Hi Leslie. I found one of your tiny art set videos a few days ago and have been ordering supplies ever since. I'm excited to start these little landscapes after too many years of having no time.' You have inspired me to make time in 2024 and enjoy the peaceful calm that art always brought me. That's a lovely gift, so thank you! P.s. I live in Switzerland, so i should ha e lots of inspiration! ❤
Switzerland has always been on my bucket list. It looks sooo beautiful! I hope you love your tiny palette as much as I love mine. I’ll be making more videos about my supplies and tips for plein air painting in the coming year. 😊
Well, come on over, girlfriend! I'll board and feed you and you can give me advice on my artwork in exchange! 😊
@@hollyblossomWHBe careful, I might take you up on that offer! 😅
@@LeslieStroz Do it! ☺️
Great review! I bought one on Amazon for $6.00 a few years ago. I liked it until I lost it.
Then I DIY’d my own out of wood scrap, spare neodymium magnets and gel nail polish. Then I wood burned my own design on it. Super easy project for anyone with a piece of wood and a drill! I enjoy making art supplies as much as making art.
That sounds absolutely perfect! I wish I was better at woodwork.
Wow, now that sounds interesting too. I may have my husband help me give that a go. 👍
mhm spare neodymium magnets🫡
@@art-is-awen8842 you heard right. Spare. Anytime a fridge magnet or anything else with magnets break, I save them. Because I know there will be a future use. Like a tiny palette!😁
I start college this year. So far the plan is to do engineering but I’m minoring in fine arts and got into your videos as a result of my recommendations. I love your little palettes, I got one for my birthday in August after being inspired by you and I keep everything in a little pink pencil bag. I’ve been painting for 15 years and i feel like I learn something new everyday!
That’s wonderful! Keeping a smaller art kit is a good way to encourage yourself to draw and paint because it will be easier to keep it up without getting overwhelmed. Best of luck in your studies. 😊
I love your vibe and find you so inspiring. ✨♥️
Happy new year Leslie. Thank you for a very thorough review of tiny palettes, and your limited color palette recommendations. I just discovered you on IG and you have inspired me to start my daily tiny painting practice, perfectly timed for the new year. I shared one of your posts with my daughter and she gave me a tiny palette for Christmas! So no more excuses.
What a thoughtful gift from your daughter! I’m thinking of doing a drawing tips series soon, and definitely more painting adventures! 😊
just an idea for your 3 well tiny palette. quinacridone pink, hansa yellow medium and thalo blue green shade. they can make almost any color. its amazing! have fun! love this video!!
Ooh. Which brand? I will definitely investigate! 😊
So far the brands don't seem to matter, its those 3 colors that can make almost anything. I couldn't believe it at first. Have a lovely day!@@LeslieStroz
Thank you so much for sharing your art and reviews for these mini palettes. I have been wanting the GoDraw for some time now and after watching this video, you helped me decide to buy one! Thank you! ❤️
I’m glad this helped! 😊
Your videos are so calming. Thank you....xx 🌺
I love your videos! You always make me excited to create art! ❤
That makes me so happy. 🥰
Thank you for the detailed reviews! I've seen several tiny palettes on the market, and it's great to know what to look for as well as some great brands to consider.
You’re welcome. When I got mine there was only the original so it was easy, but now there are so many imitations it must be overwhelming for artists looking for one.
Just start watching, let me grab a coffee 😁
Thank you d'avance 🙏😉
Bises and good soirée du réveillon Leslie 😉😘👍
I’ll go grab mine too! ☕️
These are all so ADORABLE 😊😊😊😊
And SO much fun to use!! ❤
Beautiful tutorial❣️
I love your tiny sketchbook! Beautiful work!
Thanks, Lindsay! I’ve become pretty addicted to painting tiny. 😅
This is fabulous! ❤
Thank you! ❤
Lovely presentation, Leslie! I’m quite taken by the go draw tiny palette, as you’ve been demonstrating them for a few months now, and I appreciate the breakdown of features that you like about the brand. Just before finding your channel some months back now, I purchased the small ceramic palettes from Etchr, which I do enjoy but are quite heavy (for me) to carry around. But maybe I just have to give it a bit more time!? In any case, thank you so much for your You Tube videos. I get a lot out of watching you as you choose, draw and paint your miniature plain air pieces! All the best for the New Year!
I also have the Etchr ceramics palettes. They are lovely but I don’t think I’d personally travel with them. These tiny palettes are nice because they’re light and easy to hold and carry. I also like that I can finish a painting relatively quickly. ❤
Excellent information!
I love it the tiny palettes and happy new year
Thanks! Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Omg hi I’m finally first !!!!!!! I love your videos keep it going!!
Thanks so much! Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you for the information. It's very much appreciated. 😊
My pleasure. 😊
All the pallets are so beautiful ❤️ and Happy New Year 🎊🎊🎊
🍀
Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you so much for all your information! 👏🏼👏🏼
You’re so welcome! 😊
Happy new year leslie!!!!
