 Hello, and welcome back to The Average. This video is sponsored by BetterHelp, so thank you so much for sponsoring this video, making it happen. Today, we are looking at this watercolor paint box because it's moisturizing, apparently. Well, I didn't see that until just now. Moisturizing, because I want to do, well, I want to make my own set of colors with this jelly gouache that I have, because I have two massive pallets of jelly gouache. And what I want to do is because I'm moving and these are going to be in boxes for a while. Why have I got blue paint on me already? How did that happen? Okay, anyway, I want to make my own little traveller's pack, he may say, and also it would be fun. Ooh, that's kind of cool as well. A little handy holding device, completely distracted. Also comes with this little scrappy tool, I think, which helps you scrape stuff off. I'm not sure why, but it's handy, I'm going to say, I'm going to say it's pretty bad handy. I've got all these colors, I've got too many, as we all know. Look at that, looking good. Needs a little bit of a spritz. These are doing quite well, sometimes they get a little bit like gross. I don't know if I want to use both of them. I think I do because these ones have like some metallics in them as well, which would be fun. This video is in paid partnership with BetterHelp.

Thank you again to BetterHelp for supporting this channel. I've either lost or packed my little spritzy bottles, so I'm just gonna use an old bottle of water. One's are dry, just a little glob of water in some of them. One's dry, you're dry. It's like watering plants. I'm alive, my prettys. This looks fine. What I've got, this is gonna intrigue you guys because it's just so clever. Some chopsticks from a Chinese takeaway I had the other night, and I'm gonna use them to mix the paints instead of a palette knife because I can't find those either. I think I've packed them, which is so clever of me. It's just really clever of me. Isn't that beautiful? I'm gonna look up some color palettes I think online and just use those because there's gonna be so many nice ones, and I want to do like a pastel mood board. These ones are cute, but it's only like four colors, so I'll have to figure out. Let's do pinks first. I'll just revive this one a little bit. So I'm gonna put it in. I feel like I need a little spoon or something. Maybe my little picker. This little picker could work. Okay, let's try the picker. The picker, that's not a way, that's not a thing, but is it gonna fit satisfyingly or is it just gonna like not work? There's a hair. It's an eyelash. Make a wish. I wish that you were like a subscriber. That was so cheesy. Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry about myself. Oh, awful. Okay, ooh, the scrappy is good. I'm liking the scrappy. There we go. There we go. Look at that. I think you need like just a little bit more to like, I really want it to be like topped up to the brim. So it looks beautiful. And then I want to like wipe the top because I'm gonna be really like dainty about this because I really wanted to look nice in the palette, which is really unimportant, but there we go. Moving on to the next color choice. Something that goes with this, but I kind of want to mix. I mean, that is nice and that is nice, but I want pastel. So I don't know, should I mix my own? Let's see. No one? I feel like it's impossible to not get messy during this process. I'm really trying. I wanted to make it more pastel. Sometimes when paint falls into other paint, I just mix it. The ratio is so like minimal that it works out sometimes. Oh, so satisfying when it like just mmm. So let's see if this works. I don't know why I want just pastels. I feel like that could be just a vibe. Why am I speaking like that? Literally lost a little scraper thing now. What the hell? Where's it gone? Okay, I really just, I do want to just just get this like, so it's really full. There we go. Two colors down. Next color. What are we going to pick? I think we need like another pinky color, I guess. And we're going to mix again, but using this pot again. So I'm going to just grab some more white. There we go. And I'm just going to mix it. I hope for the best. Because what is up? It's fun. So we're supposed to have fun with our supplies. All right. So I think the next part of this is I'm going to make a montage of me filling up these and wish me luck because I feel like this took me a solid 10 minutes to do. But let's see. Let's see where we get to. And once I'm done, I'm going to paint something with this. So stick around and find out. There we go. There is the final palette. It's all kind of pastel. Feel like I got the colors slightly out of order because I was just going for it and it took forever. But there we go. That's what it looks like. And I put extra white to the bottom because I know I always need white. I hope that this is going to be a fun palette to use on the go. Let's just seal it up and see what it looks like altogether. The lid is dirty now, of course, because that's the way it goes. Let's just seal it up if I can. I don't know what's wrong. Let's try again. Okay, this is the wide side. No, this is the wide side. There we go. Here's the palette. You can see here where I try to mix it inside the actual palette, but it was still fun. Oh my gosh, it looks cute with the cover on it as well. Let me just tidy away and we'll get to painting with this menu palette. Oh yeah, I painted this with oils a couple years ago now. It was my first attempt at oils and I hate it. So I want to go over gouache on top of it. I don't know if that's necessarily a good idea, but it is completely dry. It's been two years, so I don't see how it could really affect the paint underneath. Not necessarily change this, but just improve it. And I think this is really nice palette to do it with. This was kind of the inspiration color for the palette as well because I knew that I was wanting to do something with this painting and well, let's see how it goes. Here's the final piece. I probably could work on this forever and who knows maybe in a couple years I'll paint over this again and redo it, but here is the palette. It's a little bit messy now, but that's always bound to happen, but it was really nice and I can't wait to use this on the go. And here's the painting. So let me know what you guys think.
