Seriously feels like you're talking specifically at me here. This makes so much sense, and I'm really glad you made this video. Barriers all over the place, especially with pandemic isolationism making me feel guilty if I'm not constantly productive. I want to be prolific like you, but almost nothing makes it past my own critiques.

Soooooo identify. It's exhausting to think about all the prep work just to start painting. It will keep me from actually working. Thank you so much for the video!

I have had similar feelings about not wanting to set up a palette for fear of wasting some paint if it was not used in time. That is one thing that I like about painting digitally. Quick setup and breakdown. No wasted paint. But I really like using real paint too. You have inspired me to overcome the barriers that keep me from painting more often.

i dont mean to hack your hack, but a more beautiful thing about this is that you can shape and size your palette yourself to what ever the task. im sure not every paint project requires a full palette of paint, as some could require double the palette. this is brilliant and just the kind of things i like to do. thanks for busting out a great idea!

Elite level hack there. Thanks. I use a table easel so i just taped the paper to the table with masking tape.

I've been procrastinating my palette clean up for a while.. thanks a lot for the tip !

The barrier is literally a thing. The setup and breakdown for sure can be a nuisance. Thank you!

Super cheap and usable tip. I dig it. Thanks Hannah.

I use the same for acrylic and gouache, best palette set up I've ever used by far!

We want more videos! These are great. Keep em comin!

What a good trick to streamline the artistic process. I didn't know how much I needed it, until I saw this video! Thanks for the information and the best energies for you

Very helpful! Glad this came across my feed at a time when I was considering what pallete to buy. Thank you!

I kind of heart you... This is awesome!

So pretty ❤

WHY ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED HERE!?

Thank you for that. I was curious what your palette was and I definitely agree, the plastic palettes for watercolor are a pain to clean and paint dries up getting gunk in my brushes and work...✌

Your a life saver I’ve been using the plastic with wells impossible too clean with acrylic 🙏🏽

This is so helpful! Im literally cleaning my palette while watching this video lol and its not worth the excessive time it takes

My favourite is just a mirror tile, you can see the translucency of the paint you are working with, and the paint just peels off the tile.

I rarely comment on a video, but this really helped me a lot. I've been dabbling in watercolor, but wanted to see how acrylic works for me... But had an issue with my palette. This is a simple, cheap, and effective solution. Thank you so so much. I will be using it ASAP.

Thanks for heads-up

This is such a great idea!! And so much more inexpensive than the paper palettes you get at the art store. I like to use the top of a shoebox size Tupperware container bc it’s moderately satisfying to peel the acrylic paint off and doesn’t take too long unless the paint is particularly dry. And I just use that time peeling to get my mind frame ready to paint. Plus there a lip where I can hold a brush or two without it rolling into the paint. I think right now for me my biggest barrier is setting up a permanent art area so I don’t have to use the kitchen table anymore!! Ha 😅 Love your videos!

This is useful. I use a glass palette right now but I have an unused roll of wax paper I might break out so I can do smaller paintings and not think about clean up so much

Great tip! Thank you.

such good advice

Thanks

Great tip

1:52 Was when I think I felt in love ... is it wrong? hahah LOL (made my day - Happily not sarcasm) !!

I like the wax paper idea, but what do you do with the excess paint? Too expensive to throw out. Thank you for sharing.

This is a wonderful hack but an even more important approach in identifying your deterents. That was one for me too & another is the handling of brushes- I hate cleaning them & I destroy them... what do you suggest??? I'm super grateful for your tips! Love your style tons!!! Dave from Canada

That wa so helpful

thanks for the info

Redgrasse wet pallet is great too

Hang on I use greaseproof paper as a palette but I put soggy kitchen roll underneath to keep it wet. Are you seriously saying it works dry? When my kitchen roll needs respritzing the paint dries out too...

Damn... that's a great idea. Although I like scraping a glass surface with a razorblade. This is still a fantastic alternative.

I think you hit on a critical point, thank you

Good lass!

Nice! So much cheaper than palette paper! 🤯 🤩

Really great tips. You even have a great outro. You should really make more videos. 👍

This is a great way to reduce cost. I also wonder if this would be better for the environment?

Good video 🙂

oh my god I've followed you on Instagram for forever. when I saw your name when I was looking up the best acrylic palette I just had to see what you had to say about it

its impressive that you do not require more space for mixing and what not.

i feel like if you saw my pallet you'd have a heart attack lol. Lets just say.... the wax paper seems like an idea i should start using hahaha

Using a Wet Pallet with Parchment Paper to cut and then throw away! Truly keeps the acrylics wet most of the time

Waw, gran trabajo con este video. Mis barreras para pintar son: 1_No poder estar tranquila sin distracciones. 2_No saber por donde empezar. 3_No saber que pintar. 4_Miedo a no superar la fase de frustración en el transcurso del trabajo. 5_Miedo a que quede mal la pintura. 6_Miedo a tardar mucho en pintar. Vaya tela😵‍💫🤪🐌y aun así sigo pintando.💪🏻🤘🏻

I was going to say baking paper is really good to use but then seen via the packaging that 'wax paper' is the same thing lol (UK / US) I usually make my own stay wet with baking paper and kitchen roll (tissue) or Ill just do like youve done here and tap the backing paper down to my glass palette i use for oils

Hi mine is not focussing on goals and temptations better left ignored, which have to do with deeper psychological roots, better left to the enjoyable possibilities than sketchy hopes

Can I use pallete knife on this? Or this will break?

Did you ever used wet palette ?

Butcher paper is great too. 👍

*swoon*

Yeah i get it but nah the issue i have is its to floppy its hard to get it really tight and smooth. For me that's a must and the cardboard is too light so it moves all the time grrrr. And the color is murky not as good as pure white if you want accurate color i like white. The real issue is WHY do they charge so much money for stupid palete paper grrrrr.

first? omg.....my life has meaning.

You need to sort out your sound. I could hardly hear you.

Go digital ✌🏼✌🏼

Okay this chick is hot

thank you!!!

Thanks
