What an amazing video! I started doing ceramics a few years ago and I find it extremely entertaining and relaxing. You should get more subscribers your video filming is incredible and the edit too! All my best wishes 🤗❤️
Thank you very much! That is so sweet. I would love to make ceramics as well. Thinking of looking for a ceramics class and joining it :D I also find it very relaxing 💖💖
Nice! Thank you for the tutorial. If I may leave a bit of feedback, I enjoy more the videos that you talk in, because I can follow them while doing something else.
I also love the voice over, because your voice is so soothing! It's also easier to follow along, because the words are distracting and it's stressful to make sure I catch them all, which takes away from watching what you're doing.
Anca, I love this! Such beautiful and definitely approachable pieces to make! Clay in general intimidates me so much, but I love watching your air dry clay videos (I love all of your videos.) I hope you and your family and your kitty are doing well! 😊
I usually just use really old and damaged brushes and throw them away after . But you could try using acetone or alcohol to removes. Maybe let it sit there for some time. I have heard that works
It's the same as the pins. One side at a time. I leave a day in between. I think resin is enough to be honest. Especially if it's used correctly. But I just wanted to add an extra layer of glossiness to the palette
Thank you for this! I'll definitely try to make one for myself ( and my friend too, if mine turned out good! ) just a quick question, did you coat everything with resin or did you only coat the top part
I did coat everything with resin and even a varnish after that. I just coated one side and waited for it to dry and then went on and coated the other side :D
Hello 😌 This is really beautiful, I especially love the cat's face - it's so cute..! I really like the colour scheme as well. Can I ask, did you use resin/varnish on the bottom of the palette, because it looked like you only varnished the top side? I'm just wondering because if the whole thing wasn't varnished, then couldn't it get wet when you wash it, and reactivate the gouache underneath? Or maybe it's not a problem, I don't know? I'm new to gouache and haven't heard of that gouache gloss varnish you used - do you use that to seal gouache paintings on paper, or is it more for sculptures/clay etc..?? 💕🎨🖌💕 Really lovely idea, by the way, love the matching palette and brush holder. And the great thing about making your own palette is that you can make the wells any size/depth that you want, to suit the work you do. Nice one!
Hi there! I actually sealed the backside as well. But i had to wait for the top to dry before i could do that and i didn't film that part. It is completely sealed all around. Otherwise the gouache would surely reactivate and wash off. I have always used the varnish for clay projects but i think you could use it on canvas paintings also. Hope this helps. Thank you ♥
Thanks for sharing this tutorial, so inspirational, your items turned out so beautiful!! Just wanted to drop a PSA about using resin - if it is a mix that produces VOCs you may want to invest in a respirator mask that has cartridges that filter organic vapors, unfortunately, dust masks do not do protect against those - not trying to be a 'Karen', I have just heard some sad stories about resin exposure and wanted to share.
Thank you so much for watching and also for keeping us informed. It's important to be safe and I will definitely invest in a proper mask for my future resin projects
What about using acrylic paints? I leave them dry a loy bc i forget to wash and now theyre hard to remove from plastic palettes, would it be the same with the varnish?
Yes i have used it for gouache and watercolor and it works more like a ceramic palette. At the end of the video i wash it and there is no staining from the paints :D
@@AncaPoraIllustration thanks for the info! I'll try this out! Have wanted to make palettes for so long and I didn't know this was possible (apart from using ceramic clay)
A varnish should work just as well. I used both for this particular video. Just make sure you are using a waterproof varnish . And i personally would apply two coats
Hi! The resin is still going strong . The palette is pretty much the same as when I made it. It does get a bit stained from certain watercolors if you leave them on for too long but other then that it's still very much functional
I haven't found a good method yet to be honest. I just use really old brushes a couple of times and then throw them away. I am guessing you could use isopropyl alcohol for dissolving the resin but your brush might get damaged as well in the process. If not maybe use wooden sticks if you don't want to ruin brushes
Very nice Tutorial , exactly what i was looking for . Especially using Resin to Seal it But pls Use a real Filtration Mask and Not Just a facemask. Facemasks are Made for medical use ans Not for Resin fumes or harmfull dust
Love how you jump in and create art so easily. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I don't really do too much planning. The best things happen by accident right :))) 😍
the leaf detail stamped on the palette makes everything better, it came out so pretty.
Thank you ! I really like the leaf detail as well
It turned out so lovely. Your paint and little accents really made it unique
Thank you so much ! ❤️❤️❤️
I had some epoxy resin clay and an expensive batch of resin which I didn't end up using. This is perfect. Aesthetic of your video is just amazing. ❤️
Thank you so much ! 🥰

I'm totally making that brush rest, but fox themed! Thank you for sharing, beautiful as always! ♡
Awww ! I would love to see how it turns out!
Nice! Thank you for the tutorial. If I may leave a bit of feedback, I enjoy more the videos that you talk in, because I can follow them while doing something else.
Thank you! I will try to make more videos with voice-over then. Thanks for the feedback ♥

