AHAHA, I could TOTALLY see never wanting to make another moveable chart like this again if you had to cut them all out by hand. Truthfully, my current Daniel Smith studio palette has 48 colors in it right now and drove me absolutely batty. I bought the punch the next day...NEVER AGAIN! =>.

I have SO MANY craft punches now because after I started making shrinky dink ornaments and stuff, I got tired of hand-cutting the holes I needed to string them with. This square punch opened up a whole door of punching opportunities for me. They take up a lot of space but save sooooo much time.

Have you thought about writing on your swatches, applying the tape, applying the dots, THEN cutting them out? If you make a grid, sized to match your punch (which is a BRILLIANT idea btw!!), you are working on a LARGE piece if paper, can see what your spacing is for writing and dots, and don't have to fiddle with all the little pieces several times. Just a thought from and older watercolorist, who has arthritis in her thumbs!

@MeowMeowKapow6 жыл бұрын
Daniel smith are one of my favorites! If you haven’t already, you may want to consider trying out small sets from different brands you’re interested in. For instance, sennelier has a watercolor test pack (I reviewed it if you’re interested) that has five colors for less than $20. Daniel Smith has a split primaries set of 5ml tubes for usually about $20-30 (but that’s enough to fill a half pan 2-3 times with each of the six colors). Those are my current top two favorite brands, though in a recent video a friend gave me some M. Graham paints and those are CRAZY pigmented, too. They don’t really have a “sampler” set, but they do have mini collections of five or six colors that have been put together in one box specifically to work together for a certain type of scenery. They might interest you as well!

@MeowMeowKapow6 жыл бұрын
That’s a great question! It comes down to personal preference, really. I think it’s easier to work from dried paint, so I waited overnight right after I put the new paint in. Because it’s liquidy and I flipped the container upside down a bunch, it was also easy to build all the tape and ring holder and stuff with the paint being dry. Plus, when you see someone “pour” a large amount of paint like that (for watercolor anyway), there’s almost no way they’d be able to use it all up before it dried out on its own. That being said, some people prefer to work with fresh, wet paint so you could theoretically do all the tape and stuff first and then add the wet color as you needed it! Does that help explain what I did a little better? Thank you for asking! =^.^=

Truth be told, I’ve only sprayed the inside of one palette, and it was with matte paint (and then I gave it away as a gift) so I don’t know what the effects are. I more often than not leave them unfinished like this because I don’t want to have to wait another full day or more to use my palette when I’ve already spent two or three days building it! That being said, I believe that it would stain as much as any other metal palette would because it’s more based on the paint than anything else. I’ve got “high end” and “low end” palettes and the only ones that are 100% stain-proof are the ceramic/porcelain ones, but those aren’t really convenient for Travel. =>.

question. do you let the paint dry up in the slots to make sure they dont mix/leak out or is it just thick enough to not worry?

Meow Meow Kapow simplistic palettes are just right

Which is why I have videos of both kinds! Sometimes you need a big, crazy studio palette and sometimes you need just a simple, unlabeled 6 color palette. Everyone’s got their own needs and styles!

Meow Meow Kapow or just one palette with all the colours??
@MeowMeowKapow6 жыл бұрын
I’m going to be making one of those eventually, but given how many colors I’ve accumulated, it wouldn’t be realistic to take for travel. A lot of my favorite tiny mini palettes are the ones I use most, since doodling out in the world is my jam!
