*What did you think of my palette choices? Have you tried any that I didn't list? Comment below!*
How old are you
Hey you made me laugh, “here’s the skinny”, love it, and the paint pealing therapy, thanks for the tips
@@MrDjman23 Aw I’m glad this made you laugh :)
disposable materials are hardly the greenest solution :( ! What's wrong with an old china plate?
@@ridleyscott4960 nothing wrong at all! :)
I am using a ceramic floor tile for a pallet. Easy to blend, easy to clean. It's non-porous, a bit like a glass pallet. It's a left-over so no cost involved :)
That is a great idea!!!
Thank you for this! Loved the diy ones with home materials!
I’m glad this was helpful!
I have used most of these and have stuck to using my own DIY wet palette using a glass microwave plate, paper towels & palette paper and cover it with a used chopping board to keep paint wet, similar to your DIY video. I just can bring myself to pay for the pricey common "staywet" boxed system! I will try the foil one day - looks so clean :) Thanks for your enthusiasm and sharing your ideas!
Absolutely! There are many ways to diy a palette that works best for you :) good call on that combo!
AHHH I'm so excited for the DIY glass palette! My grandad bought me an easel (spelling?) fro my birthday in May and it came with a wood pallette and I love it so much. The only thing is that the paint doesn't come off easily (or, like, at all) but that's okay because I personally like the old dried paint look on a palette-- it makes me feel like an actual artist hahaha
Lol right on, queen bee! The glass palette is way easier to clean for sure than a wooden palette haha 😂 but I know what you mean about feeling more like an authentic artist with the dried globs!
Thank you for this channel it is super educational and will definitely use your tutorials with my art classes.
Yay! I’m so glad these are helpful :)
Thank you Amanda. That was very helpful!
Happy to help!❤️
Wow! You showed us so many types of palette. Thank you so much.
I’m glad this was helpful for you :)
I found out a few months ago that I'm very ill and didn't even realize it now I am stuck at home and would like to take up painting but actually have anxiety attacks because I'm so afraid I will screw up or will not be able to tackle something successfully again in my life I love watching you you're so spunky God bless thanks for the tips on a pallet
I’m so glad this was helpful for you- I know how scary it can be to try something new and not wanting to mess it up. Your art is here to help YOU- it’s all about the process. The end result is just a bonus. Best of luck, Queen Bee!
I battle M.S. and am home too. Ive asked Jesus to gift me in painting! Something im not naturally good at but discovered paint by numbers on my new ipad and loved it. Then I grew to real paint by number kits and am so enjoying my time. It is scary and learning... hope u too ask Jesus to help u find peace and patience to enjoy painting and life! Bless you.
Palette paper it is! lol. I'm a beginner and I have a small plastic palette, smaller than the one you showed, with no mixing area. I also have limited space and I loathe cleaning lol. I've used a bit of card wrapped in cling film, a cd case, and an unfinished wooden palette. And yes, that did stain the wood. I may look into how to fix that later XD If you're wondering, the cling film wasn't too bad, and I could actually clean it too, but after a few uses I started wearing a hole into it. If you do this DIY, change your cling film often and be sure it's taut, the acrylics did stick a bit but it wasn't nearly as bad as the CD case lol. I do not recommend CD cases for palettes. lol.
A great suggestion for the cling film! I always believe in trying lots of things out to see what you like best :)
Good to hear and see all of those ideas!! I have one of those expensive plastic ones that come with a lid but I find the lid doesn't want to stay closed grrr so the paint dries quickly... so I have been using styrofoam plates🤷♀️ Thanks for this video!!! Verrrrryy helpful!!💚💛💚
Hahaha yes I have seen those lid palettes for sure! Shame it doesn’t close! Gotta use what works best for you, yeah?
