It's kind of funny that you struggled with the toned sketchbook, because you're the one who put me on to them! I LOVE the Nova series. My local Jerry's is getting rid of all theirs. They have large black and grey ones on clearance. If I had the money, I'd buy them all, but as it is, I did pick up a large black one. I already have the tri-tone one. The Nova series handles watercolor surprisingly well, but I mainly use ink, colored pencils, neocolors, acrylic markers -- all kinds of things. I also use gouache in the black sketchbook.

I’m getting more into markers because I realized how much faster I can move when using them. Almost no dry time. I love watercolor but for urban sketching.. I might be switching to most watercolor markers. Do you have a fav brand? Winsor newton, albrecht dryer, tombow, ecoline? I have only one by Winsor newton and a bunch of tombows I want to try albrecht durer soon though

Looks great, Taria! Thanks for the tour. You gave me an inspired idea. I've sketched with urban sketchers in NYC just a couple of times. (I'm a little intimidated) I do have a small toned sketchbook and that makes it more "doable." I'm thinking - bite-sized scenes. Your people sketching is looking good! Thanks for the encouragement from the southern hemisphere. (Love that you included Duncan. ) Cheers.

I love my Strathmore grey & tan toned sketchbooks. They're wire bound, so I have to be careful with them. I will make my own customized & durable cover, eventually. I am knew to sketchbooks so I wanted something inexpensive to learn in. I do like your S & B nicely bound toned sketchbook. Lots of great tips. I am ordering colored pencils for mine. I am still deciding on acrylic & brush markers.

Nice job on your first watercolour tin set! I have made several over the years. Adding sponge to the lower area and where there is the little gap on the right side, center row, will stop your plans for sliding and add a convenient area to wipe your brush. For your swatches, you may want to try doing a graded wash, where you have the full colour strength at the top and then less pigment below. It will help you see the gradient of colours you can get. There are also really strong rare earth magnets you can buy and glue to your pans if you find these unstable. They are super strong. I have really appreciated your videos on urban sketching, which I have just started doing this year to complement my watercolour painting. It is so fun to get out and be painting on site!

Might not be the fault of the magnets, but of the level of actual metal in the tin? If it's more aluminium than steel, perhaps no magnet will be strong.

Lovely sketch. Something I was thinking about while watching you, I believe a lot of people who enjoy making art, myself included, tend to forget, you don't have to follow someones style, or their rules, or whatever process they use. As a person learning to watercolor, and watching a lot of instruction I sometimes get caught up in trying imitate or follow closely what someone is doing. I have to remind myself often that you really can do whatever the hell you want.

Sorry! There wasn't really a way around it though, you need somewhere to mix your paint! It's also a mass-produced tin so it's not an antique or anything. It seems these tins are quite common!

One note about swatching paper: I've noticed colors look different depending on what paper you use. Grumbacher Watercolor pad, which has no cotton in it, shows colors differently from copy paper and from the 100% cotton paper of my Hahnemuhle watercolor sketchbook. Just something to keep in mind.

Very true - my watercolours always sing more on 100% cotton. Its always useful to swatch in the sketchbook you are using. Thanks for highlighting :)

a drop of glycerin (or possibly your own watercolor medium- gum arabic and honey) would keep it from cracking. If you want your watercolors to never dry add more glycerin lol. That stuff will keep it from cracking but will also keep it tacky for years if you overdo it lol.

If you add a bit of sponge at the front that should hold everything in place. I haven't tried repurposing a tin yet, mainly because I don't have any suitable tins. Years ago I bought a cheap $2 plastic eyeshadow set that I prized all the eyeshadows out of and filled that with paint. I never got around to spray painting the lid though and it would have worked better if I had. Otherwise it was nicely pocketable and very light.

I cut some popsicle sticks and place on sides to make the fit tight so the paints don’t move in the tin. And then your idea with the sponge at the larger space should hold them tight. Fun video.

You can fill the empty space at the bottom of the tin with a piece of sponge to hold the pans in place and dry your brush. Works for me with irregular tins that don't precisely fit the pans.

I love this!! I’ve made this kind of palettes, and what worked best for me was a double tape.

I get something like Art Toolkit palette. Anyway, I like your videos very much! And, yes, this Rosa’s Green is really beautiful!🌷

I used a glue to keep the magnet adhered to the bottom of the pans. It worked better than depending on the adhesive of the magnet. Another palette I made was to add small round magnets in the pan. That has worked best. My palette is old metal pencil boxes. Thanks for the video, i enjoyed it.

If the non adhesive sides of the magnets attract (rather then repel) each other, you can try sticking a sheet of magnet to the bottom of the tin and then placing the magnets on the bottom of the pans so you have magnets sticking to magnets, it should just about double the holding power (assuming you have the depth in the tin).

Very nice tin! I recently went thru and made 4 travel size tins to store paint anywhere and everywhere! I used old altoids and tea tins. In stead of painting them I used a laminated white card to make a mixing area. I reused some old advertising fridge magnets and had the same issue; some are stronger than others. I did all this because I always felt like painting, but didn’t have my supplies! Now I do! I am using little totes and fanny packs. So fun and now all my paint is being used up! Time to get some more!😉😂
