    Hello darlings, in today's video I'll be giving you a rarely seen insight into the pre and post painting ritual of preparing and packing up my artist palette. I'll show you how I store my oil paints so that they stay fresh longer and don't dry as fast + more tips on how I set up my palette and prepare my paints for each painting session. Hope you find this useful! 🥰
    Thanks so much for watching,
    Happy

    I'm an oil painter/illustrator/cat mom living in Seattle. I am in love with oil painting, but I also dabble in drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, and always looking to learn new mediums! I post my painting and illustration time lapses, art tutorials for beginners (including oil painting techniques, drawing techniques, and art career advice), and various artist studio vlogs for your enjoyment. ❤️
    For even more comprehensive tutorials such as (how to paint skin tones, how to paint backgrounds, how to paint hair) free prints, live streams, and daily artworks in progress, please check out my Patreon page! Thank you!

    Happy D. I wish I knew where you lived so I can give you the biggest hug and kiss. As soon as I watched this I went straight to Amazon and ordered one of those document containers. I did exactly what you said, tape, glass and put reaming paint in freezer. My paint was as fresh as the day I mixed it five days before!!!! I didn't even need to mix new paint!! Thank You soooooo much this is such a game changer!!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜 I'm telling ever single artist I come across this is what you need to do to stretch out your mixed oil paint.🥰🥰💜💜💜💜

    Hi! Please make a tutorial on how to clean the brushes between painting to reuse them for applying other colours❤❤❤❤

    Thnk you for introducing a very useful tip. This video will definitely help not only me, but also other art school students.
    But I have a question about that tip. Is the thing attached to the container and the pallet made of plastic panel?
    I wonder why you don't use wooden or glass palettes used by other artists. Is there any benefit to that palette? 🤔

    Gamblin has gone on the record to say that according to their research the regular opening of doors in a house will ventilate gamsol safely
    Must needs be mentioned the paint mixed with gamsol smell is unpleasant so I personally air out afterwards most of the time at least, and there’s an air filter there for general purposes
    My point being to beginners don’t worry too much if you’re not rolling in ways to air out your space, cancer and other health risks are massively reduced since even a few decades ago
