Tips to DIY a Palette & Save Paint!

Tips to DIY a Palette & Save Paint!

Resourses:
The gadget I used to get the paint out of the tubes is a tube wringer, Jerry's has them the cheapest. Don't bother with the paint saver keys. the one I have is similar to $5.99 model but if you can swing it I'd go with a metal one.

I did find a sourse of affordable empty half-pans and full pans, I just ordered 40 halfs and 30 fulls from Jacksons Art Supply on amazon and no matter how many you order (and you can combine half and full pans) it is just one shipping charge of $3.50 from UK to USA. I am not affilated with Jackson's or Amazon but it was the best deal I could find (26 cents half/39 cents full), here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...

The tin came with the Qor set of watercolors. I got a big tin with each set of 6 paints I ordered. They have switched to smaller tins for the small sets because artist complained buti like the big tins. You might ask where you order if you can get a set in a large tin if they still have them. currently Jerry's has the best price on these at $20.00 (which is a couple bucks less than what I paid sheesh!) http://www.jerrysartarama.com/qor-wat...

I got the magnets from Oriental Trading but there is noting specail about them, just look for a good price, I got 200 for $6 http://www.orientaltrading.com/self-a... or you could use rubber cement to tack down your pans but i wanted to be able to move the colors I wanted over to my mixing side so I did not get confused:) and also be ableto rearrange them.

I wrote the names on my pans with a ultra fine tip sharpie which I also use to do watercolor pen and ink with:)
