Hi! I'm Honey & in this video, I'm going to show you how I set up my new Quiller palette. I've been thinking about getting a new watercolor palette for a while now & one day I woke up & I realized that I wanted to have a circular palette so I can arrange the paint colors in a color wheel. And
I looked & looked for a really good palette that had the exact number of wells that I needed & it took me a while but I was able to find this particular palette. This particular palette has 12 wells arranged in a circle. I found that's the perfect amount of wells that I need for the amount of colors that I have & it's not too many & it's not too few. The main reason i wanted to switch to a color wheel palette is because i wanted to switch to a limited color palette & I wanted to be able to see the relationships between the colors. Specifically, I wanted to see which colors are opposite of which colors easily. I'm using Daniel Smith's watercolors for the primaries. I'm using their primary set, which consists of Perylene Red, Hansa Yellow Medium, & French Ultramarine Blue.
For the secondary colors, I'm using the Daniel Smith Secondary Set which consists of Undersea Green, Quinacridone Burnt Orange, & Carbazole Violet.
Here's what the instructions look like on the inside. This one is for the Primary Set.
This is the swatch that came from the manufacturer.
Here are the descriptions for the Secondary Set.
This is what the colors look like swatched out by the manufacturer.
In addition to these 6 colors, I'm also adding a black which is Neutral Tint.
Let's open this palette up. This palette is around 11 inches by 14 inches, so it's pretty large. My old palette was around 8 by 8 inches when open & it folds up to a 4x8 so this is going to take up a lot more space on my table.
Here's what the back looks like.
It comes with instructions on how they recommend you set up the palette.
One gripe I have about this palette is that the actual palette doesn't nest inside the top so you have to put it side by side & it takes up a lot of space. I wish that it went in there but it doesn't fit. The top also serves as an additional mixing palette so you can mix your colors in there as well.
There are 12 wells inside the circle & there are another 12 wells outside of the circle so you can place your neutral colors in there.
The wells with the arrows are where you're supposed to put your primary colors & then the secondary colors go in between those primary colors. They have a recommendation on the instructions on where you're supposed to put each color as it relates to the color wheel. So I'm just going to place my tubes where I want them so I'm going to put the yellow at the very top the red on the left side & the blue on the right side & in between those colors I'm gonna put my secondary colors.
So the burnt orange on the top left, the green on the top right, & the violet on the bottom.
I'm going to place my Neutral Tint on the bottom left corner & that will serve as my black.
Once I've decided where I want to place the colors,
I'm just going to start squeezing out the paint.
I usually like to just put a small amount of paint on my well because I like to have a little bit of extra space to put the water in because I like to dilute my paints on one side & have like a more concentrated paint on the other side.
Whenever I set up a palette, I always like to do a color swatch. For this color swatch, I'm using watercolor paper, a pencil, & a ruler. I've listed everything I'm using in the description below.
With my pencil & ruler, I'm just marking out where all the wells are so I can draw lines to signify where they're located at.
Using my ruler, I'm just connecting those lines where I'm gonna place my color swatches at. I'm not gonna bother with making the actual circle because I want to have a lot of space to put my color swatch in.
With a waterproof micron pen, I'm writing the names of the colors.
