Love the suggestion of using a stick for white paint. Very smart.

Putting the magnets inside the pans is my favorite one! So smart!

Why glue them when you can just... do nothing? The lazy way always wins 🤣

You can buy ones with adhesive backings! That way I can just stick them to the bottom and not deal with glue or them being covered in paint.

You can also use magnet roll, with sticky back, cut to size, I've used it for loads of art supplies,,even holding pins and needles for opening glue 😊

Exactly! I hate having to repaint a swatchcard every time I move things around on my palette!

Wow, these were actually useful. My curiosity gets the better of me, I end up clicking a lot of these "hack" videos for art stuff and its frustratingly basic and NOT hacks. "Use water with watercolor!" Wow, who would have thought. The magnet INSIDE the paint pan is genius. I have the issue of them popping out of those tabs and having to re-sort them, the magnet is gonna be a game changer!

I’m so glad it was useful and lived up to the expectation 😮‍💨 With the magnets, just make sure they’re strong magnets like the ones I have linked so that they have enough strength to go through the plastic of the pan 👍

love the format! when i first saw you put the magnet in the pan and then pour watercolour on top my first thought was "heresy!" in the most shocked and impressed way possible.

The moveable swatches blew my mind

I had that problem too. I switched to even tinier magnets. Maybe half that size? They work beautifully.

Brilliant! I already use and love the soap dish brush holder, soap before masking fluid and carbon paper hacks. But how did I never think of just putting the magnet IN the pan, making modular palette swatches and using the phone for value studies! My art life just got so much easier- best spent two minutes ever!

Thanks so much Margot. Have a great weekend.😊

Wonderful video - thank you for these hacks! 💖I was wondering, what do you use to stick the swatches to the sheet of paper - so that you can pop them off and reposition them? I am worried tape would damage the paper in the long run because of its grain 🤔

Great tips! What is the book with the rose you took a picture of? I’m intrigued!

I will also say that two minutes is too quick, or maybe you just want people to rewatch several times? Good luck and I look forward to your next painting video. Have a lovely day.

I would rather have this as a normal video. It's kind of hard to see what you're doing as well as look at the words at the same time. I realize that most people would have no problem, but I have a visual impairment. Following too many things on the screen is hard. So if this video were remade, I would definitely watch that video and give it a thumbs up.

Sorry to hear that. I’ve used it countless of times and it has preserved my brushes. It’s actually a tip I first learned through watercolor maestro Thierry Duval who swears by it too. Of course that doesn’t mean that it’s a miracle though. If you let the mask dry on your brush, or you use natural hair brushes for masking, nothing is going to save that from disaster.
