Filling My Roman Szmal Watercolour Paint Palette! I Chose Four New Colours + Swatching & Painting
Рет қаралды 4,187
Жыл бұрынI have finally filled up my large tin of Roman Szmal watercolours, yay! I only needed four more pans to fill it, so today I will show you which colours I chose, plus swatching them out, painting with the limited palette, and then fully reorganizing my entire palette! This was so satisfying.

You can quite easily leverage out the metal bars leaving just the base tray. You can then stick magnets on the bottom of your pans and they will be held firmly in place. This avoids using the empty tin with its wobbly bottom. Not sure exactly how many more pans you will fit in, I have used this on smaller tins to get them to fit 12 full pans from white Nights but it also works with other full pans, only excepting Winsor and Newton. I love these colours btw, and am grateful for you showing so clearly what they look like in use. They are really beautiful. Now I need an extra tin too!
@BeckyTregear Жыл бұрын
I have yet to find anywhere that sells the right kind of magnets to stick on pans, so I will leave it as is and not make too much of a mess, haha! But if and when I find good magnets, things may yet change again, lol.

@@BeckyTregear I don’t know if you’ve tried this but I use magnetic tape which I cut to half or full pan size pieces. I remove the non-adhesive strip from the sticky part of the magnetic tape and then stick it to the bottom of my pan and then the non-sticky magnetic side sticks to the metal palette. The magnet isn’t incredibly strong and I have removed the magnetic tape from my pans without any mess. It does the job and prevents the pans from rolling around. I’ve also seen small magnetic discs for craft projects, but I haven’t tried those.

@@BeckyTregear just ordinary magnetic sheet or tape can be used. Mine came with dots punched into it, and what was left could also be cut up and used. Pans are only tiny and the magnets work well.

Thank you for the video :) I run along the tape with the end of the long side of a plastic ruler that came in one of those 'mathimatical instrument tins' that contain a compass, pencil, eraser etc. Any ruler will do, as long as the corner is curved a little to keep it clear of the paper and not scuff it. This should make a nice seal on the tape.

@@BeckyTregear I have never used Washi tape, just masking tape from the supermarket. But taking the masking tape off damages some of my cheaper practice paper. Is Washi tape more paper friendly? Or do people use it because it looks nicer?
@BeckyTregear Жыл бұрын
@@niafer9444 Washi tape generally has a lower adhesion than masking tape. Here is is called Low Tack tape. There are ones specifically for artists, but washi tape is generally a lot easier to find, and usually cheaper. Plus it's pretty! You can also use painters tape for "Delicate" surfaces, as that is also low tack. Medium or high tack tapes will rip paper a lot more easily, and I find masking tape is usually at least medium so is too sticky. That's my understanding of the whole situation, haha!

I fit 35 in the tray. I like to take it out of the metal box, when I paint. What I do to fit 35 in the tray is taking out the 2 central metal row. You just have to pull them out. You can put them back after if you want. You can put 3 rows of pans between the two outward metal rows. I fix the pans with magnets or blue tack. They fit snuggly.

Really lovely colors! I am thinking of ordering a few pans to try out as well. I know you're likely not at all looking to rearrange this palette again, but I think in your shoes I would take out a few of the blues and add in a few of those pans from the set of 5 you got, bulk out a few of the other colors since there's so much blue overlap. That aquarius green, maybe, and maybe the azo red. I also prefer the french ultramarine I think, since it would add an interesting variation to the blues with some granulation options. (at a glance I might swap out the blue sky and the phtalo turq. shades, and just trade out the ultramarine shades and see how that felt.) Stunning palette though, I am green with envy!
