For safe edges just sand the glass edges (wear gloves). As mentioned below, cutting boards are a better idea because they're thicker and shatter-resistant. Glass table-tops are also a good option. Those are more expensive though. Other options: Heavy-Duty Aluminum foil (dull side) wrapped around a board and freezer paper (glossy side) taped around a table-top (for an extra-large palette). These are cheap and easily disposable. Saves cleaning.

A lot of work! I Use an old glass cutting board, they’re thick and tough and you’ll find plenty at second hand shops.Useful tip is to place a piece of white/grey paper under ur glass board to see paint colours clearly, this also allows you to use both sides of the glass. The glass used in this video is just an accident waiting to happen.

Glass is dirt cheap at a hardware store. I got a huge sheet of glass to replace for one of my cabinets. Also it is safer to have the hardware cut it for you and round off the edges so you don't cut yourself when you work. Glass from a hardware store is also a better quality glass than glass from a dollar store picture frame.

@CKArts6 2 жыл бұрын

I like this idea. I have an EXPENSIVE glass palette that I have been using for years- it has white sticky paper on the back but the white is not helpful at all. I peeled it off and then painted the back gray like you did but with each layer- the paint peeled off- I used Golden med gray tone. Washed the glass and it came right off. Now I am thinking I can put the palette on top of a piece of cardboard when I use it and paint the cardboard neut gray. Hmmmmm……gonna try.

It is so much easier to use a ceramic (wall) tiles. These are 8 inches X 10 inches. And it is more lasting than GLASS. Wall tiles come in all sort of colour (and sizes). Yon can easily buy a warm-neutral gray, or white. No need to paint, and no need to protect it with tapes.

Funny, I was just thinking about doing it that way. To protect the painted area, but also prevent it from shattering everywhere if I drop it. I do think it would’ve been even better to first flip in the small flaps and then the big flap on the narrower ends.

@TheCreativeGlow 6 жыл бұрын

That's a very good suggestion and definitely an option, for sure! I personally prefer this just because it's less bulky--great for anyone doing plein air painting for portability--and it just gets in the way less than I'd imagine a framed glass would. Plus, aside from this glass I bought for the tutorial, this lets me make use of the left over glass after framing a painting. Totally up to you, the framing route would take less time for sure! Thanks for the suggestion and comment! Have fun creating/painting! :)

This must be for a portable palette that could also end up breaking and cutting you or others. Mine is stationary on a table next to my easel. I made it by just taking that same neutral grey paper and taped it to the back of the glass and taped the glass down to my FLAT table with ducted tape on the edges. Took about 5 minutes after I ordered the same grey paper palette she showed. no need to paint it. works great, I used two pieces for a 16x20 glass palette.

Oh, I see. The reasons I like to do it this way are that 1) it keeps it nice and slim, and 2) the tape not only strengthens the glass a bit, but it holds onto the pieces if it should somehow break - although I’ve never broken one to date.

Duct Tape (or similar product) really is one of your best options since it is very sticky; if the palette happens to break, most of the glass should stay stuck to the tape even if it is broken.

So I understand why you did a mid tone grey but can you do the same with a burnt sienna? The reason I'm asking is because I almost always do my underpaintings in burnt sienna and I was thinking about making two with both a mid tone grey and burnt sienna

@TheCreativeGlow 4 жыл бұрын

Tyson Silvers Sure, you can do whatever colour you want to do. But burnt sienna is quite a warm tone, so many colours will appear cool in comparison; colours appear a certain way in relation to one another. That’s why neutral grey is suggested, because not only does it help to better judge lightness/darkness of your paints, but the colour temperature as well, leading to better and more accurate colour mixtures. In the end it’s up to you. One of each would help you decide what you prefer. ;) good luck!

@tysonsilvers4903 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheCreativeGlow thank you for your response. I honestly didn't think about burnt sienna being warm toned bc alot of my painting are more warmed colored lol so when you put it that way I'm definitely more confident in doing my pallette in a mid toned grey

I’ve been using mine for over 5 and 6 years and haven’t broken either so far. The tape on the back adds a rigidity to the glass and will keep most of the pieces at least stuck together should it ever brake. I think with proper use, it is safe, but take caution, of course.

@pennysmith6802 2 жыл бұрын

Why would you paint it when you can put the paper behind it?! And most palettes are white… so a white paper behind would be the simple solution. 🤷‍♀️

@TheCreativeGlow Жыл бұрын

This is a late reply, but here’s my reasoning: I don’t like the shadows that using paper behind creates behind the glass, so I prefer painting it, plus is give it a more professional look, which I also appreciate… although once it gets mucked you from using it, that doesn’t matter anyway… that’s just me. And you find paint pallets in white, sure, but if you look to many professional glass palettes, you’ll find many are neutral grey, and you can buy the disposable paper palette pad in neutral grey as well. This is what I choose for painting en plein air. You may feel that white is more common, but neutral grey is pretty well liked by many artists since mixing on a white background can make colours appear darker than you expect… and the opposite can be said if you’re mixing on too dark of a background, so the neutral grey is a really nice middle ground, and helps in mixing more accurate values. All that being said, if you prefer white, you prefer white and that’s perfectly good because it works for you, and that’s what matters. But that’s the low-down on the grey vs white palette. :)
