English | 1hr 35m | Video: 720p

In this class, we’re taking a look at how to set up and organize a custom watercolor palette for outdoor sketching.
Setting up your custom watercolor palette can be a step towards improving your painting experience, and you get to know your paints better. It also makes a lot of sense to fill your palette with the colors you like, and not just to use the random colors you get from a readymade kit.

Although this class is about setting up a palette, it's not necessarily about buying new paint! You know I'm a fan of rediscovering unused supplies and making the most of it. And that's what we will do (among many other things) in this class.

I will show you:
- how assembling your own palette with custom colors can give you better mixing results
- what kind of palettes are light and practical for outdoor use
- how different layouts for a palette can look like
- a bit of color and mixing theory, a look at primary colors
- how to read information on paint tubes
- what properties like transparency and opacity mean for your paintings
- how to decide if you should use tubes or pans
- practical tips, on rearranging palette space, filling up pans hassle-free, how to reuse spare parts, and keeping your field kit in order so it will last you a long time
