Watch as I show you how I store and organize all 120 of my Prima Watercolor Confections half pans, in ONE Palette! I also sorted all the colors that I own (11 sets out of the available 12) into color categories to make them easier to use. I'll explain what I've done and share my color swatch charts oxoxo

You’re dedicated! I’m thankful for that 🎉
I stand in awe of your persistence Kate! Uniquely and intelligently beautiful! 😍
Aww thank you oxox I hope it's useful :)
Sorry you had to “break a leg” to create this great invention, But Wow ! I have similiar problem with my Daniel Smith Water Color & combinations of Holbein, W&N, QoRs, Senielier, etc. With the exception of QoRs, I use my colors regardless of Manufacturer, but some do granulate differently, dont fit in color familys that I understand, especially if names are used but also some pigments have a wide range of red to purple, that is deceptive. Still trying to sort it out myself, will look into the resources you used. Wont use your color chart, but will use your logic & I have that same mejillo pallette, and several more. Thanks for making a you tube, I found you through Jane Davenport on Spellbinders site. Hope you are healed by now & back in the pink of health.
Ps. I actually was looking for a video on how to use Jane Davenport (they look like Eyeshadow) I think they are pastels in a powder form. I recently purchased 2 pallets (face & primary) along with her faces book. Purchased for my granddaughter for Christmas, but decided later, it might not be her thing, so now I’m trying to figure if I can use them or not. I make cards, but not really into mixed media. I’m more stamping, watercolor, inking, Copics. Not crayons, pencils, or acryllic or oil paints & pens. If you have a video on the “ eyeshadow type pallettes “ perhaps you could direct me, so far don’t see any. Maybe you just dont use it on its own? I have not played with it yet, just because I’m still on the fence about giving it as a gift. But even if I do, I may need to supplement with make up brushes, sponges, or something else.
Aww thank you - yes both legs working normally again :) So glad I could help and I know just what you mean - I've also been playing with my DS creating a light and bright palette!
@@denaheck1506 you will love the pastels - I have these too and have used them in a few of my vids (check out my Jane Playlist - th-cam.com/play/PL0FtYCwgCxDpnEsHAo0CdieZGD0FIAbFe.html) I don't tend to use these alone, but with other yummies oxox
Can’t even imagine all the hard work you’ve put in to this. It looks great!
Thank you so much :)
omg - this is so so perfect!!! Thanks for all your research and work you put in
Aw thank you so so much oxoxo Have fun color sorting oxox
I have watched this so many times. I have so many watercolours that I love. It's genius. Much thanks from Australia 🦘. Rachelle xo 🎨
Aww thank you :)
That was a great idea and a true labour of love. I only have 4 Prima palettes, but even then having all the tins open is a pain. I can imagine it's impossible if you have them all.
Another option for securing watercolor pans to any type of palette is to use putty like "Uhu Tac" or "Uhu Padafix" on the bottom of each pan. You can buy the putty in pre-cut small squares or buy larger cubes and then just tear a pea-sized amount off to secure each pan individually. It's waterproof, removable, reshapable and reusable. It also comes in many colors, but white is most inconspicuous for this use.
Oh thanks Erin - I haven't seen that, great suggestion oxoxo
Blu tack/white tac works too
Kate, what an awesome palette... What a labor of love!!! Hope you are doing well my friend.. Sending you hugs from Florida ❤️😘
Hi Michelle - I'm doing better now oxxo and oh it sure was a labor of ♡ but I enjoyed it - making all those swatches was strangely soothing :)
Wow! Thanks for sharing all of your hours & hours of work categorizing colors. This will be so helpful for a lot of people.
Thanks Erin - that's my hope :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've recently been inspired to use my watercolors, but having them in 9 tins has prevented me from really enjoying them. I'll be buying this palette tomorrow!