Happy New Year, Sean! 🎉
Thank you!
great video, cute little things ^^
Thanks for the detailed review! I currently use two DIY palette kits but I'd love to buy a godraw or Blue Star palette in the future.
Happy New Year and thank you for a wonderful year of sharing your art knowledge which helped me tremendously
DIY palettes are also so special because they are handmade. Happy New Year to you! 🎉
Hi Leslie! Thank you for leading me to your full review. I deleted my comment because I do see that your full review is very thorough and definitely understandable, so I deleted my comment on your short. You have explained the differences very adequately in this full video over your short. Thank you for doing such thorough comparisons. You have convinced me, a skeptic, that I want to invest in the godraw brand one.
Thanks so much for commenting here; I worried I’d somehow offended you. I’m glad this was helpful. I always try to show various options for different price points because not everyone can afford the best (been there!). I also always want to be honest if I think a product is inferior. If you like the cheaper tiny palette I think you’ll love the GoDraw. They are sooo lovely to hold and paint with. 🤗
@@LeslieStroz oh no, you didn’t offend me, but I like to admit when I’m wrong! You were concise and explained everything well in your message and video.
I placed my order for the godraw bundle and I’m excited to try it out. Seeing the difference in sizing comparisons along with all the other options out there really helped me.
Keep making the awesome content you do!
Thank you! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. ❤
@@LeslieStrozokay, my godraw version came and oh my gosh. I was such a skeptic, but I’m a convert for sure. You raved about the quality, but it is so apparent the differences both have. This palette is definitely worth the higher cost. And the watercolor sketchbook. Gah.
Thank you so much for your passion for the godraw palettes. They are truly beautiful.
Nope would rather buy direct from a single maker, will never buy from Amazon, ali or temu. Thanks for introducing me to these!
Thank you for this video!! All very helpful information!
I do wish I got this just before Christmas though, I bought some palettes from Amazon, and the paint is just draining into the wood :( I'm going to have to repair it with some epoxy or something, but that really is a bummer...
Oh that’s a shame. I’m so sorry. I did make a similar video to this last January, but this is an updated and more thorough one. I’m sorry you didn’t see it! 😢
Lovely! I wish I had waited for this video before buying a cheap one on Etsy 😅
Awww. Yeah, there are so many choices it’s hard to know which to get. If all I had was that cheaper one I don’t think I’d use it. 😢
That’s the tiniest sketchbook I’ve ever seen!
happy new year!!!!🎉❤🐲
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉
Hi Leslie, this was a great video thank you. Was really excited to check out the Go Draw sets - only to discover that the “worldwide” web store doesn’t deliver to Australia or New Zealand 😭😂hopefully this will change in the future. In the meantime, I’d already ordered one from Temu so RIP me 🥴 love your drawings. New fan - I found u on Instagram. 2 of my 2024 goals is to get out amongst nature and practice my watercolour painting which I loved doing as a child 🧡thanks for the inspiration x
Oh what a shame you can’t get them over there! I’d say the Natsume handmade one would be a good second choice, but if you’ve already ordered from Temu wait and see. The one you got might be fine for you. Or maybe you’ll hate painting small and not want to invest. 😅
Loved this video. I have several of these and have considered the Blue Star but the palettes are too small.
Yes, I’m curious to see whether they are too small even for me, but if they are I’ll improvise! 😊
Very nice video
Thank you so much for this thorough review! I bought one of the natsume pallets after seeing you use these small pallets in your videos. I opted for it because it was a little less expensive than the go draw pallet. It's good to know that the extra expense could be worth it.
I found a pallet that's really similar to the natsume one on Amazon for less. When it arrived, if I hadn't already put paint in the natsume pallet I could have mixed up the paint wells (they're exactly the same size, same color epoxy with beveled edges, and the magnets work similarly on both of them). The only difference I found is that the Amazon one has the magnets that hold it as a pallet placed slightly higher in the wood - meaning the Amazon pallet spins easier than the natsume pallet.
We'll see how the Amazon one holds up in comparison...
Actually I think maybe the Amazon listing I found has one of your videos on the page...the company is doing something awfully fraudulent there! 😡 I recognize the distinct concentric square pattern where the clip goes on the pallet - it's definitely your hands and one of Julia's go draw pallets in that video!...
I wouldn't have bought that pallet if I had noticed before I purchased it - it's under the more "videos for this product" section on my mobile app, so I didn't notice it. I just saw that it was on sale for $10 (USD - I'm the States) and I could tell it should have beveled edges in the wells from the photos.
The company is called Saint Kang if you feel like looking for it and telling them to take your RUclips short off their posting.
Thanks so much for telling me. I’ll chase it up. I really hate when companies steal my images and videos to sell their products. I feel super protective of Julia and her design. I also understand that people have different circumstances and some can’t get them delivered to their countries. It’s a tricky one for sure!
