Painters Tip


More on Palettes


Ideally, the color of your palette would match the color of the ground un your painting support. Since many of us use a variety of undertones on our paintings, a more practical solution is to use a neutral color on your palette. You can use different colored papers to slide under a glass or plastic palette. I use a warm taupe colored marble tile for mine because I have a warm bias to my work most of the time.

For glazing work, you may want to use a white palette so that the glazes are pure in color as you mix them.

Clean your palette after each working session. Do not be tempted to leave it. You will constantly be faced with scraping and cleaning up before each session and the constant scraping can damage your palette.

Starting fresh each time gives you a chance to reconsider your palette of colors and the mixes you are doing. If you need to save the paint from the previous session, put it in baby food jars.
