Changing my Studio Watercolor Palette for 2024

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Today I'm sharing how to change and update your watercolor palette so it is in tune with where you are in your art journey. The first 18 watercolor palette is from 2020 and a lot has changed since then in my personal and my creative life. I'm sharing the color choosing process I used for picking the correct watercolors that fit my need. I'm also swatching the new palette so you can see the changed from past to present. Hope you enjoy the artistic journey!

What a great palette! I appreciate the explanations of your choices and examples of how you use them.
I'm so happy you found that information helpful. I like to explain why and what in a lot of my choices and processes as you know. Thanks for watching!
I really look forward to seeing your mixing chart with this palette! Very happy to hear you sound so enthused ^_^. I had my sister laughing at me earlier this week with my own geeking out enthusiasm to the new colours I'd received for Valentine's day :D.
Colors just make us all happy and excited don't you think? I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness!! Your explanation of why you’ve made your changes is refreshing! So clear!
I love your color choices! I’m rethinking my own! I’d love to have you share a video on mixing these beautiful colors ❤
Yes to a rethink, it is just so powerful. After taping this, the next morning I just looked at all the beautiful new colors and smiled. What a lovely way to start the day!
Another awesome video! I really appreciate your teaching style. Thank you for sharing so much information with grace and joy.
Sharing art, creativity and inspiration always brings me joy, thanks for watching!
Love your palette! Listening to your reasoning for color choices has me thinking. Excited to see your mixing chart.
Teresa, thank you so much, glad it has you pondering!
Loved your colour choices & explanations. It was also great fun guessing which colours you'd choose. I was sitting here saying to the screen.... I knew Kelly would choose that one! I know, I'm a weirdo, but as you were explaining what you were after and why, I could just picture your choices. I would love to see you put them all into a large chart. So excited to see what you do with all of those beautiful paints. TFS.
You made me laugh with picking my colors, love that so much! I am in the process of mixing the big color chart now and I have to say, this is the most intriguing and beautiful palette I have ever chosen. I can't wait to share!
Perfect palette for northern nature painting.
It is rich, deep and full of moody colors. I just finished the big mixing color chart and I love the hues it created. Thanks so much for watching!
What a surprising palette ! I love it and i'm very curious to see your mixing chart 🍃
Thank you so much and yes, it is so different than the first one! I just finished the big mixing color chart and oh my, it is rich, bold and so decadently full of lovely colors. Look for the mixing chart at the first of March.
These are lovely colors. I love the Apricot. And the Naples Yellow is stunning. I could never get rid of Buff Titanium as I think it creates the prettiest colors and looks nice on its own. How exciting for you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I'm still worried about the Naples Yellow, it is really a beautiful color but quite opaque. The Buff Titanium switch out is kind of exciting since it is a different colored buff and will take some time getting use to.
I love hearing your joy and enthusiasm for color! This looks like a fantastic palette. Can’t wait to see your mixing chart!
Thank you Allison! I just finished it last night and it is so lovely with rich, deep colors that feel very decadent. My 100 day project is going to be fantastic looking with this color palette.
Very interesting palette color choices, I am so inspired. Thank you.
I am so happy to hear that these colors inspired you! Hope you are re-evaluating your palette today and see what is and is not working for your 2024 artistic journey.
This really hit home with me. Luckily I already have most of the DaVinci paints. I love their Titanium Buff. Makes such beautiful mixes.
I am loving the experience of working with this new palette already and it's only been a couple of days. I am in the process of the gigantic mixing chart and the Titan Buff is magical. But my favorite mixes are coming from the Red Tint, which is really funny but the tones are gorgeous.
@@kellyhoernig Have added to the "list'". Wasn't interested at all until I saw you playing with it.
I use dawn power wash on my palettes, I think it has alcohol in it. I find the reds stain and the DP gets it out. It also takes off the perm marker. Love your vids!
I rub toothpaste on my palettes when they stain, comes right off. Thank you for loving my videos and welcome to In the Studio!
what a gorgeous palette ☺☺☺☺
Thank you so much and love your new avatar image Chantelle!