@@TheBuzzedArtist I'm going to give ALL your suggestions a try!!😁😁😁
I love the glass idea. I have tried several plastic palettes but find it such a pain to clean them off.... one is absolutely covered in dry paint and I have tried everything to clean it.... Thanks for the video! :D
Same ! That’s how I ended up watching this video 😂 Also, the plastic palette I have is very small 🙄 I want to paint in a large canvas
I personally really enjoyed this
Clear plastic plates with a bit of a rim, they sell them in bulk for weddings on Walmart online, super cheap! Think I paid under $7. For 150 plates, i like to keep one going for blue, one for greens, etc color grouping according to what i'm working on. I mist the paint with water and cover with pkactic wrap . They stay workable for days! I can let them dry and peel the paint off, or just toss them. I've saved a fortune in not wasting paint on a traditional size palette that gets too full of mixing. If necessary you can turn a free plate upside down as a lid ( over the plastic wrap) and tape the two plates together to stack and store to free up space momentarily ( like to call it a 🌙) and everything will be ready the next day 😊
Wow that’s a great idea! Plus the storage potential sounds amazing 😻
I use a cheap glass picture frame and then a scraper to clean it. Works perfect
That is perfect!
Very helpful video I kind of came to a conclusion on what to choose,
but I was hoping to know about the wooden pallets if they are right choice for Acrylic.
Typically, wood palettes are best suited for oil paint but it can work with acrylics too. It is a bit of a nuisance to clean up but if that doesn't bother you much, then by all means go for it.
I use plastic palettes and they work for me. Here is a tip for cleaning them. I use a popsicle stick to crape the big areas and in the corners I use a sharpened small dowel. They work great to remove the dried on paint.
Great tip, Dan!!! Thank you for sharing!
Gel hand sanitizer is great for breaking down dried paint on the plastic pallette too. Just finger rub a dab on the dry paint and it easily wipes off.
just soak the pallette in the sink or bucket with water. Paint will lift off
@@anns.2621 yes but to me it is therapeutic to peel the paint off lol.
I’ve been using plastic lids. Palette paper or a ceramic plate sounds much better. Thank you!
You’re welcome, love!
there is a artist on here that I watch who uses those sectional foam plates (kind of looks like tv dinner trays), I thought that was a neat idea
Oh yes! That is also a great option! Thank you for sharing :)
I use the disposable and plastic ones. I have lots of large plastic lids that i use also. Amanda what do you think of stay wet palettes?
Love them! I have a diy video coming next week on how to make one!
very helpful
A lot of times I use a kraft matt. I have two small ones (not too small) and I can just throw it in the sink and rinse off when done.
That is a great idea!!!
My husband made me a wood palette. And it work for me. And wash it easy with water and soap...
Hey i just wanted to know that can we use wooden pallets for acrylics
Good to know :)
Like, you - I think I have tried them all over the last 30 some odd years, and I always seem to go back to what works for me; the plastic palette {exactly like the one you showed, which I have multiples of, lol}, a large wooden round disk {I purchased the damn thing for a project via the internet and it arrived warped - so instead of dumping the thing, I primed it, coated it with Scotchguard, and just pile the paint on with no care in the world, lol}, and sometimes - I'll use my large acrylic board, which is an upcycle that my brother was going to throw away, I use it mostly when I'm making larger paint mixings otherwise - it's too BIG and bulky for me to bother with.
A tip for those who use the plastic palette with the round wells... in order to slow down the paint from drying or forming a skin, take a round makeup sponge, spray both sides with water so it's very moist {top side and bottom side} and place the sponge on top... viola... the paint will stay good and moist for several hours so long as your sponge is wet. If paint gets on the sponge... just rinse 'em with water and reuse, over and over and over. I think I've been using the same makeup sponges on the round wells of my palette for ten years now and they're still holding up.
Great ideas and tips, Amanda!!! I look forward to seeing how you make the tray palette, heck - I look forward to seeing you make ALL the things!!! Much love to you QB!!!
