 maybe a small little croissant with my little tiny tiny burger here and my my little tiny french french stick of bread yeah um I'm sorry I obviously really like miniatures I have a thing with little tiny things that is so satisfying and cute to look at and yeah so when I saw this I couldn't resist it I thought it was super cute we need to zoom in here yeah I knew that I needed to get it because it's so sweet it's got go draw embossed inside and basically what it is it's a little palette and it has magnets so it does that and it's super super small people probably like wondering what is the point of that so basically you take your little sketchbook and you open it up to the page that you want and then you you clip it on like this and then you have a sweet little plain-air palette to go outside with and do tiny possibly just like outline sketches not too much because this is really small so I want to try it obviously I haven't been outside in like a decade now it feels like but yeah don't you guys love this isn't it so cute it's from a little private indie company on Etsy and I will link them down below but I just adore this little palette I just think it's so sweet just meant for a little bit of plain-air drawing I just thought I would show you my plain-air sketchbook it's not really a plain-air sketchbook I bought it before I went on a trip with Chris and I took like the Sakura watercolors so I did a lot of like drawing outside in this sketchbook I went on holiday intending I was like I'm gonna fill this sketchbook and it's gonna be amazing this was like 2019 January just before we got engaged so there you go here's a little practice doodle here's Chris at the airport so you've got the dates here 210119 here's just me waiting at the airport so I drew a suitcase because that's so interesting here is a little view of my airplane trip and yeah I was super crushed in the sea because the person in front of me decided that putting their seat back was an acceptable thing to do here is like we went on a cruise ship and we were watching the greatest showman so I just drew like the sky and I don't know why it wasn't really that interesting of a drawing but looking back on it now I'm like oh yeah we watched that outside it was quite sweet especially now that we don't get to go anywhere I'm like wow look at this is amazing here is a palace in Bangkok so I really like the architecture there I really like drawing just like the sky and then bits of a building I think that's pretty obvious there's a drawing of Chris's feet because I think once we were on like had sea days on the ship it was like what do I draw I hear some gesture drawings of people I really like this woman here I really like that I managed to get a bit of a sense and feel of these people on the cruise ship I quite like gesture drawing and I wish I could do it more often but again COVID this was like a bingo bar thing like and what I was doing is I just I think I just took like one pencil and I just drew and then I would do like a rough water color wash over the top here are some catfish in the Bangkok River here is a little statue that we saw which was really funny and cute probably supposed to be quite fearsome this was a painting on the wall that I copied off the cruise ship I don't know why I did that not quite sure pool room quite interesting it kind of takes me right back to being there which is really cool so it's like even though these are little glimpses into like just some area that I was in that's not really that interesting now looking back in the sketchbook a few years later it's really cool to just see it I got some pens from Ho Chi Minh City I was just testing them out I think they were like super cheap kind of highlighter type pens and they weren't that great but they were quite fun to mess with some flowers and I think that's where I just kind of stopped doing stuff because I was on holiday I have this thing where I can't stop like anyway yeah so I thought it would be fun to just paint something in here and date it I think what I'll do is not go outside because of COVID but look online for some reference images and sort of attend that I'm there so first off we need to fill up this bad boy I have my little pesto pencil case that is filled with my tubes of watercolor and I thought it would be best to use watercolor because I think with watercolor a little goes a long way so I'm just gonna pick out my favorites I have my Schminke ones which are really nice and then there's not much left of them so they're probably perfect for this this company also has like different sized palettes which is really sweet they have some really nice ones like really nice other ones I think this is like such a well-made little thing I'm in love with it I'm sorry I bought this myself by the way they didn't send me this or anything so this is totally my my own opinion and yeah I know it's very small but it's my thing I like small things and I like really big coffees so yeah I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of these Van Gogh ones so much I have also Holbein ones that I bought from Japan when we went I've got the Japan video where I did a big art hall if you want to go watch that and see what I bought yeah I'm not a huge fan of the I really like the Windsor and Newton professional grade ones they're pretty good and the Cotman ones are really good but I think I'm gonna go with this I'm gonna keep it relatively small I'm gonna grab like a toothpick or something so I can arrange the the paints a little better okay let's try this out I'm really excited to start using this I think they're really cute I've got like a cute