Oh my god thank you so much, I love the prima collection and I was looking for something to ease their use because it's sometimes a waste of time to open each set, You had such a great idea !!!Vanessa (from France)
Aww thank you - and you are welcome, I'm glad it helped oxox
I only have four of the collections and am having the same problem. Thanks for all the hard work!
My pleasure oxoxo
Wow! Thanks Kate!! A monumental task...thank you for sharing...❤️
My absolute pleasure oxox
Amazing effort and the results are stunningly grand!!!! Absolute perfection sweet love!!!
Thank you so much - I'm pretty happy with it :)
Thank you for this! It is amazing! Did you end up getting the other pallet & make another chart?
This is great. If I ever own more colours I might do this too. On the other hand I do love the colour stories that each pan contains.
Aww thank you and I love the color combos in the tins too which is why I kept all the little palette cards so I can refer to these and not forget what goes with what oxoxo
I love the groupings as well. I do like the idea of having them all in one pallet and be able to readily see each set. I personally could not break the sets by color.
That is a lot of effort!!! Wonderful 😍😍... Thanks for sharing 💞💞💞
It was but worth it and my pleasure :)
Perfect! Thanks for a great idea! I, like you, had an accident and fell 20’ off my deck and broke my back and hip and ribs. I’ll be in my Lazyboy for about 4 + months. You’ve given me a great project. Thanks for always inspiring us!
Oh no sending big hugs and hope you feel better soon Genia! and yes it was a challenge to find things to do sitting in that chair, swatching was perfect - and if you finish that can I recommend then beginning a color mix book where you test what colors look like when mixed or used together - I started this and then decided to finish one project at a time :) I was determined!
Oooooo. That should keep me busy. I have inks, oxides, sprays and other goodies. Thank you for the well wishes. I appreciate that. 😘
@@geniagoltz8048 yep I think that should keep you occupied for a while :)
Brilliant! Thanks for all your time and effort.
My pleasure I had a lot of fun swatching lol oxox
Thank you for doing the color chart. It has saved me so much time!
My pleasure it's was kind of relaxing :)
wow! you have all of the sets. that's amazing💖
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Thank you ever so much for taking the time and effort to swatch and swatch and swatch! I watched Nina's video so many times and wanted to create a palette like this. Dream coming true and thank you for the insight on the complexion palette! What will you do when you add the currents palette?
lol Yes that final currents palette - I've been wondering what I might do when I finally get that - I can fit half the palette in there, but may have to evict a few of my least used metallics (and do a new swatch) :)
@@KatePalmer Thanks for the reply! Turns out my palette will hold 7 rows x 19 columns = 133 pans if you take the 11 sets (excluding complexion) x 12 colors = 132 colors. What to do with that one extra spot!! LOL
@@CraftyIntervention oh NICE!!! sooo many choices, custom color maybe :)
Hi Kate, hello from rural SW Victoria. I hope your broken limb is all better and not giving you any grief. I love your system, it is amazing and it works so much better than having a big stack of small tins. Thanks your sharing your hard work. (I bought my Prima sets before watching your video 😞 so unfortunately I have the duplicate Complexions set. I've decided that I'll just keep it in tact for any "making faces/people" projects.) Anyway, I also have the set call Currents 133-144. They all look like "cool blues" to me except for a couple which may stray onto the warmer side. Two questions, are you thinking of (ever) adding them to your palette/colour chart and, if not, would you care to categorise them so I can fit them into your system? Not asking much, am I? 🙂
Hi Heather - thank so much for your kind words oxoxo. I've purchased the Prima Currents set and my plan is to swatch it out over my Christmas break and try to figure out where those extra colours fit in - then of course I will need to reorganise my palette and re do my color chart :) Stay tuned!
I’m following… I also got the Currents and am looking forward to organizing them with your system. It’s genius and really shows your dedication 😊
Thank you so much for the hard work put into a complete palette. I have been looking for one for quite a while. When I downloaded your color sheet I noticed two color 29 and no color 52. I just wanted to let you know. Also, since you now have a very detailed knowledge of the colors any hope about an updated chart with the colors from Currents?? Thank you!! Just found your channel and have been watching quite a few of your posts.
