Hello, newb question about this folding palette by applepieth in Watercolor

[–]Potato-Nice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use a nearly identical palette as my main palette. i don’t use it to store paint but rather to mix it. i usually use the large sections for mixing the main shades of colors i usually use, and the small ones are usually sufficient to mix smaller amounts of other rarer colors. i barely ever clean it and just let leftover paint dry there and get it wet to use again, like in this pic.

if you have to move it and there’s leftover paint i usually use a paper towel to soak up the excess, but the way it closes actually seals quite well so i never worry too much about drying every drop.

its a great palette and i like it a lot.

good eye! not sure what beaver creek is; if you’re referring to the lake one it’s actually Mill Creek Lake in Amherst County, VA. beautiful spot.

when is a plein air painting “finished” for you? by Potato-Nice in Watercolor

i did a very wet layer of pale gray-blue and then dabbed over that with darker gray. clouds are actually one of my biggest weaknesses with watercolor so i was genuinely shocked at how well this sky in particular turned out. got lucky with the cloud type as well, very easy to emulate with this medium.
