Thank you ! Love the walks with your fur babies at the end of the video.
Thank you; the fur-babies are so cute. I'm biased.
Miranda, so glad to know from seeing this come up that you're feeling better!!!! I'm just about to go to bed, but I've -it- put it into Watch Later, and just wanted to give you a gentle hug! 😊
Thank you. ❤️

Love the original palette. The paints are great too and the paintings are really beautiful. Have a great week, Miranda.
Thank you, Valerie. Have a great weekend!
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.
Phyllis, I'm so curious what you found with the removable round pots! Can you share what it's called?
I would love to know what palette you found if you didn't mind sharing. Thanks, Phyllis!
Hi Phyllis...I imagine you missed the two comments above, so thought I would add another these many months later. If possible for you, could you share the palette you found and mention with removable round pots?
I adore Mission Gold paints. What a neat palette! I hope it works out for you. I, too, have my Mission Gold's in an unorthodox palette, only in my case, it's a Star Wars Darth Vader pencil tin.
Love the painting, as always. I really and sincerely enjoy your work.
Ah, a Star Wars Darth Vader tin sounds awesome! I love Star Wars. How fun! Thank you, Mrs. Tyrant.
I used to do nails before I got a good government job. I love that palette.
It's really neat!
The puppies and kitty bonus footage was so fun!
Thanks, Christine!
Wow, I LOVE the second painting!!!
Thanks, Denise! ❤️
I think they both came out great!! Hopefully I will have the skill one day to paint some of my pictures from Rwanda and Tanzania. The yellow/orange color looked like cheese 😂
It totally looks like cheese, lol! Oh my goodness, I bet you have some beautiful pictures - I'd love to see you paint them. Thank you, Barbara. ♥️
@@MirandaWatsonArt 😂. Some day. Almost have my desk and stuff organized 😊
Fun video and both paintings are excellent! Cosmetic palettes are so great for paints, and I like the round wells of the one you have. I always wipe paints onto a tissue and then get it all over my hands when I forget that I’ve put it there. 😂
Thanks, Becky. Yeah, if I'm not making a mess, then I'm not having fun I guess, LOL!
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!
Thanks, Joie! Yes, this double-decker palette makes me even more excited to use these magnificent paints. For sure.
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!
Hahaha, yes, I noticed Vee's video - that was great timing! I do love that Cobalt Green Deep and the extra info in your comment here is invaluable, so I hope many others read it as well. Thanks, Jenn!
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. 🙏❤🙏
Oh, thanks Jordan! I love using the round pans - they're so big and easy to use. I would like to try the first painting again and see if I could do a better job but the second one is still one of my favorites! Thank you for the really kind comments and for being here! ❤️
@@MirandaWatsonArt You're so welcome, Miranda...but again, we have you to thank for such fun, instructive, and inspiring content. Would be wonderful to see you do a larger version of the first painting, just in case you would fancy sharing that process.
Thanks for an fun and enjoyable video. Especially appreciated on a bit of a torrid day.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it made your day a little bit brighter. Your comment made MY day brighter.
Wow! Those are beautiful paintings. I love the second picture the best. Your mountains are beautiful. And your pets are gorgeous and well-behaved. The paint looks good, like an artist's dream.
Thank you, Diane. Hugs.
Both are great pictures!!!
Thank you, Priscilla!
Beautiful paintings. At first I disagreed with you on making two paint levels but after seeing you use them you were right. Tfs love to see your paintings
I'm glad it worked out. Thank you.
I love the idea if those big round pans in a palette! I am always making such a mess with tiny pans. Love your paintings, too. Thanks for a fun video!
I love these big, round pans. This palette is surprisingly nice.
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.
Thanks for sharing this! This set is on my wish list. It's great to see them in action! Loved the demonstration pieces!
The pure pigment set is well worth the purchase they are really fantastic paints and mix amazingly!!
Love this set.
beautiful art haul
beautiful painting
❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
I have the same paints and the more I use them the more I like them. The palette looks fun, I'm going to do the same thing. 😊
They're just really nice paint, that's all there is to it, lol. Yes to the palette! 🎨
Gorgeous Miranda! 👍🎨🖌
Thank you. 😊
Miranda, very nice photos for those paintings. You did a really good job. I was in Thailand in 2018 for 5 months and I have been wanting to go back soon. For now Hawaii is closer...I am going to dig some of my photos from Thailand and paint them!
Yes, paint them!
Enjoying your video. At point where you added black and white. Thinking if paint messes up your brush, use a glue gun to isolate the paint.
Hope to finish video later.
Oh yeah, a glue gun - such a great idea - thank you!
Wonderful video! Mission Golds Cobalt Green Deep is one of my favorite colors out of the whole line- tho you have it marked as PB36 and I believe it's actually PG26. Anyway I love that palette- so cute! Thanks for sharing and much love! ❤
Double-checked and mine does say PB36. Interesting. It's a fun color!
