I love her voice! So calming and sweet. Not to mention her talent is amazing
Thank you Raelyn.
Being a minimalist, I use a common tea saucer and only about six colors + titanium white. I mix shades in the flat bottom and just wipe it out with a wet paper towel.
Wow that’s a perfect watercolor palette 🎨! I am definitely going to have to check out the Robax details & link. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 💕🎨
My dream palette wish list was virtually the same and I bought myself the Stephen Quiller ceramic palette (available from Jacksons in UK). 24 sloping wells (with no ridge) arranged in a circle with an extra 8 well in the corners; Large mixing area in the middle. It is large and heavy (3kg!) but works well on a wooden lazy Susan. The lid is a bit flimsy but it keeps the dust out. love it but not for traveling!
I wish someone would make the Stephen Quiller palette without the corners. That was my original go-to palette, but I have short arms and am a klutz, so reaching over my palette is always a disaster. LOL
A lovely watercolor painting of your palette with all the beautiful colors put in a frame and hung on the wall would be nice.
I like that idea too! Love seeing the rainbow of colors all displayed together...
Now that's the dream palette!
Thank you so much for the fishing tackle box tip! Will definitely try that out as an organizer for my supplies.
Thank you for showing your new palette. I was very impressed with it and I bought one and love it. I set mine too in the manner of a color wheel. I used freezer tape and wrote the paint colors on the tape and placed each piece on the outside of the palette color. I also down loaded the pallet placing sheet from the Robax site and wrote the colors down on it for further information. I am using this palette for all my favorite Daniel Smith paints. It is well worth the expense. Thank you for all your suggestions and videos.
Thank you so much for designing such a perfect palette. Santa brought me one for Christmas, and I can’t wait to start using it. It’s the best!
Louise, I adore your paintings. You are so patient and so amazingly talented.
It is also helpful with the Robax palettes to use masking or artist tape and put the name of the pigment or paint color on the outside of the wells until you remember which color is where.
Thank you for sharing your art with us.♥️
Great advice. Thank you Christine!
I can recommend using a tape style label-maker to add the pigment code (or name) to your new palette. It’s sticky enough to stay still even if splashed, but you can peel them off if you change the wells around later on.
Great idea Roslyn. Thank you!
Yaaaay!!! I’m soooo happy for you:)! I just watched your older video about your rectangular palette last night and so this is exciting that you got the kind you wanted! It is a genius design! You should paten it! Hugs from California and thank you so much for all your tutorials here on RUclips! I started watercolors a few months ago so you have helped me so much! Thank you!
Thank you Sharon! I love my new palette. I'm glad the videos are helping you. It's such a fabulous medium to use. Good luck with your painting. 🧡
@@LouiseDeMasi :) :)! I laughed with joy out loud when I was watching your video when you were sharing your new palette, your eyes lit up!!! Yaaay! I want to get one son:)! Thank you for the good luck with my painting! I’m currently practicing the negative painting techniques from your videos! Also I’m practicing controlling the amount of water/paint~I’m hoping my deep desire to create will one day match my skill level~:) thank you sooooooo much for helping me on my art journey:)!
Thank you, Louise, for making this palette happen and sharing it with us. I had been looking at the Robax palettes for some time but felt the wells were too deep, and with the way I work could imagine a lot of water and pigments collecting in the bottom, so took a pass. Found your video and knew this is the one for me. The upper area for pigments are perfectly sized for my working methods. So easy to keep pigments clean,. I haven't had it long, but so far I've discovered my "dirty" pigments flow down giving me my most frequently used mixes in the basins of the wells. It's a very versatile palette! There's room to squeeze in a dab of pigment below of a frequent mixer. I do think the wells could be half as deep. AND made of porcelain would be a dream come true. Love your videos, BTW. Thoughtful, educational and well organized. Thanks again!
that's a fabulous idea! Thanks for posting that
Hello from India.... 🙏 I follow many artists on you tube and all of them r incredible.... Great painters. I don't know but watercolor paintings kick me... I feel like doing it though I am a beginner... Not painted much... A self learner...
