the time for mine) or magnets if surface is metallic. ✌🏼💜
