Water ratio is key
Use damp brush to pick up color or activate paint on palette
Spray wells/palette to rewaken paint
Use paper towel to absorb water from brush
Use firmer brush to pick up pure paint from wells
Reserve two areas on palette: one for warms and one for cools
Remove excess water from wells using damp brush
Clean palette by rewetting paint and using paper towel to clean
When using thirsty brushes always mix more paint than you think you need
LESSON NOTES
🎨 MY PALETTE 🎨
The palette I'm using is a Mijello 18 wells palette (affiliate link). It's my current favorite for painting indoors.
Just to emphasize - it's not as good for working outside, as it doesn't have a thumb ring / strap. But it IS wonderful for working on a table inside (:
🎨 IT ALL BECOMES INTUITIVE WITH PRACTICE 🎨
If you are a beginner, some of this may seem overwhelming, but I want to reassure you. It all becomes 100% intuitive with practice. So I wouldn't sweat the details. I'd just put a lot of emphasis on practicing a lot. I can attest that it took me at least 6 months or so to start feeling more comfortable with, and aware of what I cover in this video.
So give it a go, and I wish you lots of success!
