The Artists Pallet

I have a real issue looking after pallets and squeezing out a reasonable amount of paint needed for a painting session.

Once I use a pallet at the end of the day it is about 3 inches thick with rock hard paint. In fact I am sure that there is always more paint left on the pallet than there has been used to create the actual painting.

Of course it makes me an art suppliers dream as I purchase pallets and paint tubes by the lorry load. Actually maybe it's a good thing that I haven't painted anything for a while!

what about a paper pallet? I'm a college art student & my painting teacher loves them cuz they're so quick & easy.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a "finished" or "seasoned" palette so I can stop wasting so much paint and give myself a larger surface. My paper palettes are a mess.

I don't want to poison myself with the chemicals trying to do it from scratch.

Any help would be appreciated.....Boston area

About

Welcome to A Doodle A Day! Feel free to have a good look around and leave me a comment if you like what you see, or even if you don't!
A Doodle a Day is a place where I publish sketches created for fun and the love of drawing and more finished illustrations. I draw primarily with pen and ink, either dip pen or fountain pen. I do use other mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, pencil and soft pastels but my first love as a medium is pen and ink, especially dip pen.
I trained and worked for many years as a graphic designer, artist and studio manager within publishing as well taking on freelance projects. I draw for the sheer enjoyment of creating something from nothing but a white sheet of paper and a bottle of ink. I also work as an illustrator concentrating on Childrens illustration. I hope that you get as much enjoyment from seeing these sketches and illustrations as I do from creating them.

If you would like to enquire about my work or commissioning me then please contact chas@doodleaday.co.uk
