"Weighs no more than a fairy" - OMG I love this.
🧚❤️
I am a HUGE ArtToolkit fan. I have a lot of these palettes in various sizes and I love them. Their quality is amazing and their pans will never rust. I bought my first ArtToolkit palette years ago and have loved seeing their line grow. I bought my first Rosemary & Co brushes from ArtToolkit in the U.S. about 5 years ago when they started carrying them. It’s great to hear that Rosemary & Co now carries the ArtToolkit palettes for those folks in the UK who want them.
P.s. I use a Sharpie to write the name of the paint on the bottom of the pans so I can switch them out or change the order and still know what’s in each pan.
I’m the opposite, I’ve been a fan of Rosemary brushes for years but only recently learned about Art Toolkit. I don’t think any video can capture how charming, fun, streamlined and clever they are, but I tried my best. Yes, I’ll do the Sharpie thing! I usually do that too, but hadn’t yet. 😊
Hi Terri 👋🏼
@@awatercolourist - Hi there! Hope you’re having a great day!
@@TerriChannel Thanks! Likewise 😊.
I echo your sentiments on Sodalite Genuine- it’s the perfect Payne’s Grey. Try mixing Sodalite with your yellows and reds because it makes deep and moody greens and purples.
Thanks, I will! It’s definitely one of my new favourite colours. 😊
It was so fun to follow along as you went through the steps of setting up all your palettes, from choosing colors, to arranging your pans and pouring paint! Your layouts are inspiring and we so appreciate your explanation and tips. We look forward to seeing what you create with your palettes out in the world! 🎨💕
Wow!! I have seen the ArtToolKit and on my wish list ... As a newbie watercolor/sketch person in my senior years and semi-retired so adjusting to that budget ... At any rate, I love learning about colors, mixing and pigments so this was educational and I've saved. I am also a Sarah Burns fan :)!
I’d suggest watching videos about all of the different gear to see which fits you best before making decisions. Lightweight is best for travel painting, but you can make your own kits too. 😊
@@LeslieStroz Thank you, I will! I currently have the GoDraw 11 color and a Pocket Painter using very basic colors until I learn more ... and both are excellent to go out and about with!
Omg this is such an amazing collaboration! I’d love to get another toolkit but the international shipping has kept me from doing it! Thank you so much for sharing the news!! 😊
You’re so welcome! I think it’s a great collaboration too. It’s often difficult to get good US supplies over here (and vice versa). 😊
I would love if Rosemary & Co would carry the pouches as well.
I love my Art Toolkit palettes, agree wholeheartedly with your review! I have one pocket palette that I have filled with mixing pans. I switch that from bag to bag and take it with me. I find I need a bit more mixing space (especially when using the demi or pocket palette, I’m usually fine with the folio) and an extra pocket palette takes barely any space. I use them all at home or on the go 😊.
Thank you for so many ideas on putting together many different palettes.
You’re welcome! 😊
I love my Holbein gouache. I have several brands and Holbein is wonderful!
Seconded! Holbein Artists' Gouache is great. I like Winsor and Newton, but I think I may like the Holbein a bit more. I'm planning on trying out Schmincke Horadam Artist Gouache at some point too.
Those are the ones I’ve had my eye on for awhile. Thanks for recommending them! 😊
Hello Leslie, that was a very nice swatching experience. With the very nice flat boxes you got. I liked the hint with the glycerin for the gauche paint. Yes the colour of the cow is the same as in your pallet.
I like your choice if you have made
good experience with the colour you chose that is fine I have also noticed that I use my favorit colours. So have a nice time with your traveling sets.
I would like to know what oil paints you use that you can mix together with water. Thank you very much greetings Christiane 😊😊
Totally agree with you about Rosemary and co, love, love, love them!
Oh my goodness those palettes are so small and cute! Also how have I not heard of Rosemary and Co until now?! Their stuff looks great
As for other gouache brands I recommend Holbein
Rosemary and Co are so great, and the palettes are the chef’s kiss!! Thanks for the Holbein recommendation. I’ll definitely check them out. 😊
I have a couple of these (one the smallest and one the middle size) and also some other units that are similar (but cheaper). I use them all the time when out and about. But what a delight to see I can get the pans and from a business near to me - who makes the best brushes. :) I shall save for the larger palette as well. Thank you so much for this. And thank you Rosemary and Co for making these available for us in the UK. And coincidentally I have on one of my Rosemary&Co T shirt today. I strongly recommend an R13 from Rosemary.
