I like the way the colors mix on it, and it cleans up, good as new, without staining, so I always have a very clean white mixing area.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614772953402745061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16108321.post-88108454377975181222012-08-05T18:02:53.643-05:002012-08-05T18:02:53.643-05:00Hi I know this is an older post but I just found y...Hi I know this is an older post but I just found your site. I was wondering why the porcelain palette, and not a plastic one for watercolors? They are so heavy. <br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368215411130878123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16108321.post-76512684774078444092010-11-05T19:58:42.655-05:002010-11-05T19:58:42.655-05:00Elizabeth - the palette certainly is too heavy to ...Elizabeth - the palette certainly is too heavy to just carry around. How generous of you to be willing to give it away just for the cost of shipping. However, I haven't<br /> thought of a "worthy artist", but I will give it some more thought.<br /><br />Annie - "deep joy" is a good way to put it.<br /><br />I am going to try to remember to reach for that orange once in awhile - it is pretty.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614772953402745061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16108321.post-56367276368741240152010-11-02T17:47:04.459-05:002010-11-02T17:47:04.459-05:00Yes, Catherine, WIND IN THE WILLOWS is a splendid ...Yes, Catherine, WIND IN THE WILLOWS is a splendid child's book. Of course, Ratty was talking about messing with boats but it seems to express the same deep joy that we have messing with paint.<br /><br />I agree that your orange looks lovely placed there on your palette. I have no idea what to do with any orange so I just bought some pyrrole orange to play with because Bruce MacEvoy recommended it on his Handprint.com. I like the look of the way it flows on my paper.Maybe I'll try some orange poppies. <br /><br />annieanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021356337010751802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16108321.post-39915082459383973182010-11-02T11:04:45.414-05:002010-11-02T11:04:45.414-05:00I, too, have a Quiller porcelain palette but never...I, too, have a Quiller porcelain palette but never used it because it is SO heavy... now that my "studio" is in my living room, it is a little too big. I do love his color theory and seeing it put into the real thing in your studio. <br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><br />PS If you know of some worthy artist that would like mine, I am happy to ship if off if they pay for the shipping cost.Elizabeth B Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424287286591608570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16108321.post-6807547620258650982010-11-01T18:03:31.333-05:002010-11-01T18:03:31.333-05:00Annie - I love your "quote"!
As for t...Annie - I love your "quote"!<br /><br />As for the palette colors, you are pretty close. Quin gold,new gamboge, hansa yellow med., thalo yellow green, undersea green (doesn't really fit in there, but I like it) thalo green yellow shade, manganese, Prussian blue, ultramarine, indigo, cobalt violet,quin rose,quin red,quin coral, burnt scarlet, quin burnt orange, pyrol orange (which I never use but it looks good there, doesn't it?).Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614772953402745061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16108321.post-30088905450103624122010-11-01T16:39:59.052-05:002010-11-01T16:39:59.052-05:00To paraphrase Ratty to Mole in WIND IN THE WILLOWS...To paraphrase Ratty to Mole in WIND IN THE WILLOWS, There is absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as much as simply messing about with paints...Just lifts the heart and stirs the imagination. This is great fun for us, too, Catherine, though I'd like to see the whole circle of those little squares with all the names.<br /><br />From your earlier lists,I imagine: <br />PY153 or Quin Gold and a lighter yellow; Thalo yellow-Green, Thalo Green and Hookers, your beloved Manganese, Ultra, Cobalt Blue and a darker or neutral; your beloved Cobalt Violet, Quin Magenta or some dark blue-red, Quin Red, Quin Rose and/or Permanent Rose, maybe Alizarin Crimson? And the ones around the Orange might be Burnt Sienna or Burnt Scarlet or Light Red? <br /><br />annieanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021356337010751802noreply@blogger.com