I want to convey to u that I got to know the tit bits, the finery of painting by your tutorials only. I actually got to know how to handle watercolor and attempt to create a beautiful painting. U start from scratch, make the learner understand the importance of keeping in mind the minute details... May b, as u have been a teacher
.. U know how to teach.... A remarkable teacher... Tons of thanks and keeping us enriching with your knowledge for painting. U really taught me that no one bothered about emphasizing on......
A great salute to the teacher and painter in u...
In our culture, we have high regards for the teachers...
This is a very special message. Thank you so much Rashmi. 💕
your enthusiasm is catchy! so happy you found someone who can meet your needs, and it looks like an addition well worth having, especially I like the idea of putting the brands of paint in different palettes....shared joy is doubled joy! thank you Louise
My pleasure Robyn. Thank you!
Great idea-having a ridge on a sloping well!
Thank you SO much! This is my dream palette. I only just found out about Robax by chance from looking for color theory palette setup videos and your requested palette version is exactly what I need. The prices are very reasonable too for the whole expanded setup. What an innovative engineer he is! And thanks for the setup demo as well. I come at watercolor sideways as a mixed media artist, but I always want solid control on the colors I want when I want them in my nontraditional projects. Cheers!
Wow what a fantastic custom palette Robert from Robax made for you, Louise! Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. You are an excellent teacher- each time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new I want to apply to my work. Your Kookaburra bird you are working on is so lovely.
Thank you very much Dena. That's really good to know. I love my new palette!
@@LouiseDeMasi Take care Louise and have a super rest of your weekend
I think I just found my unicorn💕💕 just ordered this, so excited.
I love how responsive Robax is to artist's needs! How great that Robert was able to make it so quickly. The sloping wells might make this the palette that makes me finally invest in a Robax (if I can find the table space!). Thanks for sharing your palette journey and your colors.
Thank you Everart. I am very impressed with Robax Engineering. With this palette, I think I need to fill the wells up higher, like Jennifer suggested in the comments above. That way when the paint gets dirty I can give it a quick squirt of water.
I love your new pallette and soooooo glad you love it very resourceful when you talked about Spraying your watercolour and it flowing down or putting the water at the bottom because of the ridges.
Thanks Deborah. 💕
That’s a really good idea. Small blob of paint at the top and use the wells for washes. Just perfect 😊
That is a lovely pallet and your list of watercolors was very interesting . Thank you for sharing with me !
Oh my how great is that! I do love everything about the pallet. Thank you sweet friend ❤️.
Thank you Lyn. 🧡
Louise, I think if you put the paint right above the line of that upper ridge, so that it's mounded--slightly raised above it--and fills the bottom of the groove formed by the upper well from side to side, you should be able to do your spray bottle trick. Perhaps not with the spray bottle (because I think you want the upper portion to remain relatively dry), but with a pipette dribbled over it, for sure. That might save a lot of time from pulling it down with your brush.
Great advice Jennifer. Thank you. I think I will fill the wells higher. That way, when the paint gets dirty I can just squirt it to clean it. 💜
@@LouiseDeMasi I hope that works well for you! Please let us know!
Thanks! This was really informative. And I love the bird painting, so cute!
My pleasure. Thank you! 💕
You're videos are amazing! Thank you for sharing! You are truly gifted inart as well as teaching!
Thank you very much. 💜
Hi Louise,
I am brand new to your channel. This video was God sent! I have been looking for the perfect palette and you just gave it to me!! I can't wait to order one!! Thank you so much!
That's really good to know. Thank you Desiree.
I've been eyeing those Robax palettes for such a long time. Maybe I'll finally have to make the leap! They look soooo darn useful!
Thanks Jennifer. I'm going to do what you said and fill the paint right up. Great advice. Thanks again! 😘
I have been thinking about this palette ever since you showed this video...I finally ordered it today, with the addition of the removable pans...I am so excited!!! The webpage also included a template to paint your own copy of all the wells filled on the palette, which for me, I think will be helpful. Thanks so much for your videos here and I also love you on Skillshare!
Got it! Filling it today! My early Birthday present!
Just starting out. This week I’m going to practice mixing colours and getting used to the different brushes. I was a bit confused by my palette and how to set it up so this helped me tremendously. Thank you so much 🙂
What a splendid palette
design!
