Sometimes I scribble ideas in my journal that I find online, usually ideas from other artists of their chosen palettes or sketching setups. I found this very portable setup on Art Toolkit’s 23 November Instagram post, highlighting artist JC Little (@theanimatedwoman). It looks so doable, I jotted it down — and am posting it here in my blog to remember in case I forget which journal it was in.
It uses a small acrylic support with a 2” square ZigZag sketchbook held in place with a Cross Band (available from arttoolkit.com) and magnet clips around the edge holding a Demi Palette, extra mixing pan, and water. The water container is a regular prescription bottle with a quarter attached to the bottom to be held by the magnet. Overall BRILLIANT idea!
Yesterday I received a postcard from Art Toolkit featuring their new Drawn to High Places Pocket Palette, a collaboration with artist Nikki Frumkin. Many of the pigments are not in my stash so I played around with similar ones I do have. It seems strange to not have any earthy neutrals, but I may play around with these colors sometime. I keep a Demi Palette and ZigZag sketchbook in my purse — but with Covid-19, we just don’t go anywhere so it never seems to come out to play!