thing going on Obsession. Pesto manure. You're in the shaft pesto oh really thanks for that she's super hyper right now which is typical of like when I'm filming a video okay so here we go is the first one the white this is a little tiny titanium white I really don't I'm like don't get on the word I'm gonna be a bit weird about it I'm obsessed I've got paint all over my hands somehow because even though it's the diniest drop of paint this happened why next we're gonna use the Aquarelle permanent red color okay I am gonna spill on the edges I'm so sorry I'm getting a bit annoyed by it too and I can only imagine what the angry Karen's out there are thinking there we go there's the tiny little paint palette and we love with it guys you might be like what's the point of this it's like a drip a tiny drip of paint but let's let's see maybe it maybe it comes to be super useful I've got this tiny little pot of water and a little tiny jar it's not that tiny everything is not really in proportion with each other but I'm gonna use that and I'm gonna use a small brush probably what I should be using is one of those like water brushes you know those like plastic brushes and you put water in them and then slowly you can like squeeze out the water for when you're outside painting but I'm not a huge fan of those and also I don't know where mine are I think I've got a few of them but they're somewhere in the house I haven't needed to use them again Covid's a thing so I haven't gone out painting I have this rather small washi tape did I consider cutting it so it was even smaller yes is that something I want to lay it wake at night thinking about sometimes in the near future no so we didn't do it I'm just gonna use just this smaller version of what she did could you could you not she was still right here right pasto as cute as you are okay we are doing something here we're doing something today and I'm sorry you didn't get a job okay I'm sorry that it didn't happen for you you've interviewed well but in the end you just didn't have the skill set to oh my gosh I can't you did get the job you absolutely the CEO okay you are okay so I guess what I'll do is I'll lay it down like a color as best they can and then just go through it okay that's cute I'm just doing like a little simple scene I think that's looking a bit too like straight out of oh no oh no that's gonna be the white is now blue get over it it's happened everyone it's probably not best for me actually this tiny because I am really like bad with mixing colors of other colors because I just tend to go for stuff yeah quite a lot of bang for your buck with watercolors that's the thing so really like that is a good amount to have on the go and just do really quick doodles like I could package this up and for instance when I was actually traveling I could just go out for the day and do some little doodles and I think it's really cute and I can't wait for the day when I can actually go out and really use it again because when you're traveling and you're doodling stuff you just want to do like a really quick impression anyway of the things around you I really want to go somewhere can you tell I think we all do though so all in the same boat it's not like people are sitting at home like yes this is perfect I never want to travel again so everybody is feeling the same I guess we're playing adoring though you could like sit for hours and paint something or you could just do something really quick to get like an idea and just get a feel of doing a landscape and you know like trying to understand stuff visually from outside and finding things in nature that will help you with like trying to come up with compositions and different ideas for yourself so I think playing a drawing is obviously very important can we do it now no so do we do it and pretend that we're traveling yes yes we do I once found out like where I went to university that I'm Hyomiyazaki because I went to university in Wales and I found out that Hyomiyazaki used to take the train up to this place called Ronda which was very near where my I did my foundation course in art there like near there and he used to take the train up and draw and do studies out there and I was just like oh my god then you're gonna move on to the second painting and then go back in we work this whilst I wait for this to dry currently I am just looking at Pinterest because I think Pinterest is a really good tool it's really useful to just kind of get references and paint stuff in your own style I mean like some people struggle with that being able to like visualize stuff for themselves so I think it's important that you have all these references like we're really lucky that we have the internet these are really fun as well because they're just super quick so there's a lot of room for error you could just go for it and not have too much pressure to be like this needs to be perfect because you're doing something really quick and small and you're just getting like an impression of what you're doing and an impression of the area so it's just I think like maybe if you look at this little tiny palette and they think it's a bit silly but look how much I've been able to use and I've still got lots of paint left you do get a lot out of a little bit of watercolor I don't know how good this would be for like say gouache because gouache I feel like I use a lot more because I like to layer it a lot but that could be for the future I could have a little go to see how this thing handles gouache let me know in the comments down below if you'd like to see that or if you're done with this tiny but I'm kind of not done with it I think