YAY!! I just heard from Kate at Wet Paint Art Store. Holy COW, the palettes HAVE LANDED!! They are in store and Kate says they look BEAUTIFUL!! I can’t wait to touch, pet and admire mine. I know so many of you have been waiting to see this beautiful tin filled with the paints I picked. And now all we have to do is await shipping.
Kate said they will start shipping on this Thursday, July 5th. Wet Paint staff will pack everything you ordered plus the palette and move their way through the list IN ORDER OF DATE. The earlier you bought the palette, the earlier it will ship from Wet Paint. Kate estimates it’ll take two weeks to pack and ship all of the 281 palettes that have sold.
On that note… ONLY the first THREE HUNDRED palettes get a bee!
So, if you want one of THESE palettes AND one of my Bumble The Mascot Magnets, then order SOON. There are only NINETEEN bee magnets left!! (click the button below to buy the palette)
For those of you living under a rock, the palette tin above is filled with twelve beautiful half pans of Schmincke Professional grade watercolors picked by ME. Go here to read all about this project, it’s been a long time coming! Finally, we now have a beautiful, colorful tin that matches the gorgeous watercolors inside that tin.
I can’t wait to see all your photos of your beautiful new tin! Use the hashtag #customschminckepalette and we’ll all be able to find your art made with these colors AND your beautiful tin photos. Participate in PAINT PORN, let’s be honest, we all love looking at each other’s palettes. ;o)
Just to whet your appetite for those colors, here’s a piece I did using the Schmincke Palette for Hahnemühle’s Calendar contest. Today really is a RED LETTER DAY, a special day you mark on your calendar in red. Yep, the Schmincke Palette is on it’s way TO YOU!! Let us Celebrate!

I’m so excited! I may have moved from the front of the shipping order (I ordered the day they announced the palettes) to the end though since I just added some more colors on Monday! Kate had said they expected the palettes in about 2 more weeks so awesome that they have arrived. 🙂
I’m hoping to play with the new colors the last half ofwatercolor month…I’m trying to do at least something small everyday this month.

They ARE GORGEOUS! I was able to pick mine up yesterday evening. I work in Saint Paul and Wet Paint is my local, independent art store.
I spent half of last night night just petting and admiring them. My cat got very jealous.

I’m so excited to get this! I picked it up pretty fast so I’m hoping mine ships soon! Eckkkk
Three years ago I had a Schmincke palette but it was stolen. I’ve been sad about it but I’ve also slowly built up my collection of other professional paints so I never replaced it. But I’m so excited for this! Its going to be my birthday present to myself 🙂

I just received the paint set. Awesome, can’t wait to try it out. Tried to subscribe to your blog, but it would not accept my URL; jackjjenkinsphotograpy.com, which is a valid web site. All the best and thank you for a fine set of colors and excellent backup exclamation here on your blog. Jack
