Could you please make a video about your "travel essentials" and how you pack your art supplies on-the-go?

I just subscribed a few days ago, and got my first watercolor palette yesterday. This was meant to be.

Sometimes pouring the pans in 2 halves and letting the first layer dry out before pouring the second layer stops cracking in the paint. Some don’t crack but some paints get a giant fissure down the middle where the water goes in. In a humid climate this can be a place for mould to grow

Never heard of sanding the pallets before this is so amazing seriously thank you for this truck!

Ahhh, been waiting for this vid!!😍Love you jess, you are amazing Video ideas (that I desperately want you to do): 1. How to sketch with proportions. 2. more sketching with ballpoint pens and more tips. 3. How to fill your sketchbook. 4. Painting videos, paint with gouache. 5. Basics of drawing. 6. Art challenge: Redraw your old pieces!! 😍🥰😁😄

What a pleasure..... It was actually therapeutic watching this video.।. I forgot all my worries and troubles...

oh gosh, so I'm going to hold a lecture about watercolors beginning of 2023 (it was supposed to have happened early this week, it's december 2022) and this made me realize I would have forgotten entirely about transparency and opaqueness, smooth colors and granulating ones etc, like the whole basics! I was so unsure about which watercolor things are generally interesting and which are only interesting to me that I completely forgot newbies to watercolor might want to know about all that stuff..

Hey can you do more filling page of sketch videos, i really love watching those!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you! As a newbie to watercolor I had no idea what to do. Your palette and swatch card are beautiful. 😊

amazing I like it from my heart - Love from India,West Bengal

Those last 2 mins were the most therapeutic ones!! 😍 I just got my new watercolour tube set, and I was wondering how make it last longer and cleaner, this was definitely an eye opener!! 😍😍😍😍

The 24-half pan palette can actually house 26 half pans for a snug fit (not counting the space in the middle because I use it to store my brushes). Great video!! ❤❤❤

Fabulous demo. I am just going to start using watercolours and this was invaluable.

Thank you so much Jess for doing this video! I have recently ordered my watercolour supplies and was wondering how to get it organised 😇 I’m going to follow this step-by-step 🤗

thank you so much Jess! I can't stay away from your channel, you've given more so many tips and inspiration! ❤️ can you do more 'sketch with me' videos?

Wow that marble one, I love the marble touch and the color of that😍😍😍

You might want to substitute Graphite Grey for Ivory Black. It mixes with your other colors and makes for a really interesting granulating color. It’s also great to use for tonal studies, along with soft pencils.

It's funny, one of my favorite shadow mixes ever is Sepia+Indigo 😅

This was the best example I found so far. Very great advice about creating the small color chart that goes right in the tin. I watched another one which placed small magnets at the bottom of the little pallet boxes to help them stay in place. I think that’s a very good idea that I will add to my process. I am still figuring out what colors I need. I am be using the Daniel Smith dot chart of all of his colors to create color chart to determine what colors I want to choose. I have the tin that you use in this example. I know it’s gonna take a lot of time but I am really excited about doing it. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for the pallet prep tips. I have a purchased pallette that I can take the shine out of to stop the beading. Didn't know to do that. Thanks. Also thanks for the brand suggestions for quality paints and papers.

You can bend the small metal tabs to hole the half pans in place without having to add foam

Excellent way to keep your swatches.

Super helpful Jess. You have the best advice re: organizing!

What a great informative video. The tip about using a buffer to condition a palette was new to me and perfect timing. Thank you.

Hey Jess! I'm Anuska Desai, you're my biggest inspiration, I love watching your videos. Thank you:)

Oh... the separate piece for the names that you can fold over is the best idea. I could never write small enough & couldn't read it if I did. Love the reference .

Waiting for your videos are like waiting for rain on a hot day..

This was satisfying to watch. Also I learned a few things.

Nice technique my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely organized jess

Hi Jess! I got your channel one week ago and now I'm addicted to your channel...

I started to follow you not long ago, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy all your videos, with great info to the point, your lovely works (I feel soooo jelous :D ).... you are an amazing dedicated artist and a true inspiration for me, thanks a lot

I am planning to have a palette of my own and found your video and it was so informative and helpful tqsm for making this video

Just tried the buffing technique on my mission gold palette ^-^ pleasantly surprised it worked Thanks gurl

Hi Jess it been a month since I subscribe to u. U are the artist that I like to watch when I'm doing art project for school. U inspired me to draw more and practice on watercolor and many other art materials.

Another amazing video makes me want to use water colours again. I hope we get to see some more water colour work from you

🙂 very useful. Thanks

WOW! jess never fails to make us happy!! thnx for amazing content!!

Laminating your swatch chart is such a good idea, thank you!

