The split primary palette appears to have the capabilities of being like an old tv channel tunning knob. As long as you have the required pigments just turn and adjust to the next color scheme.

I've just stumbled across your channel and so glad I did. I enjoy your informative videos and they are a tremendous help to us newbies. Thank you very much for sharing! New subscriber 🤗

I have the Stephen Quiller porcelain palette and it comes with the same number of wells. I had an a hard plastic one similar to American Journey but found a good price. The paint doesn’t drift like it did on the plastic. I can mix several colors and not wonder how much is really there so I think it is making me less wasteful with pigment. I hated washing my palettes whether with Soft Scrub or the white sponges. My other plein aire palette is a metal one that also has 48 half pans but I put in 31 or 32 mostly whole pans. I used the porcelain paint on the mixing side and it does work. It is what one would use to refinish a porcelain piece. It seems most of my wc is DS too, DaVinci a couple of Winsor & Newton and a Holbein white gouache. Thank you for reviewing the Phaloblue turquoise. The greens are beautiful. I don’t have new gamboge but deep Hansa is very close maybe brighter and I bet it will make some very moody lovely clouds. Who knows it might go where my Cerulean was. Thank you. If you ever get a chance to compare permanent alizarin crimson from Davinci to DS I recommend it totally it is a pleasant surprise. I tried the greys too and still fall back to neutral and Payne’s but I think maybe my fav was Zbudvic’s cool grey with it’s slight granulation. Well take care and thanks again for sharing the Phalo blue turquoise.

Hi Jennie, Thanks for letting me know about the porcelain paint for adjusting a plastic palette surface. I hadn't ever heard of that, I might have to try that some time. Yes, I believe Hansa Yellow Deep is very similar to New Gamboge, but a little brighter. I appreciate all your shared information.

Yippee I have all the primary colors you're using! Didn't like my cad red and finally decided to substitute pyrrol scarlet; just got it haven't tried yet. I recently got the quin rose because you were using it in other videos but glad you explained more the difference in using quin rose instead of alizarin. This video helps explain some of the other "whys" like hansa yellow light is less opaque. Noticed you don't have any of your favorite mixes done in advance. I know it's nice to get more variety of the colors by not totally mixing, but still tempting for me. Thanks for another informative video :).

Hi Gina, I am glad the video clarified my reasoning of why I use certain colors. I have a blog post on my website that talks about creating vibrant mixes with more color theory info if you interested.

It's funny, I just substituted my pyrrol scarlet for French vermillion by Sennelier... Pyrrol Scarlet is so pretty and useful, but it intimidates me because it's fine pigment makes it harder for me to control as a beginner. Is it weird to be scared by a watercolor? 😂

I bought the Quiller round palette last year at your recommendation, and it's far exceeded my expectations. I like how deep the wells are, so I can squirt out the tubes at once and refill less often. It took a bit to plan out my cools/warms in the round layout, but once done, it really takes some of the guesswork out with blending (your earlier video helped a lot). I made a map replicating the palette so I can see the colors in action on paper (helpful). It has just enough wells for colors I use regularly in landscapes, plus a couple for the odd botanicals. I do notice that it stains easily, so I have to remember to wipe up my paint before closing up for the day. Before this, I used a Pike palette for 18 years or so. Great palette, but cleaning the square wells was annoying (you have to soak it for a bit and use a toothbrush to get completely clean). The Quiller is really everything I could ask for in a palette. Thank you so much for sharing these videos!

Hi Beth, I am so glad you like the Quiller palette. As far as the palette staining, I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on it. I will leave paint on it until I need a clean area or start a new painting. When it stains the Magic Eraser cleans it off easily. I don't use the ones with soap or fabreeze in them, just the regular or extra strength. I am glad my videos have been helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
