Regarding paint pallets, I use a silicone baking mat for my acrylics. When paint dries, the thicker areas peel right off, and the rest wipes off with a damp rag (or a bit of household cleaner.) Sometimes I even save the paint peels because they have such a pretty marbled look!
Feb. 1, 2023… just found ArtProf, off to become a Patreon, just wondering if that’s Gamsol in your Silicoil or are you using water to clean your brushes? Thanks.
Wolverine would win ....FOR SURE! I am also a better teacher than artist. Love making art and the materials of several art disciplines but it can take more thought. Find teaching art just flows naturally. Great stream Clara!!

Are water mixable oils similar to regular oils in terms of cleanup? Oil paint solvents and mediums need to be disposed of as hazardous materials but can u pour the water from water mixable oils down the drain?
Water mixables are totally different for clean up than oils. For oil paint I use gamsol, which I put in a silicoil brush cleaning tank, and that has to go to hazardous waste. Water mixables you still can't pour the water into the sink; the better option is to clean your brushes in a jar of water, and then you can let the water in the jar evaporate. I'm not a scientist, but my understanding is that the paint is still oils, and therefore shouldn't go down the drain. -Prof Lieu
@@artprof does the same apply when washing brushes? I’ve seen many people wash oil painting brushes in the sink and I’m confused how that’s any different than pouring the water mixable oil paint water down the drain.
You wash the brushes in the sink, but that's only after you've washed them as much as you can in a separate container and dried them out. Same thing with oils, you get as much out as possible with the solvent before you wash them in the sink. -Prof Lieu
