The mixing was so nice on my new tempered glass palette. I'm still painting monochrome still life pieces, which feel like scales to me. I never minded scales in my piano practice, but they were not thrilling for anyone else. So, too, the monochrome paintings.Instead of putting my palette into the freezer, I popped it into a Masterson sealed palette protector. I hope that the paint will stay fresh for my work tomorrow!

ah a new palette--! Looking good! All this raw umber talk has me doing raw umber too. I think it is GREAT practice!
why not just open the door and pop it outside? That cold snow will keep it nice and fresh:D
ah, new clean stuff is so inspiring! Have you read 'inside the painters' studio' yet by Joe Fig? if not I think you would like it
Right now I just wish I was painting I would not really care what colour it was I was using .
Value studies are the scales that make future music.
Let us know how your new palette work, Ok?
I use the same palette box. It works pretty well. I've found that thin paint sort of dries, so try to scoop it into little piles.
I can't imagine painting with acrylics without my Masterson palette boxes. I've used them for years. I had pieces of clear acrylic cut to fit them, and when I can't clean them anymore, I just pop another one in. I put a sheet of Richeson Grey Matters under it, which makes color mixing easier. The Grey Matters is disposable and works with both acrylic and oil, but I can't imagine working"outside of the box". I've heard of people using the boxes for oils, too; I assume that's the case for you.
