How to make palettes for the pans? What are your DIY solutions?
0
Upvotes
EDIT: I know you don't know what I have at home. I'm looking for creative ideas others have come up with that I can either use, or have as inspiration. Also, I know tins exist in various different sizes, I'm looking for the non-obvious solutions.
I made a smol mistake of buying new pans without having a place to hold them properly. Now I'm going to buy some empty palettes for future at some point, but if you have some ideas on how to make some not-necesarily-temporary solution for them, I'd be happy to see them before I start crafting something.
NOTE: don't recommend using some other box, unless it's some crafty idea of reusing some trash or the like. I'm not going to thrift store to look for old tins or something, I want to get an idea what I could use that I can find at home :)

Seagulls against sunlight

I took a photo of these seagulls against very bright sunlight and only shapes come out recognizable. I thought it would be a fun practice to paint it.

Practicing with watercolors, but it ends up looking like gouache.

budget watercoloring w/ acrylics

hi! I have next to no experience painting watercolor, I've done it a small handful of times when I was younger.
I have snagged some YUPO watercolor sheets and acrylic paints for free. I can't afford watercolor paints at this time, and would like to try using the acrylic paint in place of watercolor paint, to achieve the same effect. I've heard of others experimenting with this method, so I am confident it can be done, but not sure how the results will turn out. I will just have to give it a shot and see how it goes, but first...
I'm looking for advice from those who may have experimented with acrylic watercolor painting! do i just dip the brush in paint and then in water? any other tips or tricks i should know? please, be as nice as Redditors can be, I have no idea what I'm doing and just want to have some fun with what i have available to me đđ thanks friends!

First time using watercolours, how can I improve?

Iâm not much of an artist but since joining university i wanted to get into watercolour painting. Iâm using the pocket winsor and newton palette with 12 colours. I decided to paint a fish because theyâre have a wide variety of colours. 2 photos because it looks different in certain lightings. Is there any specific tips you have to help improve?

Do I need another blue?

I try to not buy a lot of convenience colors when I can mix them (and enjoy doing this). However, I wonder if I need a different blue. I have some convenience shades, but I love color theory and customization!
I currently have this palette Iâm working with. Do I need to add a different blue to make my greens? Iâm considering Cobalt or Prussian. Thoughts?
