I’ve been sick now for what feels like forever and a day. I am not good at resting but in this case, I am forced to. I saw a really cool paint palette on YouTube the other day. I couldn’t get it out of my head. I remembered this really cool cigar tin my friend had gifted me. She put some watercolor pans in it, but I never got around to filling them, This morning I sat in my studio and went for it.
I started by pulling all the paint colors I wanted for this petite tray. I mixed a few custom colors too. I then took wood glue and placed all the pans into the tin, incorporating a fun little arrangement not typically found in artist palettes. I then filled the pans and added two little strips of foam to the sides of the palette. My thinking with that was that gouache tends to dry out and crack. I’m going to try spraying these down with water when I’m done painting to keep it humid inside. Will report back if this works!