Wait, there are T-shirts?? Oooh! ❤ I have a few of the cheaper, similar palettes too and definitely prefer the Art Toolkit palettes. They have a bit of magic about them that the others don’t. It’s going to be so much easier to travel overseas now! 😊
Nickel aso Yellow and quin burnt orange make quin gold! And if you ad a little Ultramarine you have a very Nice mosgreen ( undersea green from DSmith)
Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna truly are best friends. They make such quaint, but strong mixes.
Thank u once again for making me hunger y to paint again. Now I want a ArtToolKit pallet. I ve been using cheap eye shadow pallets-ugh! Time to level up. Love to watch your process of filling pans & swatching.
Love the little palettes so perfect for travel.
Yes they are! 😊
Watercolor lasts forever. I have tubes from the 70s that I got from my granny. She wasn't using them as she prefers acrylics.
I’ve had some dry out over the years, but I suspect it’s when caps weren’t put on properly. They do last so long.
I love love love my R&Co small dagger brush.
Love this Leslie thank you for sharing 💜
You’re welcome! 😊
I love Arttoolkit! I have a sweet bright green demi palette from them, as well as the other sizes. They have a great 2nds sale in the Soring. I agree on Quin Burnt Orange...I've never warmed up to it. I prefer Transparent Red Oxide , my favorite color, or an orange leaning Burnt Sienna. I love Jadeite, and their Serpentine as well. Lovely video, thanks.
I have several of these pallets and love them! I want you to know that I use jade green and love it! I find it works perfectly for the evergreen trees that I paint. I also reach for it when I paint cypress trees. It’s a beautiful color and one of my favorite. I also love lavender! Especially for shadows. It’s great to add some shade underneath windows and ledges. It’s a beautiful color for wildflower’s too. I’m a member of patreon so I am excited to see your mixing video over there! I’ve never tried rosemary and co but I think I’d better buy a travel set and see how I like them. I love escoda a lot and I’ve always equated rosemary and co to their level of brushes. Thanks for the video!
Yes, the Jadeite is a really lovely convenience colour! I need to remind myself to actually use it instead of mixing my own. 😊 That said, I may be a new convert to Prussian blue… I can get sooo many beautiful mixes with that! I’ll try the lavendar in shadows, but even if I never use it, the colour in my palette brings me so much joy. I’ve finished editing the colour swatching portion this morning and it’s uploading now, so it will be up on Patreon in another hour or so. 💃❤
I use a little bit more glycerin and it makes my paints super easy to rewet. I love it.
I really enjoyed this video❤ Thank you so much
My pleasure! 😊
Schminke and Holbein both make fantastic gouaches. And I also like their caps better than W&N. I have had a few W&N gouaches dry up because i unknowingly screwed the cap on and it wasn't perfectly aligned. I find it hard to perfectly align their tops. But all three companies make great gouache in my opinion. My fav may be Schminke but it's a pretty tight race.
The one thing I’d say about art toolkit is the maintenance. My pans have started to stick to the magnet and rip the magnet so I’m not sure how long they will last. Saying that they are so incredibly convenient that I’m willing to buy them again.
Oh that’s such a shame. They do recommend putting some oil on the magnet (it’s on one of their information sheets). Maybe that will help with the next one! 😊
That tool you are swatching with is the “eradicator” brush. That’s Rosemary and Co.’s scrubber brush. So it will dig in deeper to pigment.
Rhodonite Genuine is not lightfast; I believe it was tested by Kimberly Crick. And if you love manganese blue, Holbein makes a lightfast version called Manganese Blue Nova (one of my most favourite colours!).
Thanks for sharing! It was fun watching!
I’m not surprised about Rhodonite Genuine! It’s hard to find good lightfast pinks that aren’t toxic. Thanks for the tip about Holbein Manganese blue. I’ll check it out. 😊
The art toolkit palettes are my favorite!
I’ve been testing the Daniel smith and m graham gouache in mine, loving them so far.
How is the M Graham doing for you? I love it but worried it might not do as well in the more shallow pans.
