Top 7 Tips On How To Care For Your Glass Palette

AMAZING TOP TIPS

(1) Do not mix acrylic and oil paints on the same palette. Make a separate palette for each material.

(2) Keep paint for later by covering it with plastic wrap (up to 2 days). You can place a wet sponge under the plastic wrap to wrap to create humidity in order to keep the paint longer.
(i) To Clean - For Acrylic Paint: Scrape off unwanted paint while it's wet. Allow the remaining paint to dry completely. Spray water over the dried paint and wait for 2 minutes until the paint begins to pucker. Use an angled palette knife to scrape up the paint. Then use a cloth or rag to wipe down the remaining bits of paint.
Note: Do not put the palette underwater.


Where To Buy: AVAILABLE ON AMAZON

(ii) To Clean - For Oil Paints: Scrape off unwanted oil paint using an angled palette knife. Place a few drops of odorless turpentine onto the paint to soften it before scraping. Wipe down with a cloth to remove any additional paint that may remain.
Note: Do not use water.

(3) Do not clean your palette in a sink, It will damage the foam core.

(4) For more advanced color theory practice, The white foam core can be changed out for a neutral gray foam core.

(5) If the tape gets gummed up, or if the foam core becomes stained, remove the tape and replace the foam core. The glass will last longer for many years.

(6) To clean very old, discolored glass palettes, Scrape the paint off with a straight-edge razor blade and odorless turpentine.

(7) Do not mix textured mediums on your palette or it may scratch the surface of the glass.
