Great tip about making sure to use a glass palette that is tempered glass, not glass from a picture frame.
Op shops (charity stores) often have glass cutting boards that are fairly cheap. Id think they would be strong glass. Some have images underneath but they can be scraped off easily enough.
Great to see your channel going strong. Great work!

Hi

I'm actually new to this painting business. When I pour acrylic paint on to the pallet and if I need to use the rest of the remaining paint later, ( maybe after 2 days, )I keep the pallet in an airtight container. At the base of the container I have placed a wet sponge. Therefore, when you put your pallet with acrylic paint into it and close, the paint stay fresh. I actually do this very often since I'm working while taking care of my one and a half year old baby. So this has been a very effective way for me to save my paint from drying.

Lennox! So you can get a thicker piece of glass (vs picture frame) in the local hardware store. The edges are sharp, so cover them with duct tape for safety. It's also a bit heavy, so it will have to be on the desk top (vs a palette in your hand)... Thanks for showing the effects of the medium. Most people just say it and never show it... Great job!

Have you tried using a Wet Pallete. Like the ones made by Mastersons? Mastersons Sta-Wet Pallete I use for miniature painting (we use acrylics too) Basically the cheap verson is a sponge in a container with water (so its not floating) with parchment paper/baking paper on top (not wax paper) the paint soaks up the water and stays moist. Masterson makes pallets from around A4 to A3 i think, perhaps bigger. Your wet pallete can keep in a fridge with paint on it for days.

Find your instruction and advice so valuable. I have watched many of your video’s and so appreciate your down to earth approach. I have searched patrean for your site but did not find you there. Please advise I can not afford much but would like to contribute. Thanks

thank you for your videos. i started painting recently, and i just want to have fun. i use 30x30cm canvas right now and it is a good size for me. maybe later i will try bigger sizes. i have a question: you mentioned you don't waste color, but put everything together at the end of day and this way you have something like a grey or black or something like that. it sounds good. but how do you keep it? in a syringe? because it has to be kept somehow so that it will not dry.

Hi syndia ..I love your vids...your channel is very underrated...you are a great artist...can you pls make a video on how to use pallette knives and can you do a studio vlog

[Sam-yoj]

Great video and channel. You might look for a small glass pastry/chocolate board - restaurant supply stores carry them here for pennies and they're always completely smooth, tempered glass and sensible colours (white or transparent).

For glass.palette. Take glass microwave plate out of old microwave. There you go and they work great.
