Ice-tray for paints




Hello,

I took an ice-tray to save the left over paints. At the end of day, I fill it with water -- avoid drying --- and cover it with a piece of plexi. Not for MAX or Artisan .

I love that idea!

Why is it that I never thought of that? Must be losing my imagination.

Good idea.

Do you empty the water by tipping it all over or do you pick up the colors with your palette knife ?

You can also put your brushes in a cup of water overnight.

Yes, I tip the water away and then pick up my colors again.
Cheers.

Hi,
I have thought, Allan is right actually. My latest "invention" is here: paints always under water, in an assortment box. It has bigger and deeper cases, so I don't tilt the water any more.
I sticked (external) a paper with their names on it, maybe I'll be use another box for premixed base skins or so.
Ciao!
