Hey Jazza, cobalt blue is one of the heavier pigments, its a heavy metal paint. The green paint, which was most certainly a mixed paint pretty sure does weight less. That's why you buy paint in volume and not weight. You can't compare the total weight of the squeezed out paint, you should have used the same pigment and/or the total weight of the tube and put it in relation. Good vid though 👍
Cobalt blue is just the name of the blue. If you want one that is actually toxic with real cobalt in it, you have to go to a specialty store and there’s only a few of them in America. It’s like trying to buy lead white that actually has lead in it.
The point of a wet pallet is not to keep paints alive for days. Its to keep small amounts alive whilst in use. If you take out a small amount of paint on a regular pallet, its often dried out before you're finished with it, preventing that is what a wet pallet is for.
That said, it's nice to be able to keep a certain colour alive for a few days. I have small children and prolonged paint sessions are not possible. It's great to be able to clean up in a hurry and still come back to the same mixed colours.
@@Skeazix Oh absolutely, not saying you or anyone else shouldn't use it for that reason. Just saying its not what its actually for. More of a nice extra.
For your tube squeezing experiment, you need to use the same color since there could be a variation in weight by volume. Some pigments may weigh more than others and come colors may use more pigments than others as well. Using the same color removes the possible variables and gives a more conclusive result.
I do think it would be kind of interesting how far you could take the pulpy paint? Can you blend it? How much of a 3D look can you get? Can you build outwards/upwards on it with layers?
Regarding the tissue pulp thing, I reckon tissues are made to absorb and stay whole and loo roll (which is made to disintegrate in water) would be easier to shred/pulpify
As someone who is getting ready to work on building a gaming table for 40K the idea of making rocks out of hot glue instead of plastic is absolutely AWESOME! I had the same concern about the delicate nature of plaster, especially since this is a table intended for adult children that may or may not have had a wobbly pop or two!
For paint tubes you can use binder clips to keep them rolled up and also can be useful for hanging them up to store them tip down. AND you can put big easy to read labels on the clips with a paint swatch because wow some paint tubes look too similar or have tiny fonts
Instead of paper towels, just use the sponge and baking paper for the wet pallet; since it's in a sealed box it should last you well (mine last me at least 2 weeks). You can buy all this at the dollar shop. Jazza you probably dampened the sponge too much, that's why the paint was runny in your first wet pallet ^^
Yeah, he definitely wet the sponge too much. If the sponge is just damp, it works great! I've been using the wet palette he had for a wall mural that I've been working on only several times a week for a few hours at a time and acrylics stay wet for 1-2 weeks at a time.
Never even occurred to me to buy a wet palette. Always made them myself. Cut open tubes to get the last bits of paint out. No need for a squeezing device. Paint the sides of the canvas before you start on the front, and touch up as needed when finished.
The pulp trick, it's basically what I did to make a bunch of detailed decorative Japanese masks, using a simple plastic mask from the dollar store as a base. It was basically papermache. The big differences though is that I used toilet paper and did not use paint.
Jazza not thinking it would stick immediately made me remember middle school vandals throwing wet paper towels and toilet tissue up at the restroom celling. Guess he never saw kids doing that at his school cause he would know how well the mess sticks to stuff lol.
Pro tip for the Tupperware pallets, do them upside down, the lid gets the paint and the bowl is the the lid, that way there is no lip and you can get in there with a pallet knife better.
You tested out a hypothesis and documented the result, thats proper science that. Ive also never understood why wet pallettes are quite so pricey. Good tips about the kneadable eraser, tube squeezer and keeping the wet pallette in the fridge.
I didn’t realize that this isn’t like a common thing, but when painting, my mom would always paint on a normal pallet and then cover it with a damp paper towel and stick it in a gallon Ziploc, and put it in the fridge. I’ve never heard of a wet pallet, but that method has always worked for me.
That recital of the Dexter song LOL at 8:43, brought me back to my childhood days! Thanks as always for the quality content. I can confirm (since I've been doing this since I started painting) that the homemade wet palette works. You just need to use a container, place a wet paper towel and then a baking sheet (or parchment paper) on top of it and there you have it... a cheap homemade wet palette.