@@LeslieStrozI had poured a couple of pans without adding anything and they cracked a little but didn’t fall out vs my Holbein gouache which cracked and fell out before adding glycerin. I tried adding watercolor blending medium to the m graham and it cracked less. They rewet beautifully.
I was floored when you said your yellow was empty and showed the tube. 🤯I would have gotten more out of that tube! 😂
Thankyou, I learned a lot.
Your voice is so soothing 😊
Thank you! 😊
I have a yellow question. What is your go to primary yellow? Do you prefer a cool lemon and a warm lemon? And if so what is your warm yellow? Hansa Yellow Medium? Or another color or brand?
Hello ❤from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
I have Jadeite in DS watercolour...i paint a lot of trees...Cascade green. Well, I like moonglow for little abstracts.
When you use the mixing area and mixing pans do the watercolors bead at all? What is the mixing surface made out of? Is a coated paper sticker, plastic? Thanks.
Nice; thanks for sharing ❤
You’re welcome! 😊
I have used gouache in pans for over 25 years. some folks say not to set gouache up in pans, but for me it is the only way i paint. i’ve never used Glycerin or anything else to mix with it. but that looks like a good idea to try. i paint with Schmincke Horadam and Holbein. i like m. graham too. the one paint color that i love but can not set up in a pan is Holbein Opera…. but maybe i will try to set it up with glycerin. thanks for the tip.
I've not heard of this brand before, but those palettes look so pretty! I think sandi hester has one and she filled it with gouache instead 🥰
I filled the Demi palette with gouache here. I’m excited to be able to easily carry gouache with me. 😊
Looks like you’re playing Tetris!
It felt like it! 😅
Love PO48 😍😍. Mixes? Hmm… I’m rather precious about using it, especially since it became discontinued. I see it more as a vibrant PR101 or PR102 than a mixing colour.
That’s exactly how I’ve always felt about it too! It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one. I suspect this will be one I’ll use a bit but then not purchase again. 😊
@@LeslieStroz PO48 is a pigment that I love and see so much potential. Unfortunately, it is not available where I live and customs are too much of a hassle to get it from abroad. I managed to get paints past customs only once. That is why I am very careful about using it.
What a lovely video. I’m intrigued by your hand held easel… I’ve never seen anything like it. Would you be able to share the details on it?
Sure! It’s a super lightweight board made & sold on Etsy by a company called Just Go Sketching. 😊
I love art tool kit so much! I have ordered a few things from them as well!
Love the video as always❤
I have a question, how do you take care of paint tubes? Mine don't open at all and when I try to open they break and all the paint comes out 😑
Also if we Spitz water on metal palettes aren't they gonna rust? How do you take care of them?
Thank you Leslie 🥰🥰🥰😁
Truly a pleasure to see these 3 beautiful palettes and how you put care and give your feedbacks and feelings about all those awsome colors while you fill them 😊😊🥰
Bises
About watercolor if you had time take a look at Kremer Pigmente it's a german brand I'm pretty sure you could be interested 😉👍 Bises
Thanks so much! Setting up these videos brought me so much joy. I will check out the Kremer Pigmente watercolours! 😊
@@LeslieStroz you brought joy to me too 😁😉👍
🤔☝️the products look awesome! I especially love the put it all in your pocket tiny set.question is? how does it feel? are the edges good?or are they sharp? 🤔☝️💡 thinking wouldn't it be cool to make like a lil makeup type round set? ☕👍😎🙂
Great questions! The edges do not feel sharp to me. They’re all super lightweight, even when filled. It’s a totally different experience to using my other metal palettes.
Aso Yellow is a Nice bright Yellow and light fast (D Smith)
Hi Leslie! What size are the pointed round brushes are you using in this video? They look so lovely, I’m going to place my first order.
I used the R26, which is a size 4 , and I also have the R27 here, which is a size 6. I love them both!!
The palettes look like they could leak soft paint after use. Do they really go in your pocket after painting? Do you use certain brands that aren’t honey based?
When I make my color chart I cover it with clear packing tape and then tape it to the top of the lid of my toolkits. Then I don’t have a loose sheet to lose or put somewhere..
Clever!!
