One helpful hint: if you mix your own greens, put same yellow in 2 adjacent wells-one to mess up (by mixing green and contaminating the well) and one to leave pure fir when you actually need pure yellow.
I started watching your channel 3 years ago when I began to teach myself watercolor. You have helped me soooo much. I am so glad to see another video from you. I now know how to set up my palette but I have to watch everything that you post for us. By the way, you look happy and healthy ❤️
Nicely done! I am glad to watch other Artists create their palettes and why they choose the colors and paints to create their own individuality crafted themes for colors and painting for the pictures they create, thank you.
Thanks for the great video! I started with 2 types of most my colours to start with and didn't pay attention to the colours being transparent, semi transparent or opaque. I am slowly purchasing my favourite colours in the pro-series of the same brand and already bought a very large pallet for them. I want to keep some space for when I get better and feel confident enough to purchase the 4* of their pro series. For anyone interested, here is the order of my messy pallet. All colours listed are the Winsor&Newton cotman series. Lemon yellow, cadmium yellow cadmium orange cadmium red, cadmium red deep, alizarin crimson permanent rose purple lake, dioxazine purple (favourite) ultramarine, cerulean blue, turquoise, phthalo blue and Prussian blue (blue is my favourite to use.. obviously) viridian green, emerald, hooker's green light, sap green yellow ochre, raw umber, Vandyke brown Payne's grey, ivory black, lamp black White GOUACHE, same brand. (for details on top, because it is more opaque and actually shows) I love to experiment with my colours, that is why I have more than I actually would need. I found out I can do without a few colours that I obviously will not replace once they have been used up. Going to add some lemon yellow with the greens once I am out of emerald and will also not refill the sap green. One of the light browns will go too. I do keep both black. Lamp black is very rich and deep in colour. Silhouettes are great with this one. But I like the brown undertone of the ivory black for a bit more subtle shadow stuff. It is also more transparent.
Hi! It's nice to see you making videos again. 😊 I've started buying metal travel tins, empty pans and adhesive magnetic film to put on the back of the pans and so far it's working well for me. 😊
It's always interesting seeing how other people create their palettes! every one of these reminds me that it's only me that's obsessed with adding lots of pinks 😂
Great video with very valuable information. Two suggestions, instead of glueing, use tiny round magnets attached to your pallet & empty pans. You can change extra colors accordingly and they can be removed when cleaning the palette. Also, keeping away colors which have white from others, will avoid loosing transparency in your paintings. Extra pans will be great for them. ❤
Just completed the Roadtrip" . Have ordered the colors in your pallette. Working on the projects in your book now. You are an amazing teacher and artist.
Nice explanation on color selections and mixing choices. I'd like to see mixing cheat sheet where I could just add it to my favorites for reference without my information being released.
I prefer gouache to watercolor but I just wanted to say how fantastic that palette is. It seals very well and will keep paint wet. I love having the removable palette as well. It's also easy to clean (which I do whenever my gouache starts getting messy).
Hello 2 months after you upoled a video long time I haven't see you can you please start making videos regularly bcz your video are really amazing and interesting and enjoying 😊 MISSED YOU A LOT ☺😊🥺
Why harden the color? I think the pigment would be better if I used it straight from the paint tube. Can you explain if my assumption is right or wrong? @makoccino ?
You can use it both ways! If I need a lot of pigment, I sometimes use the fresh paint from the tube. The paints I'm using are reactivated so easily and they behave just like tube paints once soft! Some other brands or pigments might behave different, but with the ones I have I don't have any problems using them both ways
@@MakoccinoI've got paints in pans, not completly filled. Sometimes i like to use fresh paint and I put a small amount on top of the dried. This way i can use fresh paint without wasting any😊
Mix the smallest drop of clove oil into each paint with a toothpick before it dries and hardens. This will help prevent mold and mildew without affecting the texture. You only need a very small amount, though, so be careful!
I love you and your videos, but I got motion sick from the way you constanly move your hands. Especially in the beginning when they had nothing else to do.

100% doing this!!!
That is a fantastic idea and I’m going to do that from now on. Thank you.
Good tip!
I put a dab of yellow in the mixing area for mixing. It helps not contaminate the one in the well

haha my pallet has so many pinks/reds i paint flowers mostly and i have so many!
I do that as well, except with blues.
Me too with Earth colours and blue
Here.... Me too, pinks and blue... A lot.... 😅
@@Rudra0141 nice! I love blues too

I have this pallate and it really works well for me!
Thank you for those great pieces of advice!
What a good idea to glue additional pans! I just add a blob of any extra colours to the mixing space. Thank you!
I did the same, but it's such a mess after a while and hard to get the amount of color you need!
Love this colour palette 👍👍
I paint whit pebeo oil and the 24 Pebeo watercolour set in tubes. I love the Pebeo watercolours tubes and oil tubes
Hey Mako, will your watercolor summer weekend getaway be on RUclips live or another platform?
It will be over Zoom, and the recordings will be uploaded to a private portal 😊
Super helpful video!!! Thank you!!! I luv all your content!!!!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Very nice video. Thank you.

I did the second like 💖🤣
How do you prevent mould from forming in the palette?
I never had this issue, so I can't help you with this :( Are you properly drying the palette before you close it?
Mix the smallest drop of clove oil into each paint with a toothpick before it dries and hardens. This will help prevent mold and mildew without affecting the texture. You only need a very small amount, though, so be careful!
