Painting Tips: How to Keep a Clean, Organized Palette
When I first started painting there was one thing I really hated about it—scraping old paint off of my palette. (Well, besides cleaning oil paints out of my paint brushes, but I learned to deal with that.)
I originally used a durable glass palette which I’d clean off with a flat razor blade. Unfortunately, the process seemed to take forever. This being back in college, I usually left that task until right before my painting class started, and then tried to quietly clean it (and not cut myself) while the professor was demonstrating his painting lesson for the day.
But luckily that’s all in the past, and these days cleaning up is a breeze. My secret? I ditched the palette.
What I do now is take roll of wax paper, purchased at my local supermarket, and roll out a couple of sheets before painting.
For example, in my studio I have a tray/small table that I use as an oversize palette. After covering that with wax paper (using tape to hold the edges down) I just start to paint. The beauty of this is that when my “palette” gets cluttered and full of paint, I just roll out a new sheet and keep going.
My painting sessions tend to be long—there was a time when I’d go for 8-12 hours, not that I’d recommend that to anyone else. But at least during those marathon sessions there was no need to waste ten minutes scraping off paint and losing focus.
Plus, while I’m painting, the wax paper will stick to the wet layer of paint beneath it, which means I don’t have to fiddle with tape or anything else. It’s just a really quick fix.
Then when I’m finished I peel up all the layers of wax paper at once and throw it away.
No mess, no fuss. Plus, wax paper doesn’t cost much—I’m pretty sure it’s the cheapest item on my list of oil painting supplies for beginning oil painters.
And here’s another palette tip, for those of you trying to organize even further. Each time you paint, arrange your oils by placing them in order via the color wheel.