@@lorabarajas3765 I third this opinion. I find myself pausing to read lol
You are infinitely talented! Thanks for sharing.
Awwww thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️💜
That turned out absolutely beautiful, thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you Debbie ♥
Wow, everything you made is so cute and tells your style.
Thank you ♥ 🐱
This was very helpful. I am going to make one for watercolor. Thanks
Awesome. Would love to see the end result ❤️
This was so fun to watch! I really cant wait to seal the pallete and brushset I made and start using them!☁❤
Oh that is wonderful! I would love to see how they look ♥
does sealing them really make them waterproof??
Anca, I love this! Such beautiful and definitely approachable pieces to make! Clay in general intimidates me so much, but I love watching your air dry clay videos (I love all of your videos.) I hope you and your family and your kitty are doing well! 😊
Thank you Kat. My cat is doing very well. I am so happy you liked the video. Clay is intimidating for me too but so much fun at the same time ♥
This is amazing! Really lovely looking. And I needed tutorial on this :-) Thank you
Awwe thank you! Glad i could help ♥
This is awesome. Definitely thinking about my own pallette now. Just saw some air-dry clay at the store too 😊 thank you for making this video
Thank you! Glad to hear that ❤️
Hi, how do you clean your brush after using resin? Lovely project, btw, thank you for sharing :)
I usually just use really old and damaged brushes and throw them away after . But you could try using acetone or alcohol to removes. Maybe let it sit there for some time. I have heard that works
@@AncaPoraIllustration thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing,it's wonderful,I'm gonna try it 😊
Wonderful! I would love to.see the result ❤️
great job and easy to follow tutorial 😀 I really need to make a palette with the clay i have, just not sure on the design of it yet
I would love to see it if you do decide to make it ❤️
Such a good idea !
Aww thank you 🥰
The cat is so cute! I'm gonna try it
Thank you! I would love to see how it turns out! :D
this was so helpful thanks 💚
Glad it helped. thank you ❤️
Awesome 😍 I tried making one too a while back. But I didn't do the sealing part so some of my acrylic chipped off while washing.
Thank you! I recommend you do varnish it even if it is with a thin layer. It will probably last longer ♥
Inspired ❤️
Awesome!
Wow I am going to make one
Awesome! I would love to see the result :)))
hi, how did you cover the backside of the palette with the resin? and do you think it would have been okay not to add the additional gloss varnish?
It's the same as the pins. One side at a time. I leave a day in between. I think resin is enough to be honest. Especially if it's used correctly. But I just wanted to add an extra layer of glossiness to the palette
both of them were very beautiful. I love it! 😍 can i just use only varnish instead of resin?
Thank you! Yes! As long as it is a waterproof varnish ♥
Thank you for this! I'll definitely try to make one for myself ( and my friend too, if mine turned out good! ) just a quick question, did you coat everything with resin or did you only coat the top part
I did coat everything with resin and even a varnish after that. I just coated one side and waited for it to dry and then went on and coated the other side :D
I loved! Now i need to buy the tihing for doing it
Thank you! I would love to see your own palette ♥
@@AncaPoraIllustration I’ll try and send you on Instagram

Can you share where you got the leaf pattern piece from?
I got it from my local art supplies store. It came in a set of silicone stamps. I am sure you can find something similar on aamazon . :D

Isn't Resin waterproof once its set? I wasnt sure if the varnish would be waterproof?
Yes Resin is indeed waterproof.
What about using acrylic paints? I leave them dry a loy bc i forget to wash and now theyre hard to remove from plastic palettes, would it be the same with the varnish?
I don't recommend this type of palette for acrylic. Its more for water soluble paints. I am afraid the varnish will not withstand too much scrubbing.
@@AncaPoraIllustration thanks!
Can you use the palette for watercolors? Does it bead on top like with plastic palettes or does this palette behave like a ceramic palette?
Yes i have used it for gouache and watercolor and it works more like a ceramic palette. At the end of the video i wash it and there is no staining from the paints :D
@@AncaPoraIllustration thanks for the info! I'll try this out! Have wanted to make palettes for so long and I didn't know this was possible (apart from using ceramic clay)
Will a cost of varnish give the waterproof effect incase I dont have resin
A varnish should work just as well. I used both for this particular video. Just make sure you are using a waterproof varnish . And i personally would apply two coats
Hi Anca, I really want to do this but i wonder how the resin will look like over time. Would you mind me asking how the palette is holding up?
Hi! The resin is still going strong . The palette is pretty much the same as when I made it. It does get a bit stained from certain watercolors if you leave them on for too long but other then that it's still very much functional
@@AncaPoraIllustration that sounds great, thank you so much for replying 🥰
Just wanted to ask that should the bottle of my epoxy resin say "ratio 2:1" or something else?
I am not sure what epoxy resin you have but yes most of them do say ration 2:1
will epoxy resin with 1:1 ratio work too?
What kind of color that you use ? 👍
I used gouache to paint the palette and sealed it with a water based varnish and resin as well.
can I use mod pog to seal it instead?
I have never tried mod podge so i am not sure what to say. As long as it is water resistant it should be fine ❤️
how to clean up the brush after applyed the resin?
I haven't found a good method yet to be honest. I just use really old brushes a couple of times and then throw them away. I am guessing you could use isopropyl alcohol for dissolving the resin but your brush might get damaged as well in the process. If not maybe use wooden sticks if you don't want to ruin brushes
Did it stain
It did get stained after a while, but it's still perfectly functional.
Very nice Tutorial , exactly what i was looking for . Especially using Resin to Seal it
But pls Use a real Filtration Mask and Not Just a facemask. Facemasks are Made for medical use ans Not for Resin fumes or harmfull dust
Thank you! I will get a proper mask for my future projects. This was the only one i had at hand and it was a pretty spontaneous project.