I have been looking at the Robax palettes for awhile. I saw your video and FINALLY, slanted wells. How fantastic that Robert at Robax made this for you. I just ordered mine. I am beyond excited for this to arrive!
Ahh, great idea you showed with the little rectangular porcelain palette. I always put the paint in the round wells.
Thank you for sharing this Louise!
My pleasure Don. Thank you!
Love the idea of this!!!
Cool palette!! Thanks for sharing. I have a big collection of pan watercolors but I see the advantage to use tubes
Thanks Tom.
I love the looks of this one. I have the largest Robax with the little well liners and the ceramic insert in the middle. I am not a great artist as you are, but I can't get enough of colors and I just love being able to play with any color at a moment's notice!
Yes I hear you Mary! You want them out and ready. You don't want to have to go looking for them. Thank you. 🧡
Mary McCaslin k
I can’t believe this guy is in the U.S.! I looked at his website, and there are all kinds of combinations. No one sells his palettes other than him, as far as I can tell. And his prices are very reasonable. I asked my husband to get me the one with room for 19 colors, but I also want the inserts so I can easily switch out my paints. Also, there are several mixing trays that look like they all fit together.
I think I might have been the one to suggest the Robax guys as a possible source for your Wishlist palette under your last palette video. I’m so excited it worked out for you! Now we can both ask Santa to convince them to make it in ceramic, hey??! 😉
Thank you very much for doing that, I really appreciate it. Yes a ceramic one would be perfect. 💜
I love this pallette! I need one!
Thank you for the video. It’s very interesting to see how various artist work.
I love my 44 large pan palette from Robax. The pans are removable. I purchased extra individual pans, because I love color and I’m a beginner just getting aquatinted with mixing pigments.
My pleaure Ann. You fit lots of colours in yours!
THANK YOU LOUISA! I am going to buy this! It is exatly what I have wanted! :)
I'm still taking lessons from you right here at home. Love to watch; you make it look so easy. I'm sure it won't be easy for me when I finally get up the nerve to try. Bought some watercolor paper (greeting card size) so that's where I plan to start. Wish me luck!
Good luck Carol! That's how I started. I bought little A5 size pads of Arches paper (similar size to a greeting card). When I got more confidence I moved up to an A4 size pad (about printing paper size). Then I went to A3 size (16" by 11") and then finally full sheets. Have fun! 💕
@@LouiseDeMasi I will give it a try very soon. Thank you for all these wonderful videos. You have the best 'teaching voice'; making so very easy to listen, watch and learn.
I am very glad you demonstrated this especially the sloped Wells when you sprayed and we saw the results and you found a solution re: pipette so that saves me having to go through that and I will be ready in Advance when I receive it. Thank-you very much and I would not want to Marker on my Palette so I will use the Color chart as you showed. Thank-You so very much loved this.
Great job! Thank you for sharing🌸
My pleasure. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing❣️🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
Thats amazing you were finally able to get the palette u wanted : ) i recently watched the one where u asked for help. Thx for the paper advice the other day! I so appreciate it. Cant wsit til my medical issues slow down so i can take some of ur classes. I love the video as i avoided the creamy watercolors cuz most were opaque...but the way u do it to get a translucent & dk shade os ingenious!!! Thank u so much. I may order one of those palettes myself b4 long : )
Thanks Karen. I'm sorry to hear about your medical issues. I hope you're ok.
@@LouiseDeMasi That is so nice of u to ask : ) I am doing good...at least here the saying is "its not the cancer that kills you, its the chemo!" Lol! Its so true! I was finally able to access the palette place. It was my phone, or rather the cable company! Thanks agsin for the nice thoughts!
what a great palette louise
Thanks Steven. So far so good.
Great help! I believe Robax makes a ceramic mixing tray insert that fits in that palette in place of the plastic one.
I have palette envy!!
Inspiration! Picked up a new palette and set it up. Wish I could share the image here. Thank you :)
I was going to recommend Robax! As soon as you stated your palette preferences I immediately thought of this company. I don't own these (yet) but I've seen the design and I absolutely love the round shape. I do own the 30-well rectangular porcelain Jackson's palette and I love it.