Can you update on how the pans in the little gouache palette are holding up? Have any of the colors cracked and fallen out? I know the glycerin is supposed to help but it would be nice to know if it really does! Also, how does glycerin affect the re-wetability of the paint? Does it still act like gouache or does it make it "thinner" like watercolor? Sorry for all the question but I am a gouache newb! Thanks so much!
So far all is holding up, but it’s only been a few days. A few colours are a bit cracked, but the glycerin has kept them so they aren’t in danger of falling out. From the mixing I’ve done so far I don’t think it’s changed the paint. So far so good! 😊
How did you make your swatch cards? Pans arranged on the printer? Pray tell!
I cut some cotton watercolour paper paper to fit into the pans first (which makes them a bit smaller than the actual pans). Then I just sketched the pans in and tried to make sure they were spaced evenly and looked like the palettes. After that I used a fineliner to ink them, adding a drop shadow on the bottom and right of each pan. Hope that helps! 😊
I just went online and bought one for my gouache. How is your dry palette going?
So far so good! There is cracking but it’s not flaking (if that makes sense). The gelatin has kept it “wet” enough to be in one piece. I’ll give an update on that after I’ve used it for awhile. 😊
@lesliestroz are the mixing pans ceramic coated?
No. I can’t tell if it’s a sticker or something else, but it’s not ceramic. It works well though. I’ve been using them this week and any staining I get (I use staining colours!) has been pretty easy to remove with a vinyl eraser.
I love Schminke and Holbein Gouache if you would like to try other brands.
I've had my eye on the Traveler's Company US collab with Art Toolkit for a while now yet I already a have two other mini palettes so do I really need another?!!
I think you’re asking the wrong person! 😅
@@LeslieStroz have you ever tied out Viviva ColourSheets ? They are made in India and very concentrated watercolours. I always carry them in my journal as they are so pigmented. P.S. I love Rosemary brushes, I am from the UK yet live in France atm and they are my preferred travel brushes by far.
where do you get the handheld easel?
😁paint palette tetris 😆
Yes!!! ☺️
That’s really hitting the dopamine centers haha!
For me too. 😊
I m relatively new to watercolor, new in that I’ve not not been able compare multiple brands of the same color
EXCEPT Prussian Blue leard in comes in PD (red)
And PB (green) . Perhaps your s is one or the other and not the same as the artist to which you compare your mixes. I’m thinking the are similar red/ green versions of Phthalo blue, maybe…..?
These palettes look great. Mary
I LOVE Sodalite
Yes!! 😊
Can you please make a video of water colour supplies for very begginers ,please
What are chalky colors?
Did you purchase all these items or were any given to you?
Both. As I said a few times in the video, I was generously sent the items in this video (the palettes and 3 travel brushes), but I’ve also purchased both from both companies. I’ve been using Rosemary & Co brushes for a decade. 😊
Ok I noticed you did say you got sent the brushes, but I was unsure as the video isn't listed as 'paid promotion'
@@susanrich6It’s not a paid promotion. Paid promotions are paid, which I wasn’t.
@@LeslieStroz oh ok. I thought it was when you were given free items as well.
"When you're watching a video, you might notice this symbol pop up. There may also be text that says 'This channel got money or free things to make this video' or 'Includes paid promotion'. This means that whoever made the video might get money or free goods from a company."
I ve had my eye on these for years but never been able to find them in the U.K. so frustrating. Thank goodness Rosemary brushes finally solved the problem.
RIP my wallet………..
I hear you! It’s such an exciting collaboration! I too have invested money in art supplies I love, including in both of these companies (Rosemary brushes are always on my Christmas wish list!). I purchased a few extra Art Toolkit palettes as well to use for other paint brands. 😅
Temu sells something very similar for a few bucks if there is anyone watching that doesn’t have a budget….
Look like a little toy)
My ❤❤
They are all SO much fun!! 😊
I just can’t understand how people that embrace the beauty of nature in art can pay for people to torture and mutilate animals for the sake of a brush. 😩
These brushes are their synthetic Red Dot collection. 😊
Is this available in Sweden? A quick google search later, hmm looks like it’s difficult to find this in Sweden…
I’m pretty sure Rosemary & Co ships internationally, so that would probably be the quickest way to get it. But you could ask the folks at Art toolkit; they’re really helpful.