Your new palette is just gorgeous! I love it!
Thank you so much! I started the big color mixing chart yesterday and I can't wait to share the beauty this palette creates!
I would love to see you mixing colors!
Thank you for letting me know, I will be doing a color chart in March.
I just found your channel and have been binge watching your channel. I absolutely love your videos! You are so easy to listen to, get right to the point, and have such great information! Where do you purchase your paints? It seems so hard to find a source that carries all of the colors I'm looking for.
Thank you for finding me and welcome to In the Studio! I have been collecting watercolor brands for the past several years and purchase them from everywhere. I usually head to the brands for their specific watercolors - DaVinci, Cheap Joes for American Journey, Jackson Art (Isaro, Roman Szmal, Jacksons Art) because I can't get them in the US but Dick Blick is where I mostly purchase from for Holbein, Daniel Smith, Schmincke and Van Gogh. I wish there was one place for all the brands but there isn't unfortunately.
Loved the video, gorgeous choice of colors!! Have you ever tried Derwent Graphitint? I have my eye on that set, all muted colors! Can’t wait for the day 2 video in your 100 days project!
Thank you so much and I will be sharing the 100 day project periodically to keep on track for myself. The Derwent set it nice, I just haven't experimented with it at all.
Gorgeous colors! Very original palette.. it would indeed be great to see some mixes with them! I am starting to appreciate Da Vinci more and more, but I don’t find them easily in Europe 😢
Thank you for letting me know you would be interested in the mixing chart, I will add it to my video list. I totally understand because I have the same problem finding Roman Szmal and Isaro here in the States.
Just ordered some of my first DaVinci colors. Excited about trying some of them…when I merged into western watercolor a few years ago..my Chinese tutor, who had been trying out some western paints and even put some through his spectrometer? He’s at a university and he didn’t believe some paints were what they claimed to be…you can probably guess what he was testing. 😂. He yelled at me to stay away from “the liars” and stick with all single pigments. 😂. Easier said then done for someone who has fallen in love with granulation and separation. I actually started making/mulling my own mixes (and single pigments like PB33😍). There’s many differences between Asian painting and western-but one of the biggest-we don’t do “wet on wet” (supposedly…I’ve been able to do it to some extent on double xuan😂🤫). As for granulation..one of the reasons Prof Chen was excited about natural mineral and gem paints is that’s what most ancient pigments were made of. My first tutor, my wonderful Lili, 98 this year and she taught here in the US for 30yrs. Lili gave me her very old vials of both paint chips and some pigments “waiting for binder”. A few-malachite (mineral green and blue), gamboge, hematite, manganese..all granulate. I have a fairly large vial of a very pale pink REAL seashell and coral powder. They use it for flesh tones in Asian painting. I already have some chips made with traditional binders…so, planning on attempting my own western “shell pink”. We shall see!
Regardless, my best friend, a retired art professor and got me a labcoat, says I have a pigment addiction. I LOVE attempting dupes of paints too expensive for me…working on a new Rockwell color I think you’d REALLY like..it’s in the new Charm 3 set and is called Blue Iris. A STUNNING mix….that I’m still trying to figure out. It uses PV19, pv23 and PB36. There are a lot of different pv19’s and PB36’s!! I ordered one of DaVinci’s cobalt turquoise AND a tube of DS Cerulean Chromium. I’ve also got 3 different PV19’s-a more fire engine red. I’m hoping I can figure it out this weekend.. I’ve attempted it 6 times right now..just haven’t found the same granulation and separation-especially the blue. Really looking forward to playing with them
The idea of handmaking paint from pigment is just magical to me. Especially knowing you create the mix and the amount of each color, so creative! Enjoy the process and wonder at your hands, what a beautiful experience!
