Thanks for the feedback! To answer a few unanswered questions, once the paint sediment has dried in the bottom of the container you can just throw it in the trash, it’s completely disposable at that time. Also if you have leftover paint in the bottom of a can or jar you can leave it open to dry, peel it out and throw it away or dispose of the entire container.🙏👍
thanks
Finally. I have been waiting years for someone to address this issue. MORE, PLEASE.
Thank you for that gift, the instruction on how to clean without hurting Earth more than we have to. My husband and I live over a creek and I worry about anything soaking into our groundwater. I appreciate this video.
I’m so glad, thank you!🙏
This was awesome Sara well done and thank you for caring for the planet. I know it is a lot of extra work but it is necessary, now more that ever we need to be mindful. And setting a good example for the next generation to know how important this is. Thank You Sara Love and Light to you and your beautiful family. 💓🤗😊🤗💓
Thanks friend ❤️✌️
Thanks for share this is a great idea to better dispose of paint without it going down the drain as much. Have a FABULOUS day Sara !!💜
Thank you for the video..I so appreciate your conscientious approach to disposing the remnants of our art form.
Thanks for sharing this Sarah - such an important part of playing with paint!
Terrific idea about the big bucket! Thank you for sharing ❣️
Thank you for this! Can you do a video where you talk about how you store your painted canvasses. Also, can you talk about what canvasses can be painted over. Any aspects of studio organization and structure would be helpful for creative types. I so appreciate your dedication to the exploration of color and form. Experimentation is so key in self-discovery as an artist. Thank you for sharing your vision.
That's exactly how I've been doing from the beginning! Thanks to @LeftBrainArtist's instruction. Acrylic paint is glue based substance and it can easily clogg your pipes. I know about a lady who this happened to. Can't remember how many euros she had to pay to get the pipes fixed but it was expensive! Those who have a balcony or live in family dwellings, it's easy to put the bucket outside and let the paint evaporates. It's important to place a mesh on top of it, so that the birds, bees and butterflies don't get into it. Thanks for sharing this important message!
Thanks Sara, I follow a similar procedure. It is great to limit our footprint. I will try your evaporation stage. I had been using a gravel pit to filter my diluted paint water.
That was GREAT, Sara! Thank you💕
💜🦄With this video you’ve become my new favorite fluid art artist. I love this. Yes 👍 this makes so much sense. I’ve struggle since my art room is my living room and kitchen, I often time have a sink full of water to put my wet supplies into. I the put all of the stuff into a bucket and take it outside to wash out. I really should have the bucket in the sink and remove a step. Absolutely love this. Yay!🦄💜
Wonderful! I’m so happy to help.🙏✌️
Thank you Sara. Very useful information. Love your work.💕
Thank you. Always wondered about how others clean up...
Wow!! Thank you so much Sara for another great, useful video. Anything I can do to lessen what goes down the drain is terrific. Not all my tools are silicone, and I hate throwing away plastic containers that are otherwise reuseable. I like the mason jar idea for storage too.
Glad to see videos like this, Sara! These are the important steps that no-one ever posts videos about! I think I looked for a long time before I found even one a few years back. More artists should include these just like they do the paint mixing videos.
Great Video Sara! I have been working on being conscious of what I do with my tools and paint. This has help tweaked my actions. You are the best!!!
Thanks Sara! For leftover house paint, many Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores have paint recycling, ony latex of course.
Thank you for showing a easy way to keep things clean and good for the environment.
Your welcome 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this video. There are healthy way of disposing of things and I’m so happy that you have done this video. I keep a water bucket in my art space and clean my tools etc as I go and store the buckets. I learned this from a colleague of mine because I just wasn’t educated enough on how putting paint down the drain can be so bad. Love the fan idea. It is fab. We need to look after this beautiful planet 🌍. Love everything that you share.
We have a paint disposal area at our city dump. Once I get started I will make sure I collect my all left over pai t and scrapings and drop off there. I have to trust that they will dispose of paints responsibly
So happy to see this video come up. It is what I am looking for. Thanks Sara.