Thank you for sharing. Waiting for 2 palettes I ordered, this video is exactly what i needed to set up my new palettes. Blessings

Clear nail polish over the sharpie will seal it great. Just a little tip.

Great set up. Thank you for sharing 🙏

I really enjoy your channel so far, I’ve watched two videos and wow you’re a great artist that really puts out quality videos. :))

I started watercolor because of you. From graphite to watercolor is fun 😍 And You're very very beautiful.

All those lovely colours!! Enjoyed your video and the tips and ideas were really useful. Thank you.

This was amazing as it always is! Watercolor is definitely not my strong point but it was so very satisfying to watch you fill up all those pans! Love you, Jess! 🥰

Thank you soo much. I am recently planning on shifting to water color. This will help me a lot Thanks again you're a great artist I wish I could draw like you

Your channel is amaaazing ...❤ love from India, Maharashtra..✌

I rounded the corners of my swatch card so it fits neater

Nice video art 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing video ....pls provide with more painting tips Love from India

Toothpaste!! 😅 I can’t believe it actually works! Thank you Jess 🙏😊

Can you go into how you chose the specific colors? I’d love the insight :)

Thank you for sharing your information. I’m new for watercolour painting and would like to start everything correctly 😁. Watching you from England.

this cat is always beautiful to see :)

Great video of a huge job executed very well!

I love ur videos so much!!! U inspire me a lot!!!! Thanks for being so amzingg!! I love seeing ur progress n ur art vlogs n I'm looking forward for more videos!! Luv ya:)

Looveee yaaaa you are the best and thanks for your vids they help me a lottt💗

Nice 👌👌👌👌

thoroughly enjoyed this. :)

I just started a watercolour course in my city. I’m very thankful for your video! Subbed!

Pro Tip: Skip every 2 colors to allow the square to dry before filling the box next door.. no chance of spreading and bleeding and ruining your card....

Another way to prevent your pans from moving is to tape magnetic tape at the bottom of your half pans. This makes sure they don't jiggle around and it prevents them from popping out (though it does make it harder to push them under the metal tabs, but those are less necessary with the magnets); would definitely recommend this for any palettes you'd throw around in your bag. Your palette is beautiful!

Your the best

Great step by step! Thank you for creating this cool video!

That pink really grabs your eye! What a gorgeous color 💕

4:00 It seems like you could use a buffing compound to remove the shininess and prevent water from beading up, but yeah toothpaste is works aswell.

Jess - I wish I'd seen this video when I was 10. It would inspire me to paint for sure

This was so so informative and organized video... U inspire me a lot. I'm just thinking to buy a pallate and now I can see ur and can organize. Love from India 😍😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕

Beautiful, loved your artwork ❤️❤️❤️

Thank yoouu!! this was really helpful🥰

Another informative video! Thanks so much, Jess!!

You give a lot of useful information in your videos... 💙 Thank you very much 😍

Thank you!

Amazing job!!! Keep going!!!

I also recommend adding small magnets and then adding your paint. This way, the pans don't fall out and stay put on your palette. Good video. Thanks!

Great as always thank you for sharing these important tips 💜

This was a very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

Jess the video is fantastic love you from India

So good and organized!

Great video! Love the swatch chart tip!❤❤❤

Thank u so much for this video😊

Very helpful!

Thanks for this video It really helped

Perfect,Thank you!❤

رهييييييييييييييييييييب

Okay let's do it

So you can use the tubes; they re activate with water? I didn’t know this, I always just looked at the half pans you can buy. Might have to give this a go 😁

Thank you for this helpful video !

Is there a "normal" amount of time for a paint to "dry". I am expecting it to be "hard" but the van Gogh Chinese white does not seem to dry.... it has a film and is still quite "squishy". I read that a new palate would be best to cure for a week or even 2. There does not seem to be honey in this brand, but I want to ensure I am doing everything right. I have the pans in a dark, warm area with a fan to keep air moving. Any thoughts??? (no wonder the pre made pans are available. Patience is not my strength.

Woow...your new palette looks gorgeous 😱🤩 actually a video where you'll paint something using this palette would be amazing

Thanks this video surely will help me

Waiting for your next video ❤️ Love from India

I love how you have the tiny inset image / video of the swatching of these colors. Lovely touch but I have no idea how you did that. I heard that regular Manganese Blue has been discontinued because they can't get the pigment anymore.

Very very useful and satisfying video..., Thank you very much jess❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I really like your videos! You are so cool!❤️😘🥰

Can you please share which colors made it to your travel palette? I’m struggling to narrow mine down and I have a long trip coming up 😅

Very helpful! Thank you!

Jess please suggest some tips to do watercolor with cheap color and paper if u can....cause i cant afford the costlier one....

Loads of love From West Bengal India