@@recoveringsoul755eventually it stops erasing very well, becomes hard to reshape, and even can start to leave graphite residue as it’s been used/dirtied
Quick tip: I use my tube squeezer also for hair dyes and other stuff where you wanna get the very last drips out. Its also handy for elder people or people with strength/pain issues on hands.
Kneadable erasers are often bound together with some form of mineral or vegetable oil in the mix so I imagine if you do this often enough it will become less stable. That's also why they're not reccomended for erasing marks when you intend to have non-graphite media used at a later point on the same paper. Some don't mix well with the residue the eraser leaves
I've tried telling folks, including the lady who was trying to teach us how to do a certain painting, and I got looks as if to say shut up and listen, lol. There was 3 more mistakes made which wasn't realized til the end, and I'm like, y'all wanted me to be quiet. I propably should've been teaching them, lol.
Used a homemade wet palette for many years, coffee filters work much better than paper towels, also best to buy sponge imbued with antiseptic/antibacterial to reduce growth in the damp container. There are additives that are paint friendly too that can help. Also made myself a sort of working open wet palette out of a cupcake palette by cutting up sponge to fit the round spaces and covered each one with coffee filter paper. I don't lid that one, but it keeps the paint wet for hours while working, especially on slow work like miniatures, and it keeps the colors separate. I detest dipping my brush in paint pots as it contaminates the paint leading to early spoilage. I always pour/squeeze out the paint I need and never return it to its original container. If making custom mixes or I need a container for a large volume, I use a new separate container.
Ive used home made wet palettes for many years now and they work a lot better than the bought ones. You dont need to use a fridge and you can still put palette paper over the tissue, you get no absorption/runny paint and the paint will stay wet for months (i once left a smaller one on a shelf for around a year and forgot to clean it, the paint was still wet and usable)
I really appreciate the variety of your videos and your willingness to try anything and not judge until you do it yourself.....something a majority of people are too stubborn to do. Cheers, and Happy New Year!

4:24 squeezing tubes in a scale? It looks like you need tips from makeup breakup. Seems like a thing with Australian youtubers wanting to see how much product they can get out if stuff lol but the gals from makeup breakup weigh the tube when it's full and then weigh it when empty to see the true difference!
I think the pulp/paint idea is really cool. I kept thinking that I wanted the outlines to stay, though. Maybe depending on the actual artwork, it could be a a great alternative medium, kind of like fresco.
Acrylic paint is a weird beast because it can act like a glue. I've used matte medium like that before, as a sealer, isolation coat, a paint extender and soo much more. It weirds out my husband, he constantly asking is it a paint, is it a glue, is it magic lol
I've made a ton of homemade wet pallets. Best one I've made is a pan or plastic containers, one of those very thin sponge towels from Amazon, and parchment paper. Not wax, you need the paper to let water through. Pretty simple, very effective for acrylic. Honestly, I don't even put mine in the fridge. Depends on your acrylic brand and how big your piles of paint are.
Hi, sorry, out of curiousity, should it be stored in cupboard or fridge? I'm asking because he specifically said "cupboard" regarding the purchased version, and then purposefully showed himself taking Rae hack version from the fridge. And, follow up, would the purchased version have not gone quite as liquid if it too had been stored in the fridge, rather than left at the mercy of ambient (super warm and even more humid) air temperature/density that is the Australian summer? Edit: Should probably have waited an extra 5 seconds before adding that second question. I still feel it's relevant though as you have prior experience/knowledge whereas he's just curious at this point. Thank you
@@desireeg5807 I think he meant to say fridge. We never put ours in the fridge though, we just leave it out, and I live in a really hot humid place. I dunno about the purchased version, it depends on what material it's using to hold the water. A lot of them seem to use sponge type stuff. The thin, felt like sponge towels seem to work great, better than a sponge or paper towel for me. The trick is not putting too much water in it. That's why it gets too liquid, because it absorbs too much water. The way we keep from adding too much water: we run the pallete and sponge with the parchment paper off, under the faucet, let it absorb all the water, and pour out any water that's left. We let it drip completely, until it stops dripping. Then we lay the parchment paper on top and it kinda suctions to the wet sponge towel. This works perfectly with the sponge towel material, and the paint never gets too liquid, and doesn't dry out. If there is too much water in your wet pallete, the paint will get runny no matter where you put it.