I have one of these and just love it. Glad you have one. I ordered the small individual liners and it works for me when I am only using a few colors. I also go a stamp that I use to paint sample of each color on so I can see what each color is. I am rather new to watercolors. These samples go into sleeves in my note book.
Thanks Cynthia. They are great. That's a great idea about the paint sample. I use a colour dot chart that the paint manufacturers provide. You can get them from art supply stores. I have Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith and Schmincke colour dot charts. I keep them in my drawers beside my painting desk and I use them quite a lot.
Oh, great idea; I will have to get some of those too. Thanks so much for replying.
Robert provides a template of the palette in a .pdf file listed with the palette information. It’s great to print that off, label it with the names of your paint colors and then you can put a paint sample of each color on the template beside the name.
@@gwenhafford4112I found those and have done what you suggested. Works great for me. Thanks for the info!
I have the Robax largest palette on lazy susan and love it. Wanted to redo the colour chart for the middle today, so went back to their site for the template and stumbled across this palette! Thought what a great idea - put it on my to get list, and then discovered it was created for you LOL Wonderful idea :) Love your Kooky :)
I got my "Louise De Masi Palette" today and had ordered it from Robax with the ceramic mixing plate as well as 3 extra plastic ones, and an extra bag of 30 well liners in addition to the 30 it already comes with, and the lazy-susan and cover. I have already labeled the colors' names on my initial set of liners with a fine point magic-marker (same colors as Louise's!) and I have plans to put all of my extra colors in the extra liners too, and keep them arranged in a box with a ziploc bag around it to keep them from drying out too fast. I can't wait to start my first painting using the new palette - I have to stretch some paper first!
Yay! How exciting. I hope you love using it Lydia.
where do you put the liners???? since the paint is sitting up top, and the bottom just catches wash water and mixed pigment, so the paint does not sit in it's dirty water...wondering how you could use "liners " with this set up???
I'm looking for where to get the palette and your list of colors. You said it's in the description
but where is that?
Below the video there is a small arrow. Click the arrow to get more information.
I love that palette! The link you provided, though, shows this palette with palette liners. You didn't mention them in your talk here. Did you get the liners? What are they? The photo on the website doesn't provide a closeup view.
New to your channel and your particular style is so beautifully simple and elegant.
Thank you for offering your list of W&N palette colours. One question, please? I read Winsor Blue but fail to see whether it be the red shade or the green shade.
So looking forward to learning from you!
Thanks Jeanne. I have the red shade I think.
I’ve looked at the robax palettes before, but didn’t find one that appeals to me. This one is different! I might have to take the plunge! Thank you.
Thanks Glori. I just read the comment above from Jennifer. I think what she said is a good idea with this one. I need to put more paint in mine so that the paint sits above the ridges. Then when the paint gets dirty I can just squirt it with my spray bottle like I do my little ceramic palette. 😊
I now see they have liners for these wells. Perfect!
great job dear artist
Thank you!
@@LouiseDeMasi you are welcome
I really enjoyed watching you put down the colors! In this new palette, would you have preferred NOT to have the ridges in each well, so that water could flow freely away from the blobs of paint? (I can see that even dipping your brush to transfer color into the clean water reservoirs will inevitably leave some water in the upper paint compartment, but maybe as long as it does not contact the main paint blob, that's okay?) I still think you could get a potter to make you exactly what you would want, in porcelain... Thanks for sharing your delight in your new palette!
I've been needing a new palette for quite a while now (washed holes in my 20 year old Robert E. Wood palette) but have been holding off because I couldn't find anything in the art supply stores that fit my needs and this is the closest to what I'm looking for. After 2+ years do you still enjoy using it all the time and does the material stain badly over the years? Great palette and video.
Love the sloping wells! When will you be posting the cardinal you're working on?
Thanks Ken. I have put the full length Cardinal tutorial on Patreon. I'll try to put a condensed version on here when I can.
Thank you
Lovely palette. Can you swash them please? Can you also tell me please, is the winsor blue green shade or red shade?
