I love the idea of this palette and you definitely can make some very beautiful mixes!! I’m ordering and can’t wait to try to glaze with them… I have good cotton paper and the silver black velvet brushes but you truly have a gift for creating such soft edges… I first saw Steve use this and just impressed with the range!!! Great job on a truly unique and exciting palette!!! I love the wilder beast…spelling?? I’m a big fan of Hazel Soan and have her palette too. Love it but you have truly created a unique and beautiful palette!! Thank you P.S. you make it look so easy and it’s really not! Great film editing 😊

I tend more and more to neglect the unwritten rules of watercolor. I've bought quite a number of opaque colors and ones which are mixed with white in the last months. I sometimes like the softer edges of them. Transparent watercolor paints lean to have almost fine outlines. Having both kind of paints, and all between, means to have more variety. Which is fine with me. Thanks for all your efforts and your lovely paintings.

Now you come with opaque colors and they look so beautiful in your hands 💫. You always push me out of my comfort zone 🙈. Perhaps it is for the opaqueness of the colors as it is for black (and all colors). It is a journey. Just learn to know them, then you can take advantage of their capabilities. And my journey seems to be a long one. But joyful 😉.

I may however save my pennies and treat myself to a set because they look so interesting .You really showed them off perfectly 🥰

I like DaVinci paint. I just wish that a half pan was actually a regular size half pan. The pan is small and the walls are extremely thick to shrinkflation your amount of paint. Pretty sleezy practice.
@InLiquidColor Жыл бұрын
Hi there. Their pans are different than generic pans, but let's not throw around words like sleezy when its just their brand preference to do so. I just used a precise gram scale to measure paint (Sennieler's Ultramarine) by weight in a Meeden generic half pan, a DV, and an empty W&N half pan. Meeden holds 1.00g, Da Vinci holds 0.90g and W&N holds 0.80g. Da Vinci paint also shrinks substantially less than other brands I've used going from wet to dry when considering refills, and they are one of the most affordable brands in the US. When considering a brand's value, you need to consider the pigment payout of the final product as well as price per ounce overall, not the size the vessel they come in.
