Repurposing an Old Watercolor Palette

Why I Decided to Destroy My Old Watercolor Palette

To be perfectly honest, I needed to switch things up a bit. I was starting to feel a bit burned out and needed to do something creative yet with little effort. So after finding my very first watercolor palette at 3 a.m. in the morning – I started to reminisce about using it in the past and wondered if I could revive it with my new paints. This palette was from when I first started experimenting with ink and watercolors as well as painting more cartoon characters than realistic still lifes. So I wanted to restore it!

What Paints Did I Use?

Below is a list of the colors I included in this palette from Amazon, along with a picture of their placement in the palette. If you purchase through one of the links below – I’ll receive a small compensation to help support the channel! So thanks in advance!