Thanx for sharing this important tip. One step I would add would be to apply vaseline around the inside of the jar lid, tighten then turn the jar upside down for storage. This step will help prevent the paint from forming a film on top. The vasoline prevents paint from sticking and makes it easy to unscrew.
Also, if any separation takes place while in storage, it mixes well with a shake. It isn't easy to stir it once separation is on the top.
This is an interesting idea, my only concern would be that the oil from the Vaseline would get into the paint, do you think that would be a problem?
@@SaraTaylor Yes, that could be a problem if more than a thin coat of vaseline is rubbed onto the inside edge of the lid or on the outside of the screw area of the jar. The lid must be screwed on tightly.
I have always used this method for my acrylic art🎨🖼 paints as well as left over interior wall paints. I have happily never experienced infiltrated paints.😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
You are too amazing! I love your authenticity and tips you provide in every video. Thank you 🌺
Una buena lección, gracias
Fantastic thank you. Acrylic will clog your drain as well
Thank you! I have slaughtered our laundry room utility sink
I have a three-4 gallon bucket system where I rinse and clean everything. Water, soap brush water, and then rinse water. I then pour the water outside away from my garden. I have clover growing through it so I feel it's been diluted enough.
I have aerobic septic system and the paint would absolutely ruin it. Plus paint settles at the bottom of your pipes too. So not good!
I scrape all left over paint using a silicone spatula into another bucket and let the paint dry. My trash guy picks it up for me and takes it to dispose it. I pay him a little extra for taking it for me.
Good information, I also strain and reuse my drippings. Cleaning the tools is the most challenging. Mostly I just wipe them, let them dry and peel paint off if it gets to gross to use. I also try to use as much leftover housepaint as possible instead of buying new paint (of course can't always resist fancy paint), so helping other people to get rid of there half empty paint cans in their garages bringing them to good use.
That’s awesome Nathalie! I’m glad your thinking this way too.🙏❤️
Thank you for this! I always knew not to put it down the drain and have a bucket to wash, but didn’t know what to do with the stuff in the bucket afterwards. Very helpful 😊
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this video, very helpful.
Thanks so much Sara, this is very helpful...
Thank you. I try to use very little water.
Thank you very much, Sara👌❤
Great tips. Thanks so much.
You're awesome
Wow thanks for the great information
Great ideas
That was very helpful Sara. Thank you.
I also notice that you don’t use paper towels. What are your recommendations for cleaning your cloths and towels and do you ever use your washing machine to clean the towels. I have and watched so many fluid artists use lots of paper towels and I don’t imagine that is good either. Your suggestions would be most welcome. 🙏
Hi Rebecca, I go to Goodwill and buy an old bag of towels and tear them up for rags. I honestly don’t run them to the washing machine, I would worry that it would not be good for the machine. Once they are saturated I let them dry and toss them.
Thanks. Good idea. You ended with now you can throw it away ( the layers of dried paint). Throw it away where?
I was wondering the very same thing. The peelings are small, not like a bucket of paint water, but still the same amount of paint. UNLESS Sara’s was showing us how to prevent damage to the pipes in our house. I think that’s the answer.
It can throw dry paint in the trash, or get creative to reuse in your art!?😁
Thank you.
Thank you so much for that! So if I get this right, the big bucket that holds the paint water….the paint will separate and sink and then you just drain the water off? Thanks again, Sara!
Hey Kathy, yes the sediment well the bottom, you can be patient and let the water evaporate, you can also drain it through sand outside, that’s somewhat controversial. Golden also makes a kit where you can drain your paint water and the water runs out clear.🙏❤️
Nice job ^^
Thanks beautiful 🤩
Nice share Sarah. So dry paint is disposable? That’s how I’ve operated…
Dry paint is disposable in the trash.👍✨
Why do you strain the paint your saving?
It was from another painting, just to be sure there are no chunks 😁
I am Hispanic but I love your work a question about the amount of liquid that I am confused please I am new
Starage?
😂 thank you for catching my typo 😁👍
