In this week's art video, I'm sharing my entire process for preparing a new watercolor palette using Daniel Smith tube paints.

I've included everything: what I do to prepare my plastic palette for less beading and color separation when mixing colors, how I choose the paint colors that I'll be adding in, how I organize my colors in my palette, how I fill in wells with tube paint, and how I create a color chart that I can keep coming back to over time. 👀🖌️

Lots of must-know information and tips are shared along the way.  👩‍🎨

Hope you enjoy and find this one helpful! 💙
