Heey, these are my favorite watercolors and I am wanting to collect them all actually, one swipe is enough to cover a page! (exaggerated of course) I'm happy to see you enjoy it! Aand that improvised watercolor palette is interesting like a double-decker or 2 floored palette, as well as the set-up, you have two different sets of the same brand to play with, it'll be fun to try getting out of our comfort zones and use the colors we don't usually use, and that palette set up is perfect for that, it's similar to your use it up challenge in a way. I'm looking forward to you pulling up old supplies to play with! Do your best in your no-buy challenge! Oh and I hope you're doing fine, stay safe out there!

What an interesting palette design! I would not have thought of looking for one for nail art boxes , although I found a similar one with removable round pots. One thing I really like about the large pans that come with Japanese watercolors is how easy it is to access the paint compared to trying to dig color out of tiny western half pans. This seems like another good alternative.

Just found your channel, Miranda, as I am totally new to watercolor and started with the Mission Gold Pure Pigments (24 + 2). And then, um...some Roman Szmal, Daniel Smith, M Graham, and a white Schmincke gouache...good heavens! How does it start before even painting one thing?! At any rate, loved your idea for having two, complete mixing palettes with different versions of all the key colors. Brilliant. Loved the palette and all of that room for brushes due to the circular pans. Especially, though, loved your paintings. Both of them, very much. The second one, however, was a mini-masterpiece! Just blown away by the nuance you accomplished in the perspective of the mountains, the variations in color of the water and the aliveness that added...AND, the textures and color variations you achieved with the path and fence. All of it so inspiring. Bookmarked to watch again and again, and then follow along. Thanks for your work and for sharing...subscribed and will be visiting your library. 🙏❤🙏

I love this set and what a cool palette! I think what I would do with that palette, since the paint set consists of all single pigment paints, is use some of the wells for convenience colors. I have certain mixes that I use all the time and instead of having to mix those colors every time, I premix those colors and put them in half pans or in empty wells on my palette. Either way, I enjoyed the video and found your setup to be very pleasing. Happy painting!

Yes, I was thinking this would be the perfect palette if I had just a tiny bit more room for some additional colors. I may add them in like I did the black and white separated by glue gun dividers. That'd make it be ideal.

I love how you used the nail decor palette, with the circles! And I love how you arranged the colors in two separate palettes. The "bottom" palette looks very summery and tropical to me. It's funny, I've been doing the opposite -- trying to make a fruit/floral palette, and I can't seem to pour it because I'm trying to make sure it's the perfect selection of colors 🤣I adore the Rose Madder, PR 176, it's actually perfect for painting a lot of red fruits. I also unexpectedly loved the Yellow Ochre #2 as well - and of course the Red Brown is really stunning as a sub for Burnt Sienna. I have this set, and love it! I agree that it lacks any sort of convenience green, but since it's a set of pure pigments... so, that is sort of the point! LOL. And it still suffers from their weird naming - like, it's an actual Cobalt Turquoise, made with PB28! Why call it a hue? And the "Viridian" is phthalo green. But we expect that from Mission Gold 🤣 Oh also, the Cobalt Green Deep is really what we usually call Cobalt Turquoise Deep, it's PB36. It's actually a very unusual hue of that pigment, just as you noticed! It's one of their standout shades as far as being unique. I loved how it looked in the water - that was a great use of it! (I normally think of PG19 as Cobalt Green Deep, which is actually becoming one of my favorite greens to use for florals. So many flowers have that blue-green leaf color. I like Schmincke's version.) Paint in Hiding also just did a Mission Gold video too... you two are going to make me buy those unusual colors I want from eBay, like the Cobalt Black and Quin Yellow!

@@MirandaWatsonArt I reached out to Craftamo about the brush set that we both have with the loose ferrules. Essentially, they told me that ferrules can become loose and I should use pliers to tighten them (they included a link to a KZitem how-to video). They seemed to imply this was normal, even though I don’t have a single Princeton or Escoda brush that behaves this way, or even other Craftamo brushes. I only have this happening with one set of Craftamo brushes and several brushes in that set have wobbly/loose ferrules. So, in my opinion, that is a defect of these brushes. It’s such a shame because when I first started using those brushes, I loved them!!
