  • In this video I'm building my 2024 sketching palette - 12 watercolours that suit me and suit my style, and that I'm super excited to get started painting with!
    I'm going to talk you through all the decisions along the way, including how I'd build a 3 colour, 6 colour, 8 colour or 12 colour palette, with simple colour theory and personal preferences and style choices built in.

    I think one important thing is,YOU choose what colors go in the palette,you don't have to follow rules and if you like pre mixed colors,put them in,no one jugdes you for choosing your favorite colors😊

    Lavender is my new favorite. I use it for everything from shadows to florals when I’m calming down those vibrant colors. Thank you for showing how you use it in your urban sketches.

    Love a metal palette! Candy tins are also lovely for a palm sized option! 12 half pans fit comfortably in an Altoid mint tin along with a small eraser and pencil sharpener!

    I like the small metal palette because I can use a big magnetic clip to fasten it to a clipboard. Then I clip my sketchbook to the clipboard.

    Thank you for the inspiration! I am getting back to sketching after a few years hiatus while in school and my old sketching palette was a Vaseline tin with 4 full pans: magenta, yellow, preussian blue and burned sienna. I have a little porcelain plate from a doll service glued to the tin lid. I would simply have one mix going from clean yellow to bright red, purple, green, blue and then dirtier tones. It felt as if there was nothing I couldn't do with it. 😄 Now I'm inspired to experiment!

    Tube to pallette is a really nice tip and as my colours are used up I will be replacing pans from tubes. I bought a plastic travel set but have found I prefer a ceramic pallette at home.

    I duplicated your palette, because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. A bit expensive with 12 Daniel Smith large tubes, but it's done now and they will last for years based on how I paid. So far, I am infatuated with the Lavender, Ultramarine, and Quin. Sienna. I also have added a Daniel Smith Lunar Blue and Serpentine Green to my palette. Let me tell you, Lunar Blue and Green Apatite Genuine are another great blend of colors. Knocks my socks off!

    Daniel Smith’s Manganese Blue hue might be fugitive. It has a fluorescent pigment that might be fugitive.

      Eurgh - everything has a downside. I'm probably going to repalce it anyway - it's too vibrant :/

    Hi Toby, I only have three of the colours that is in your final list. Is it possible to give alternatives as I can't get to an art shop for some week's. I have lots of Windsor and Newton colours which might be similar!? I'm a new learner. Thank you for your wonderful videos. 😊❤❤❤

    • @TobySketchLoose
      @TobySketchLoose  3 месяца назад

      I would check out a couple of common palettes - like the cotman palette. The colours I've chosen are fairly 'specific' for their opacity/granulation etc. But also similar hues are found in many different palettes. I'm not sure which exact Winsor Newton pigments would match the ones I've currently got unfortunately - I'd suggest just trying yours out, and finding what works for you :)

    For me it’s more like 30 colours. I do NOT like to mix, so I have all my favourite convenience colours. I would die if I had to narrow it down to a primary palette.

    • @ladyhollman9534
      @ladyhollman9534 3 месяца назад +1

      White is generally used to make pastels. Most newer pallets (12sets) don’t have white. Me, I always have a white & black but every one is different.

      So it’ just a matter of preference

    • @TobySketchLoose
      @TobySketchLoose  3 месяца назад +1

      In watercolour 'white' is your paper - 'white watercolour' is gouache, and in traditional watercolours not used. Watercolours are transparent, so will mix with the white under your paper and you get pink by using different pigment, or watery red.
      That doesn't mean you can't use white BUT there is no such thing as a white watercolour pigment.

    • @ladyhollman9534
      @ladyhollman9534 3 месяца назад +1

      @@juliaa3vb732Yes. It’s preference. I use it to make lavender , grey, and various colors. For white color, as Toby stated, you leave white space on the paper. White watercolor paint won’t cover anything, it will only mix into & mostly make a Pastel color. Ergo, if you put in some nice blue water and would like to add some white highlights, you need a white jelly or posca pen or guash because white watercolor will mix with the blue not color over it.