@@kellyhoernig I’m losing my vision due to a genetic disorder and the cosmos/Gods refusal to get back to me on a replacement body..😁. I have a really hard time doing Gongbi style-very detailed, precise painting…and recently even freestyle, xieyi, or what we might call “loose” painting-is hard. I have good and bad days, as does everyone. (Dr Kitty Leela, my ginger 1/2 Maine Coon is taking good care of me…when she’s not trying to steal my CBD gummies…😹)
Regardless of everything, one thing I CAN do is mull paint! In fact I have to make some more “hummingbird wing gray”
This weekend (PB35 + PR233) for my daughter who normally has me put a teeny drop of my Kuretake sumie silver ink in hers…she wants to try the gold. My bestie loves the halo’d green I get with PB33 + real PO49…I’m not a fan of the golden halo, personally. BUT, I got some more PB33 to try it with an ochre, PY43. From testing it, it appears close to the same sage green without a halo.
As I said though..it’s bugging me that I tried to dupe that Rockwell’s Blue Iris..and just can’t get it, especially the PB36 precipitate. A friend in Canada is going to send me a small pan of it (a letter with a 1/4 pan is a lot cheaper than Rockwell’s $28 postage 🤯😖). She just got hers yesterday and is still playing with it herself…but just looking at it..we still can’t figure out which PV19 and which PB36 they’re using so we can “tip” it (more purple, more pink, more blue)
Once we figure it out I think it will be one of those colors like Moonglow or Artemis that you can tilt and use in MANY ways.
Anyways, thanks for the comment..as someone with her MS in microbiology, friends tease me that “you got old and traded in your bugs for pigments”. 😂. Something like that. I wish I had found this many years ago though…my colleagues probably would have preferred me testing paints rather than contaminated water I snuck off military bases..🤷🏼♀️😁
❤ Thank you so much for taking us through your palate choices. I find them fascinating and it is so interesting what you do with them. (The pastels surprised me!) I'm going to have a look at that yellow gray. One of the first things I always do with a new palette is mix my yellows with black to see what I can get. I love the greens and 'yellow grey' that come out.❤
I'm so glad you found this change fascinating and helpful with the way I use them. Yellow Grey is so beautiful, it has quickly become a color I can't live without on any palette of mine. Thank you for watching!
@kellyhoernig Yes, I looked at the Pigment information, and it is py 42 (yellow ochre, and I believe it's used for a Naples yellow) mixed with pbk 6 and titanium White. In my initial experiments, I mixed whatever black was on my palate with all of the 'yellows'. The ochre mix seem to have the least amount of green in them. Do you have any videos out that use this color specifically?
@@windywednesday4166 no, it is just a staple I grab often. I will try to do something a little more specific for you in May so you can see it shine.
@@kellyhoernig You are so sweet. I'll look out for it. TBH, anything you do with any of the colors is amazing to me. ✨️
No stopp, i got it, thanks screenshot😂❤
I will be adding all the colors today, I just couldn't get it done yesterday.
Nail polish remover will also remove Sharpie.
I didn't know that, thank you!
❤❤❤
Thank you glad you liked it!
Wow! Just found you and subscribed! I am in love with your new palette! Where can I find the American Joirney paints?? I was looking for the apricot. Please help?
Thank you for finding me and welcome to In the Studio! American Journey is made by DaVinci for Cheap Joes art stores. You can find them at www.cheapjoes.com happy shopping!
@@kellyhoernig Thank you for your kindnesd in helping me out! ❤️
@@mariatriesart8389 you are very welcome, glad I could help.
Ohhhh, i tryed to write your colores you choose, but i got weird. Van gogh, da vinci, ds🤯. Can you write us the colores please. Please. I love your taste. ❤
My color taste is pretty eclectic sometimes, glad you enjoyed them! I will be adding the exact colors later today.
Looking forward to the mixing ‘chart’ reveal. When you came out with the tip, I thought you’d had second thoughts and concocted your own version of random grey with the remnants of your previous palette vs.saving them! When you were deliberating over the final row of colours, I was sure you’d have a version of Potter’s Pink in your possibles! Have fun with this big change!
@@jenneke2 I did consider Potter's Pink but it is just too fussy sometimes and I'm impatient on most days LOL I should have thought of that, I love Random Grey!