I'm on a phase of painting birds, like parrots and blue wrens( note sure how to spell the blue wren)😊
Thanks Louise, are there a any distributors in Australia that you know of, love your design the best
Thanks Chris. I'm not 100% certain but I think Robert just sells them from his website. Send him an email and ask him, he's very friendly. The link is in the description.
Yay! How exciting! I love the design. Good job! Maybe a Christmas present to myself🤔 little did I know how expensive this hobby would be! Haha it’s okay it brings us joy, right?
I hear you! It can be very expensive but yes it does bring a lot of joy. I hope you treat yourself to one. 💜
What are your favorite Daniel Smith Watercolors that you set up in your other palette? I primarily have DS, and would like to set up a palette like you have demonstrated in this tutorial using DS.
Your pallet looks like a dream. Very reasonably priced as well. Are you still enjoying it after a year of use?
Thank for sharing, does it perform like the ceramic? I am afraid it will bead as the plastic or the tin palette.
My pleasure Willie. Get in touch with Robert and I'm sure he can tell you how much it is for shipping. The link to his site is in the description.Thank you!
Louise, what are the main colours that you use?
Very interesting. I don't think I want such a large palette. Will this plastic eventually get stained?
It may Delores. That's why I like ceramic palettes. You can get a ceramic mixing plate for the middle which would work better.
I have separated colors, washable grainy, and permanent...use washable first, then use grainy and permanent...last
Thank you for the tip Charles.
Louise te veo todo el día, me fascinan tus pinturas y sobre todo lo didáctica que eres para enseñar!
Soy de Chile y me encantaría como saber como puedo comprar esos mezcladores redondos, que giran y se pueden montar, te agradecería muchísimo me contaras, eres extraordinaria, realmente una verdadera maestra
Gracias, María. El enlace está en la descripción del video 💕
Excellent... teaching to you comes effortless... do you have an online(paid) course for beginners
Thank you for this wonderful palette. I think its plastic?
My pleasure. Yes it's plastic.
I can serve cake on it ☺️
I've been on the fence for awhile concerning the Robax palettes. They seemed overwhelming and too many wells. I just received the 24 sloping well palette that you came up with and can't wait to choose my colors. I have wayyyy more tubes of colors than will fit into this, but it seems much more manageable. Besides, I'm trying to work from limited color palettes and triads in my paintings. I think mixing your colors from a limited palette is much more synergistic. Thanks for this video and suggestions.
I would love a palette like yours, but sadly the shipping costs are astronomical!! $US69.00 to Australia, putting it way out of my price range.....I hope a distributor becomes available in Australia soon
I know you’ve switched to Schmincke, but I’m wondering if you would still recommend these colors.
Some of them I don't use now Anne. I try to mix greens and violets now when I can.
Can someone provide the email to order the 15" dia. Ceramic round palette.
Thanks
How do we get it? Love it.
I just signed up for your Skillshare classes. I am so excited. I currently only have Dr Ph Martin Radiant Watercolors. They do not perform the same as pan and tube paints. I looking to invest into purchasing tubes. You seem to use mostly DS & WN brands. I am curious as to why you prefer those over some of the other brands. I am in the US and have access to most of the brands, but W&N is the most costly. Do you have a suggestion as to a good starting set of colors and brand. Or would it be better to purchase the tubes you suggest on Skillshare as I go along? As a side note I’ve also noticed that of the watercolorist youtubers I follow W&N, DS, & Sennelier seemed to be the most favored. I was set to purchase a large pan set of Sennelier (as I can get a big variety or colors at a very reasonable price via Jacksons), but I am second guessing myself. I appreciate any advice you may offer. Thanks, Tina
Hi Tina, Thank you, I'm happy that you have joined Skillshare. I hope you get a lot from the classes on there. I don't really prefer them over others. As you know good quality art supplies are expensive so I've purchased W & N and DS and that's what I continue to use. I'm happy with both of them so I haven't bought any other brands other than a few Schmincke colours when they were on sale. So I can't recommend any other brands because I haven't tried them myself. I also stick to these two brands because of all my students. They do a class of mine and many of them buy the colours and then they'll do another class of mine, and another etc, so I don't want to keep switching brands and colours for their sake. Both WN and DS are good quality paints and that's what you want right from the start. You only use a small amount and you don't waste watercolour paint like you do acrylic or oil colours. I hope that helps you decide what to do.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your time.