I made the diy wet pallette in a small container and my paint was actually still usable after 2 weeks of sitting on the table. However I lost half the paint to the paper towel.
I recently got my first drawing tablet for Christmas! I am so happy and I really hope to get into digital art even more now (as a hobby) I love your content, thank you for being apart of my artistic journey, Jazza!
That's amazing, I'm so glad for you! One thing I would suggest, if you're into fantasy or design, is purchasing his brush set. It has saved me SO MUCH TIME and is so fun to use. It's definitely been a good investment on my part and I think you would enjoy it too! Keep on creating art! ❤️
When it comes to the wetpallet, I saw someone using the papertowel one but she put a piece of plastic on top of the towels, the plastic was littlebit smaller than the tub she used so moisture could seap up if she pushed down a bit on the plastic, thus making it easier to save the paint without it getting sucked in to the papertowels.
I did not know that one could clean kneadable erasers, so 👍 also this video felt very "old school jazza" with such a simple camera set-up, kinda nostalgic 😄
Bog roll and kitchen towel are actually pretty resilient to pulping, newspaper is best, but standard office paper works to if you need white. Tear into strips, soak overnight in more water than you think you need. I then used a heavily modified fork (tines all bent 90 degrees, then made to do the YMCA dance) in a drill to tear it all apart. Then pour it all through a sieve. Takes a while to drain, but easy and repeatable paper pulp. I was paid a decent wage to figure that out. If you have an air cannon handy, and your inner 10yo likes spitballs, it's a very satisfying day at the office. For pure adult rated spitball fun, wet cotton wool is amazing. Impossible to shape into anything but a wad. Or a splat. Yup, that was a good week at "work". There was a legit purpose behind it all, I promise. Friday Beers were quite a messy event that week. Just make sure the boss gets the first beer, and the first shot on the gun. 🎉
So with the kneadable eraser you use a little soap and barely wet it and dry it constantly so it does not become soaked. And as far as the pronunciation of laboratory, the theme song says "labratory" with less emphasis on the o, and Dexter says "laboratory".
Jazza's Videos always put me back in the mood for painting! Also for empty tubes i like cutting off the end and dunking my brush into the tube till its fully empty.
Not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but regarding the pulp painting, would running the paper towel/tissue thru a paper shredder first make it a tad easier?!
Seeing that people made wet palettes without a grease paper layer makes me feel like my community are geniuses. XD I don't think we even considered it without. Suffice to say, it's better than spending a bunch on something you can make just as effective yourself.
I use the lid of my water bucket as the pallet for my acrylics. When I’m done I just pop the lid back on without emptying the water. Paints are all soft and nice when you continue a few days later.
Just a pointless fun fact: in Italy, the *kneaded erasers* is called *Gommapane,* where "gomma" comes from "rubber", but it's intended as *"eraser"* and "pane" just means *"bread".* Because it seems made of bread and, be honest, everyone tasted it, at least once.
Jazza - the saint patron of every amateurs artwork, thank you so much for all your hard work, it means so much to us amateurs, thank you to the end of times
I think the paper pulp would be some cool textures for terrains. I'd try a mixer or a food processor to make the pulp, though, if making a large project.
The last "hack" isn't actually a hack but already an old type of art. I remember doing that when I was in elementary school and it is a fun art activity for kids because you can play around with textures and color mixing.
I use foil and keep it in a take-away plastic food container, and cover it with the lid and it keeps it overnight. I make individual foil pallets for each project.