Oh thanks so much for your kind words, and for spotting that - now fixed on the color chart and pdf oxo
I'd love to add Currents to my collection having trouble getting hold of that set :(
Thank you! I got my Currents set from Amazon. Was the only place I could find it.
Kate it really is a thing of beauty!
I do love a good swatch chart lol - thank you Sue oxoxo
My palette is the Vintage Pastels because they have a certain level of moodiness to their colors, as well as the fact that I felt there were a few too many similar colors in the other palettes. I admit though I do want to acquire Pastel Dreams too (can you tell I have a thing for pastels 😭)
lol I love the pastels as well - something soft and dreamy about them oxxo
I have both of those and there are no duplicates between the two. I use them together all the time, and the only other color I need to add is a dark blue.
Wow! Amazing colors! Prima is the best :)
Thank you so so much :)
Hi. This is such a great idea. I’m excited to organize mine!! Have you seen the new one called “Currents”? Wondering where those should be placed? Help!!!
I’m so excited about this, thanks for sharing all your work. I have a question, some of my prima colors are very hard and don’t reset well, have you run into this issue and if so, do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Some of mine are also a bit on the hard side, I usually just add a few drops of water and let it soften before I need to use it and repeat if necessary
Gorgeous!!!!!!!
Thank you oxox
Thank you very much 👍😊
You're welcome 😊 I had a ball making this oxox
Awesome! Thank you!!!!
My pleasure - it was loads of fun :)
Hi Kate - Funny story, I spent the day swatching and building my mega palette I even added in the 12th palette (currents) had it all done closed up my palette and when I tipped it to one side about 20 colors fell out of their individual pans!! YIKES which makes for a hard time to figure out which one was which!! So... after swatching those I was able to put them back into their spots but the mega palette wont work if I can't count on the colors to stay put!! For now the pans are back in their original homes!
Make sure to add the double sided tape on the bottom - I can shake my palette without anything moving :) And I agree - absolutely essential so things don't move oxoxo
@@KatePalmer I did tape the pans down - The pans didn't move but the actual paint fell out of the pans. I can't put tape on the paint itself correct??
@@CraftyIntervention the paint fell out - wow now that a real pain! and no - no tape on the paint :)
@@CraftyIntervention I have added a few drops of water and then put the paint back in - usually sticks it back to the pan
@@KatePalmer that's what I figured but if/when they dry out again ugh! For now the paints are back in their original pans (i.e. vintage pastel in the appropriate box) at least if this happens again I only have 12 colors to try to decipher vs. 132. Oh well, I did get lots of practice swatching! Let me know if you're interested in seeing where I added the currents palette to your amazing mega palette. I'd be happy to e-mail it to you. Thanks again for sharing all the work you did!!
You don’t have adhd huh? I cannot focus on tasks like this but you have done so so well! Do you print with waterproof ink?
Yes - I used a Laser printer to print on my watercolor card - mine has a flap you can open at the back of the printer for thicker cardstock to exit, your local printing store or some office supply stores could also laser print on watercolor card if you don't have access to a laser printer.
Great idea!
Thank you oxox
Ty for the video
My pleasure oxo
Hello Kate - I reached out to you last year on this video about your prima color chart but adding in the Prima "Currents" set. I just happened again upon this video and your blog and realized I've never shared my chart including currents with you
I have a PDF ready can I e-mail it to you??
I'd love that!
@@KatePalmer Great - e-mail has been sent to your gmail address
Oh, wow. I just posted about this! Would I be able to get that chart?
@@KatePalmer hi. Would I be able to get a copy of your Prima Palette chart with the Current set?
Hi, nice video, def helped me when organising mine! 😊 Any idea, did the discontinue one, where are shades 61 to 72?
Hi - I've never found mention of colors 61-72 - perhaps a set they chose not to release?
