Great tips! For a palette I use 2 cookie sheets...1 on the bottom with damp toweling and parchment paper and one flipped over for the lid when I’m not painting. Stays wet and gives a nice big surface for mixing:)
Thank you for your tips. With the last tip, the bulldog paper clip, I use that same paper clip to hang my washed and wet brushes in a vertical (upright) position from a slotted rack, with the bristles pointing straight down so the water runs out of the bristles and not back up into the brush.
Great tips, thanks! When I have to mix a large amount of colour I use the lid from a jar. That way I'm not using up a lot of palate space and I can wrap the lid in cling wrap to save the mix for second or third layers or extra mixing for later variations on the colour.
I love working with the wet palette, I've just completed the misty forest you did, I'm well chuffed with it! Thanks for all your info, I've found it invaluable as a beginner.
Clive thank u for the tips. Especially for the wet pallet. I had actually wondered if that would work I just had not tried it yet. I have a wood pallet which I cover with wax parchment paper. Thanks again
Hello Clive and wonderful grandpa Joe. I just found you know and I feel so lucky. I usually paint oil but now I want to learn and paint acrilics. You certainly have gave me precious tips. I already subscribed. I will be seeing you and may I say you are quite a nice person. Grace from Portugal
I love your tips, so funny! I am just starting out. Have bought my Reeves acrylic paints and brushes, just need to get my palette and sort out a canvas now.
Very cool tips! lol @ trying to get that wrap off the roll. There are times when those rolls go flying threw the air here. I have little patience for it. But then after I toss it... I have to go get it off the floor anyhow so it is better to be patient. lol Thanks so much for the great hacks to save money in the studio. I am all for that! Big ART Hugs to you. :D
Clive, something else I use is a half of a styrofoam ball found in the craft areas of stores, just punch it in and they stand up ready for use, I keep all my brushes by type in these styrofoam halves...just FYI, my hack😁saves a lot of time looking for which brush is where, and I have a LOT of brushes and painting knives which can be inserted blade tip down in size order holds great! Figured ur sharing, I would too, I have other hacks as well...😁
Hi Clive was wondering if any of your hacks like the bottle caps on your pallet work for oil paints? I do more oil than acrylic but like both watch yours and I love Bob Ross and Jason Bowen. I use mostly Bob Ross oils. Was also wondering if there’s a tutorial on the Red Dragon I see in the background of your studio?
Hi Clive, hope you're well and not flooded. Have a question on your tip no 2. In another video you told, that a simple way to keep colors moist is kitchen paper, water and parchment paper for that. Here it's cling film, what's the better tip? Thank you for answer and regards from the southwest of Ireland.
Cling film over the paint works ok my method is great as well all you need to think about is evaporating water from the paint prevent that and you will be fine
Clive, I'm used to painting in oils but I wanted to learn acrylic too. I've been watching your videos. I wonder where you learned to be a ventriloquist. I like the Welsh accent too. My question is: since white paint is used more than the others. Could an acrylic wall paint be used instead. It has the same properties. It could be purchased at a hardware store or other stores that carry it. Being Welsh myself, I'm very cost conscience. It must be in the genes, think ye?
Do you have any idea how to clean out plastic paint tubes. Your tip is great with metal but not plastic tubes because air enters plastic tubes Craft paints are in bottles but the craft store sells their paint in plastic tubes
I use doggy pads. I put it on my table with my water and after dipping the brush in water I touch the doggy pad and it absorbs the excess moisture. I also use one on my lap to help keep clothes paint free. I use it after I am painting to wipe off my brushes very well before washing. This helps keep a lot of paint going down the drain. I can let the pad dry and use it again. The one on the table I keep turning it around after each session of art. This saves on kitchen paper towels.

I just love your puppets ❤️

Hahahahahaha this so cool & cute 😀☺, all art tools are expensive thank you for helpful advice .
Thank you

The caps could be used for oils the dragon I did for myself but I do have plans to the paint it

Thank you
Would lemon juice work like the vinegar and smell better also???
Possible they are both acidic
Which brand of paint did you use in this video?
Do you have ventriloquist training videos? I think I could learn alot from you! Pls?😁❤😁❤😁❤😁
In tip no.4, was it plain tap water or something different? Couldn't catch what was said. Please help.
Thanks so much! Bye!
Cannot find how to make gesso at home. Could you please point me to it? Ty!
#clive5art gesso
Quick question what's the name of the plate that you use?
Plate or pallet
Great tips but we're did you get the Welsh bloke from grandad lol
He was in the studio when I arrived lol
Clive, I'm used to painting in oils but I wanted to learn acrylic too. I've been watching your videos. I wonder where you learned to be a ventriloquist. I like the Welsh accent too. My question is: since white paint is used more than the others. Could an acrylic wall paint be used instead. It has the same properties.

Do you have any idea how to clean out plastic paint tubes. Your tip is great with metal but not plastic tubes because air enters plastic tubes Craft paints are in bottles but the craft store sells their paint in plastic tubes
Most paint manufacturers are using metal ones I think there is no air vents as that will allow the paint to dry out
I use doggy pads. I put it on my table with my water and after dipping the brush in water I touch the doggy pad and it absorbs the excess moisture. I also use one on my lap to help keep clothes paint free. I use it after I am painting to wipe off my brushes very well before washing. This helps keep a lot of paint going down the drain. I can let the pad dry and use it again. The one on the table I keep turning it around after each session of art. This saves on kitchen paper towels.
Old towels are good also I found them harsh on the Brushes tho
I put my paint brushes into a flower oasis cost a £1 at home bargains
Great idea
Hi Clive, I'm just starting out with painting, but unsure of how to set up my space for me being left handed. Any tips please 😃
Just make your self comfortable I’m right handed so all my stuff is too my right so just copy that idea