Maybe first put your paper in the blender, and when it’s like confetti shaped you add water and paint. And then make an epic Jazza art piece with it! 💚💪🏼🔥
Same for a wet pallet hack is just to seal what ever your using in a plastic bag seal the bag the pain brush or roller exec is always ready to use after 👍
That pulpy toilet paper just like my art project in the elementary school but at that time I'm using newspapers (put in water and let it rest a night and shredded it using blender for faster work), wood glue and paint on piece of plywood and can be used to create sculpture too..
Video idea: jazza and someone else get a slideshow of photos and have to decide whether it was made by someone on the team or a social media person. They get points for getting it correct. They can risk doubling there points by guessing which member of the team made the piece.
As for the wet pallet hack: I put a wet paper towel in a seal tight to go box, but the paints go on the lid and not the paper towel. The paper towel just keeps moisture in the container without making the paint watery
I think there might be two things that influence the tube squeeze test. Firstly, using 2 different colors, where one type of pigment might be heavier than the other. And second, the tubes are probably not filled with exact same amounts in the factory, only at least the amount as noted on the packaging with potentially a little more or less on top of that.
i can see that tissue paper hack being useful for making your fake rocks in a diorama, as well as background like grass and mountains....just a thought, i haven't put into practice though....lol. Excellent video as always.
About the wet pallets. In highschool what we did to preserve our paint was we give the paint a little spray with some water and put it in a Ziploc bag, that you can keep using again and again. And even give a lil extra sprites into the bag to create a moist environment to save it over the weekend. Is there a reason this is bad for the paint?
Hey Jazza, cobalt blue is one of the heavier pigments, its a heavy metal paint. The green paint, which was most certainly a mixed paint pretty sure does weight less. That's why you buy paint in volume and not weight.
You can't compare the total weight of the squeezed out paint, you should have used the same pigment and/or the total weight of the tube and put it in relation. Good vid though 👍

I was about to say the same thing. He would need two tubes of the same color to test weight accurately.
Cobalt blue might just be a name
Am I the only one, or does anyone else really wanna see jazza make a large, well-made painting with the toilet paper pulp. ☺️
Bob Ross painting 😍 with a dragon 😂🎉
I bet you can sculpt it. 3D painting
Id use single ply to avoid the difficulty in shredding it.
@@xxbbdollxxIsn’t that just paper mache but the paste is made differently?
All he'd really have to do is put it in a blender. So much less work.
Only Jazza would wear a lab coat to protect his clothes and still get paint on his t-shirt.

Use toilet paper instead of tissue. Toilet paper is designed to fall apart when it gets wet.

8:36 This is how I feel when I've been painting for hours and finally leave my room with paint all over me
Paper (tissue etc) also has binding agents mixed in to keep it together
Acryl paint is basically colured pva glue.
5:52 Best hack ever... the magic of editing 🎉 a great segue and cleaning hack 😂
My favorite hack was your Hot glue trick. I have those exact molds and that's such a great idea! Thanks Jazza!
I personally want to see Jazza make (if he hasn’t already) an entire artwork only using magic markers
I use the lid of my water bucket as the pallet for my acrylics. When I’m done I just pop the lid back on without emptying the water. Paints are all soft and nice when you continue a few days later.
Just a pointless fun fact:
in Italy, the *kneaded erasers* is called *Gommapane,* where "gomma" comes from "rubber", but it's intended as *"eraser"* and "pane" just means *"bread".*
Because it seems made of bread and, be honest, everyone tasted it, at least once.
I can’t watch TikTok, so this is perfect
Jazza - the saint patron of every amateurs artwork, thank you so much for all your hard work, it means so much to us amateurs, thank you to the end of times
You are the approving Dad we, amateur artists didn't had, sorry for bad English, we wish you all the beets from eastern Europe🍾
the last one looks like a good long day messy 3D art project for kids (make pulp by hand, mix colors, 'paint' within the lines)
10:30 I think weighing it down with heavier stuff might work better, since it would squish together and have less gaps
I think the paper pulp would be some cool textures for terrains. I'd try a mixer or a food processor to make the pulp, though, if making a large project.
Ok, the paint and tissue seems like a super cool idea for 3d type art.
