How do I make a watercolor palette correctly? This question comes up way more than you'd think. I remember the first time I was going to prep a palette and I was extremely discouraged because I had no idea how. As far as I knew, watercolors belonged in pre-made cake palettes, while acrylic paints were in tubes, but WATERCOLORS in TUBES?! That was crazy. No way.
This class is going to set you up to create your very own YOU palette of YOUR favorite colors without making crucial mistakes. You know... when you watercolor knocks loose and falls out or when you try to mix colors but your palette makes the water just bead up? Yeah.. this class is going to help you avoid all of that nonsense.