I have this set and love these paints. They're so bright and pigmented! Your pictures both came out great, and I'd love to see the first one done in a larger size. (PS - the band goes around the box...not that you can't use it for something else, but that's what it fits!)
Thanks, Eliza. I also want to do these in a larger size. It's added to the very long list, lol.
It's a delight to see Molly join in on your walks. I travel much but never to Hong Kong; those photos tell me you had a great trip. Your paintings are well done - bigger would be a good idea. Thanks for sharing all the details of Migello & that fun palette
She a fun kitty. I definitely need to try these bigger. Thank you, Deb. ❤️
Your new Van Dyke Brown is gonna have binder separation also. Every tube of Van Dyke brown has had separation for me.
Thanks, Rebecca; good to know.
love all this getting into new old stuff and the palette as well! reminds me of those other double decker palettes like from finetec holbein. mijello is one if my fave brands because when it goes on sale here, it’s rather affordable. 😊
I always have fun when I use Mijello paint.
Lovely work :) I love my mijellos
Thank you! 😊
Haha, I broke my no buy so far. Maybe By summer I will try. Lol 😂
Uh oh - what'd you buy? Lol!
@@MirandaWatsonArt I bought Ohuhu skin tone alcohol markers, more signo white gell pens , two sets of travel brushes for my son and I so we can en plein air when the weather gets nice, a metal palette to set up a 24 set full pans of DAVinci paints, some DAVinci paints, ( only have 13 colors so far) , Ohuhu marker spiral bound heavy weight paper pad, a very functional pencil pouch for additional stuff needed for en plein air. Just getting that ready. It will be fun to go out plein airing with my son. He graduated with a degree in art. I know I am missing something but I will let you know if I missed anything. I would love a plen air board. But will try with a clip board. I think that should work. But stilll have Time To decide. Another Arches watercolor paper pad. I ran out. That was January and February. But February was my birthday month. And I always buy myself presents. My son bought me Ohuhu markers too for my birthday. He actually bought me the skin tone and I bought the pastels.
What a cool palette! I like the wide wells for brush safety 😍 Enjoy those gorgeous paints (and what cuties at the end!!)😊
I really, *really* like this palette. I've always loved round wells, though. They're so big and easy to use. Thanks.
Very nice video, beautiful tutorial😍😍
Thank you.
I really love how you used your artistic license to lighten up the path side of the 2nd painting!! I LOVE the path and the fence, it looks so deep!!! I think it would be a much worse painting if you hadn't. Remember, your photo isn't perfect - never be too tied to the reference, I say! You're creating art, not a photo document.
Thanks, Jenn. Yes, photos need to be an inspiration, not a rule. I love this photo and definitely want to paint it in a larger format.
The second painting was awesome 👌 also I think you made the right choice in filling up your new palette. I think it is more practical and it makes using the palette more luckily
Oh thank you!
Lovely paintings and a nice idea to split the colours between the two levels that way!
I ordered the same pure pigment set last fall… sort of a final purchase to increase my paint hoard before my low/no-buy lol. I haven’t opened it yet (there’s also a Roman Szmal set to be opened), so when the urge to buy new paint hits, I can go downstairs and pick out something new to use 😅.
Oooooh, you also have paints stashed away for that "new" feeling later - good idea! It's been really fun over here, lol.
@@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 TH-cam 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!!
@@FaithAnnNB shoot, that is a huge bummer. The hook on the round 8 and the loose strands on the really large round are the big bummer for me, too.
@@MirandaWatsonArt Yes, those issues would annoy me as well! I especially can’t stand losing strands from a brush. I am definitely disappointed that they apparently view the issue as an acceptable level of quality.
Beautiful landscapes! And a nice set, thank you for sharing 😊
Thoughts outloud😆: I need this cobalt turquoise pb 28 to my pallet 🤩 But it's semitransparent in this set, I need to find transparent somehow :)
It's such a pretty color. Thanks, Teti.
I like the two palettes you are preparing! Looks like there is lots of room for larger brushes! I use that band to hold the box of Mijello paints. But it would work well on another palette that the latch broke on. Good idea!
I'm going to try a few brushes in it for my next trip. Hopefully I can find a travel one that fits well from my stash.
@@MirandaWatsonArt I bought a set on Amazon. Kolinsky Travel . It’s in A leather pouch with 4 brushes. I know I usually buy synthetic. But this was a good deal.
Allow a couple weeks + to get them to dry completely in pallette
Yes, for sure
Hi Miranda, So do you like these Mijello paints? Do you prefer another brand? I'm considering taking your Gauche class but don't know my schedule yet. Hope to see you.
I love them! There are several brands that I love using, and these are definitely in that group. Rosa Gallery, QoR, Roman Szmal, Rembrandt are others that I can think of immediately. I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting that I love. Hope to see you, too!
ALWAYS shake tubes on these before opening.
Never thought about shaking them, but I'll give it a try.
How do we order an english set ????? i really need that
The palette or the Mission Gold paint?