The coloured pulp painting could be a good way to do world maps for TTRPGs.
Easy way to make paper pulp, blender or immersion stick blender. Also doing it onto a screen or something similar.
The last "hack" isn't actually a hack but already an old type of art. I remember doing that when I was in elementary school and it is a fun art activity for kids because you can play around with textures and color mixing.
I like the tissue paper paint idea; in the example video the artist made it look kinda like opaque stained glass, which i thought looked really cool!
I use foil and keep it in a take-away plastic food container, and cover it with the lid and it keeps it overnight. I make individual foil pallets for each project.
You can mix the newspaper/ paper shreds with plenty of water in a blender to make pulp :) I always do this when I make my own paper with the children
Labra tor ee 😌 Also love the classical music and lab coat 😏
I feel like the paper pulp would do really well for Paper Mache style art.
I am defiantly going to use the home-made wet pallet, It seems to work great!
You singing "In Dexter's Laboratory" brought me back :3
For the wet pallet, dampen paper towel and then put parchment paper over, THEN the paint. Not directly on paper towel
To get out acrylic paint off or clothes, use rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer.
Maybe first put your paper in the blender, and when it’s like confetti shaped you add water and paint.
And then make an epic Jazza art piece with it! 💚💪🏼🔥
Same for a wet pallet hack is just to seal what ever your using in a plastic bag seal the bag the pain brush or roller exec is always ready to use after 👍
the tissue one would be cool for making 3D additions to paintings or making mini terrain pieces
Tbh I use airtight lunchboxes as a palette, and I have 4 year old acrylic paint in there that is still 100% fine. Never rewatered it or nothing.
I guess Jazz went to a good school. There were spit wads all over our bathroom ceilings. It's just water and toilet paper.
I loveee hack videos. ❤
I love this series of jazza tiktok hacks, please keep them coming!❤
That pulpy toilet paper just like my art project in the elementary school but at that time I'm using newspapers (put in water and let it rest a night and shredded it using blender for faster work), wood glue and paint on piece of plywood and can be used to create sculpture too..
I love the Sauron tower painting from Lotr 💚
Video idea: jazza and someone else get a slideshow of photos and have to decide whether it was made by someone on the team or a social media person. They get points for getting it correct. They can risk doubling there points by guessing which member of the team made the piece.
If you like 3d ish effects you could use the pulp for like woolen socks or a scarf in a painting. Could look good
as an art student the kneaded eraser hack is a lifesaver
As for the wet pallet hack: I put a wet paper towel in a seal tight to go box, but the paints go on the lid and not the paper towel. The paper towel just keeps moisture in the container without making the paint watery
Jazz’s should start a podcast
the paint tube squeezer would probably be more helpful for people that have issues with grip strength - arthiritis or other disabilities
I bet you that the kneadable eraser also doesn`t need THAT much dishsoap to get clean. Like that is more than I put in the sink xD.
Ah. The paper towel in the tupperware. I did that all through college for my painting classes. Haha.
Heyy lol i luv ur vids u slay jazza
happy to see you doing this content again very unexpected but whta could i expect from the best person ever
Test the Bhuda board basically what it does is you paint with water and when it evaporates it gets erased.
Cool as always 👍
I think there might be two things that influence the tube squeeze test. Firstly, using 2 different colors, where one type of pigment might be heavier than the other. And second, the tubes are probably not filled with exact same amounts in the factory, only at least the amount as noted on the packaging with potentially a little more or less on top of that.
i can see that tissue paper hack being useful for making your fake rocks in a diorama, as well as background like grass and mountains....just a thought, i haven't put into practice though....lol. Excellent video as always.
The pulp paint would be great for a pre k or elementary school art project.
When weighing the paint, you should use the same color both times. Different colors have different pigment weights
About the wet pallets.
In highschool what we did to preserve our paint was we give the paint a little spray with some water and put it in a Ziploc bag, that you can keep using again and again. And even give a lil extra sprites into the bag to create a moist environment to save it over the weekend.
Is there a reason this is bad for the paint?