I think the idea of this palette is cool even tho it wouldn't suit me
Wonderful painting 😍❤️❤️
Relaxing to watch thanks for sharing my friend ❤️
New friend here please stay connected 🔔🔨
Thank you!
Love that pallette but I think they don't ship to my country. 😶
Send Robert an email and ask him Anne. 💕
Oh no! Just tried the palette link and it said "site cannot be reached" repeatedly! Anyone else having difficulty or have solution. I live in the states. Thank u.
That's weird Karen. I just tried it and the link works for me ok. If you Google 'Robax Engineering' you should be able to get there that way.
Awe thanks. U are so sweet. I tried that too and same : ( I also checked other sites to make sure it wasnt my phone and they pulled up fine. Thats so strange. Hopefully someone local may have same issue and responds to help : ) Ill keep trying. Thanks. Have a great night.
Karen Opet - I also live in the states and did not have a problem with the palette link. I noticed his location is in Florida, so maybe add that to your Google search.
Hi Louise. I’ve just found your channel as it came up in my feed. I’ve subbed because your videos seem so clear and instructional. One question I have is that I was always told to paint with a limited palette, say 2 of each primary a warm and a cool and to get all your colours from mixing them. This is supposed to keep your paintings harmonious. I understand it’s your style to have so many colours but do you feel it affects the final result. This is not in any way a criticism as I haven’t yet seen much of your work, just a general and genuine query
Hi! Thank you. Using a limited palette is always good practice and an excellent way to keep your painting harmonious. I rarely mix colours on my palette - I tend to use them as they are and I'll blend different colours on the palette. My paintings are usually created from a limited palette. I don't use all the colours on my palette in one painting. They are there ready for when I need them. You can view my paintings on my website. www.louisedemasi.com 💜
Dear Louise, hope you are still enjoying your palette, several months later!
Maybe you have already found a solution for cleaning plastic palettes, but just in case you haven't - you can rub the area with a polymer eraser, that will rub off most of the stains surprisingly well (I learned this tip from youtuber Eve Bolt - Art & Cats).
The one problem with this method, is that it's hard to wipe off the eraser dust, it very stubbornly sticks to the plastic. If the palette is empty (or has a removable tray like yours) it can just be taken to the sink and washed, but in case you have paint all around the mixing area (learning from my mistakes!) - be careful not to let the little eraser crumbs get in your paint, and use a kneaded eraser to dab and pick them all up! Hope this is helpful.
Thank you Louise for your wonderful paintings and explanations, you have stunning work on your website! :-)
Hi Tulla, Thank you very much for the helpful tips. 💜
You have an extensive list of W&N watercolors, and I considered buying some of the ones I don’t have (which is quite a few!). I can see where these colors are perfect for flowers. But what about the birds and other animals you paint? Which colors do you use for them? I’ve tried looking through your videos, and I can’t find anything that talks about actual colors students should have, as well as the ones they might want to add for convenience. From everything I’ve seen (same for acrylics), artists tend to have their own favorites. I love your work, so I would consider buying additional colors you recommend.
Thanks Anne. I use a lot of earthy colours when I paint animals but it depends on the animal. Birds come in so many different colours like flowers. I use a big range of colours for them. I don't mix a lot of colours so that's why I have a large range. Most of the mixing I do is on the paper rather than the palette.
I am intrigued by this palette, but I too prefer ceramic. I am concerned about staining - even some good plastic palettes eventually seem to succumb to staining. How is this one holding up for you? Recently I found something that may be worth a try. It doesn't have a cover, but the lid from a similar sized cardboard box would do (if it was just sitting on a desk). I found a round ceramic deviled egg tray on amazon.ca tinyurl.com/vnrskys (I'm in Canada). The wells look deep enough for sure and a little blob of paint would sit nicely on the apex of each teardrop shape.... Maybe????
Did he just design this for you or is this now available for sale for everyone?
He did design it for me but it is available for sale now. The link is in the description.
what is the cost of this palette ?
So can I get the palette?
Yes. The link is in the description.