Wow I love your suggestions and I am especially loving that little sponge hack to keep your paints wet longer on the plastic tray wells. Very clever, Queen Bee!
Everybody’s got their ideal palette they love to use and I am so glad you experimented and found one that really suited you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
RE: Cleaning plastic palettes, etc. Just put a bit of dish soap on them and let them sit for a few hours covered with water. You'll find they'll clean up much better. Also, grocery stores sell rolls of freezer paper [which is the same stuff as palette pads]. You can make custom size palettes, with no absorbing, and toss when done.
Ooo good suggestion about freezer paper!
A butcher tray is pretty good too.
Ah that is a great one too!
I thought those were some great options! I hate using the plastic wells cause paint gets stuck and takes a long time to clean. I usually go with a paper plate or palette paper. I love the way the ceramic ones look but for me the least amount of cleaning time wins
Absolutely! Always go with whatever works best for you and your lifestyle 👍🏼
Not great environmentally but I like the black plastic(not too lightweight) trays that come with Costco dinners. I layer and cover and dispose of eventually. Need a second option though
Oh interesting! Yeah it’s a good option - I usually have a plastic tray as backup just in case :)
omg! the glass palette is an amazing idea! im a begginer and i bought a small round palette at michael's and i have limited space to mixing -___- but my question was.. i have a N5 Neutral Gray, does that work for my background??
Yes I think that should be fine :) if it’s too dark, add a little titanium white to lighten it up! Have fun with making your own palette!
Windex practically dissolves acrylic paint, for easy clean-up.
oooh great suggestion!
I use an old magazine, the ones with shinny and thick paper, and then, reuse it for collage
That’s a pretty cool idea!
I use a clear clipboard and I put a small cloth on the clip to dry off the brush c:
I love that idea!!
I use a wooden one, when I am ready I crape the paint of and wash it with warm water and soap 💟💟💟
Ah nice! Super old school but a classic choice! 😘
@@TheBuzzedArtist I am 57 so I am old school too 😂😂😜
hey..what if we apply varnish on wooden palette and then use it and put acrylic paints on it...and what about oil paints...is wooden one a good option for both??
You can use wooden palettes for both mediums, but it’s a bigger pain with acrylics than oils, in my opinion :)
Any tips for preserving paint on Palette Paper? I typically take a couple of days for my paintings and don't want my paint to dry out.
Oof yeah that’s a tough one. Besides spraying or lubricating the palette surface with water, perhaps you can place the entire palette in a sealable container. Basically, you want to find ways to trap the moisture so the paint won’t dry out as quick. It harder with paper as opposed to a tray, but definitely not impossible!
You may also want to consider getting a medium that slows the drying time of your paint.
❤🇩🇿
What about Tupperware? As a stay wet palette, DIY?
That might work, as long as you got a good seal on the lid :)
What do you think about pallets with lid? I'm looking for a pallet to save my colors for the next time
Those are pretty good, as long as they have an airtight seal. Otherwise, the paint will dry out much quicker
Glad Press N Seal on a wooden pallette?
Yup or any type of plastic bag can work here :)
My husband likes to eat store bought pies they have a aluminum baking dish , so I just wash and use them for my pallets!
I never used the paper ones I well try them when my husbands pie addiction wears off lol😹
Haha I love it! Now that is unique! ❤️
1st ❤️🙈
last!!!!
What type of palette do you recommend for oil paint?
I’ve been using glass palettes and love them
I have used the foil palette. I have two plastic trays that I used. I was wondering Amanda if the palette paper can be put in the tray?
Yup!
@@TheBuzzedArtist Thank you!
I still use the basic plastic ones😥😥
It’s all what works best for you, yeah? 🙌🏻
I like to use styrofoam plates. Very cheap
That is also a great option!!
I have a plexiglass palette... I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT
Lol! I have heard of those. Reasons for not liking it?
@@TheBuzzedArtist it's just really hard to clean if the paint dries