@@GoblinGhouls i was just looking at that amazon one! I noticed their description says its water protected then two lines later says "this item does not like water and will warp" and thought... that kind of defeats the purpose of a watercolor palette, no? .. lol i noticed other things in their listing that seemed..off ...glad to have come across your comment to confirm my suspicion. it does look like leslies videos. everything seems pretty shady with it
The blue star unit reminds me of the Whiskey painters.
But wood!! And with an integrated place for the paper. 😊
Thank you for the comparitive video. I have wanted one of these for a long time. You covered all but one brand on my list. Whiskey painters has a 15 well tiny palette also on Etsy. How does it compare & have you tried it? Is it a similar thickness? Are the paint wells contoured? Are the magnets strong enough for the size? They also have little sketch books. Paper quality compared to the ones in this video?
Great review. You raise wonderful detail points. Thank you again.
I don’t really consider Whiskey Painters a “tiny palette.” I do have one of theirs though and you can see it on my “Show&Tell” playlist. I love mine but since getting the tiny palette and the invention of aqua brushes I sadly don’t use it much. It is lovely though. I will soon do a long video of ALL of my watercolour palettes, big and small! 😊
the ones I got on amazon have more magnets than the one you showed. (2 on the inside instead of 1) also I filled the well with a little bit of resin and it made the bevel.
I’m glad you were able to make it work for you! I think there are probably new companies all the time offering different versions.
The best video! I love anything made tiny but functional. I cant find the onkberry sketchbooks anywhere though, do you have a link please?
If you go to their Instagram page they have a link, but it’s also on the description here. 😊
I loved this video!! I don’t have the two transparent oxide colors. Yet, anyway lol. Would Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber work? What would be your suggestion for alternatives for those two colors?
Burnt sienna is definitely. Good replacement for transparent red oxide. I’d probably choose yellow ochre or raw sienna over burnt umber. The latter makes lovely shadows but dominates in mixes and muddies them up more.
@@LeslieStrozthank you!!
Happy New year 🎉 I've ordered a go draw and I really really hope it will pass through. I'm in Germany...
Oooh! I hope so too! I believe they are mailed from North America so it should make it. I’ve ordered a few times recently to the U.K. and they’ve all made safely. ❤
Ah that's good to know! We've mailed before and she said, well I believe it was Julia, that she sends it at our own risk. I just really didn't want to get a counterfeit palette.
@@sunshinebookstarotI totally understand! I’m hoping yours arrives soon! ❤
Thank you 😊
Now this is a video
Awww ❤
Hello Leslie,
which is the daniel smith paint set u are using? ( the one you show with the go draw pallet)
It’s their Watercolors Essentials set plus transparent red oxide and transparent yellow oxide. 👩🏻🎨
I just got the 12 color palette from blue star crafts, and i absolutely adore it, but i find i need some practice working at such a small scale.
It’s even smaller than the Go Draw. It gets easier with practice. 😊
Hi. What colors do you put in this palette? Love it. Just received one based on your video. Thanks.
Hi Leslie, please can you tell that where to get that wrist band you put on your wrist when you’re plein air painting to wipe the brush?? Are they called simply wrist bands?? Thanks!!
Yes! They are just athletic wrist bands. I’ve linked them in the description. 😊
@@LeslieStroz aww thank you so much. And thank you so much for your educational/informative videos. They’re really very helpful.
Hello thank you ever so much for that nice tour through the pallets .since how many years are you using the pallet from go_draw by Julia? Wishing you a wonderful 2024 many greetings from Christiane 😊😊❤
Happy New Year, Christiane! I started using this tiny palette in February 2022… it’s almost my anniversary! 😅❤
Have you ever tried or reviewed the Etcher tiny palette?
I do have it. I’ll make a video with it soon.
@@LeslieStroz can’t wait to see it!
جميل جداً💗🌸✨
I noticed GoDraw has two different sizes of the 15 well version. One 70x70 cm and the other 50x50cm
Ah, yes that’s true! The smaller one is the one here. I do have the larger one too (I should have included it!).
I wish I have this much patience & sincerity in whatever I’m doing 😂
Maybe you just haven’t found the right thing yet that calls to you? 😊
I have a question, won't the water colorpaint fall out if it dries?
I haven’t had that problem with the Daniel Smith, though the Winsor & Newton burnt umber did shrink and fall out, but I added a drop of water and reattached the paint cake. 😊
where can i buy one?
Where do you get that kind of clip from?
American grocery stores. They are clips for food storage.
Where did u get that tiny clipboard?!
I got it at London Graphic Centre in London, but you can find them online. Google “Penco clipboards.”
@@LeslieStroz thank you 😊
She’s right cheaper not same quality I’m getting these ones instead
it is very sad that you are using Russian goods during Russia's invasion in Ukraine
I understand your feelings. I also understand that citizens can’t always be held responsible for the decisions of their politicians. She was a friend before the war, working hard to support herself, and has had to watch while others stole her design and profited from it. I have offered alternatives here for people to make their own decisions.
It's very sad you don't use brains
Good for you! ❤ We can't generalize all humans, according to where they're from.