it's so cute problem is if I was out in the wild out there in nature if I did do this thing that I usually do where I mix up the paints by accident I'd be pretty screwed I guess but then if I was in one spot for instance if I was in a really green area I guess if everything is tinged with green it wouldn't be such an issue so yeah there's pros and cons I guess if you do like the idea of this they do have like slightly bigger ones so you could possibly get a bigger one and have the same similar results I'm a bit in love with it to be honest probably people watching it like get over it but I really think it's so pretty so yeah I'm just doing like a bit of impression of what I see in these images I'm imagining that I'm here in the blue listering cold weather with the the the wind coming at me from all angles and trying to get my hand to stay steady whilst this wind does at me and yeah that's what I'm imagining whilst I'm trying to do this what would it be like to be out in nature again here we come across a wild artist in her natural habitat trying to pretend that she is not in her home comfy with a cluster coffee and filming I think what I would do if I was out painting I would probably take a little water jar with me because I prefer it to those water you know those water paint brushes where you squeeze it and the water comes out I think I don't like those very much because you can't really control the water so much but yeah if I had this I could empty it out and then pour fresh water into it because now you can see that it's getting a little bit green and sometimes we don't want that to tint what's happening with the watercolour so say if I was gonna go in with the white it would tint it a little bit I mean I'm a little bit all over the place hectic with painting stuff so I don't really mind but maybe that's a little tip for some people who might mind that kind of thing change your water because then you get dirty muddy paints otherwise and I don't really care but you might aren't you glad you subscribed guys if you have if you haven't like got left already and unsubscribed at the same time please don't please come back because there's a lot of light like reflecting off this mountain and it looks kind of pinky purple which is pretty this this watercolour smells very weird kind of smells smells really weird thanks for that description you're welcome guys it smells weird okay I'm gonna move on back to this one we're working in tandem here I suppose if I was out and about I would bring a little cloth with me then I could use it to clean my brush off but also like to dab away colour that I've made a mistake on then you can simply just pop this in the wash and it will get rid of all the paint so I'm just trying to pick up a bit of the paint because I think I went a bit too much with it going back towards colors you kind of forget that you have to be very careful with what you're laying down with wash you can just layer and layer and layer it's when I was like using this palette I thought like oh the colors might run out really quickly but that's okay because you could probably take like some of these small tubes of you on the go but now I'm like actually it's kind of lasting a really long time so maybe you don't even need to like hurry any tubes of paint with you it's kind of working out very good work little tiny palette you're doing you're doing good what yeah I really do wonder like how it would be with gouache to be honest like how long would it last and because you can use gouache like you use watercolours so if you went in with that kind of mentality of trying to use it like it's watercolours then maybe it would work out yeah I'm just doing like an impression of the landscape basically that I'm seeing here before me in my interest not in real life I think I might be overworking these because I really like the way that they're looking like you know what I mean like they're just looking like a bit of an impression a quick sketch of the area that I'm in and on my way I'm going back home or I'm going on my walk my rest away walk my hike and off so I think that would be perfect for a little tiny plain air session what do you guys think I think they're so lovely and look it's super lasted let's see how it goes if I shot this and imagine that I'm on my way so I'm just gonna shot it and I mean you can put that anywhere but pop it back in my bag the da da da I'm walking I'm walking and I go back home or I see the mess looking fine I mean obviously I just shook it in my hands for a second and so it's not really the same experience but I believe that it would actually be quite tight and not spill in your bag and then you could just really quickly wash it I do worry about the wood and water but I think this has been treated in a way that it's just gonna be fine oh well I hope it has been anyway it seems really well made with the magnets here and the magnets there and this little imprint I really really like it I I keep going on but I just think it's so nice with this little porcelain inlays as well it's so well made anyway let's see what these paintings look like quickly let's do a little peely action yeah this is my tiny plane a plane air drawings and I wonder what you guys think if you like this little tiny palette as much as I did and if you would like a little croissant to go with it or a little bakery bread let me know well that's it guys I hope that you really like this video I really like having a bit of a chatty video with you and using these let me know if you want to see different types of paint like gouache maybe acrylic gouache as well let's see what this thing can handle let
