The magic erasers are awesome for this. Just scrub over it once and no beading whatsoever. So quick and easy

@evikelehar4844 2 года назад

I wish manufacturers would make those palettes without the thumbhole. It's basically a wasted mixing well. Thank-you for the anti-beading tip.

@melkerart1793 2 года назад

Some of us plein-air painters do use the thumbhole 👍 but imo the brush holes aren't really practical.

@lori900 2 года назад

Rubbing alcohol also works to remove that residue. I use this trick at our sign shop when we wrap vehicles to remove wax that prevents the vinyl from sticking. I super appreciate you showing how you filled your palette. I don't typically fill the wells that much, but can't wait to do it again soon as they are all running quite low at the moment.

@CuriousCalligrapher 2 года назад

Thanks! I was wondering if alcohol would work!

@kthybrown007 2 года назад

a scotchbrite pad or tarter-control toothpaste works great. Also fine steel wool or very fine wet-dry sandpaper.

This is so helpful! I didn’t realize it was the plastic, I figured either I was doing something wrong, or needed tubes instead of pans or something. Thank you!

@Feenix102 2 года назад

Interesting. I tend to use cream cleaner, like you use to clean bathroom surfaces. Its mildly abrasive so it scrubs the oil layer off quite well. As you say, might need to do it more than once, but it does work. I was asking someone about the beading issue once and they actually got quite angry, lol - I think they said something along the lines of "why wouldn't you want that? Its just how watercolour pools on plastic!" I was like: "ok, thanks for your help", lol...

@ArtsiRosi 2 года назад

This is what I always use. Soft Scrub and a bathroom scrubbing brush. VERY quick and works perfectly every time.

@Sanne24able 9 месяцев назад

Wow - what a difference. You have just changed my watercolor world 🥳🤗. Have said some not very nice words when trying to mix colors. 🤣😂. It was and is hard enough learning how to mix colors (am a newbie) - when then the colors sort of disapear in very tiny drops - it is almost impossible. Hahahaha, haven't even thought about that I could change it. Now, I can learn without looking at tiny watercolor drops. Thank you sooooo much 🥰

@cragglesharvey2774 2 года назад

Thank you sooooooo much for this, it’s one of those questions you are embarrassed to ask why the paint you mix disappears never to be seen again. I have plastic paint palettes but use china saucers and pin dishes to mix because they don’t bead up…… I’ve learned so much from your channel in such a short space of time. I didn’t even know I could paint until I had a go after watching your tutorials. Happy new year. Kind regards Craig 🎨

@faithisrising Год назад

Thank you for these tips Emma! I bought the empty pallet a few weeks ago because I admired yours so much. I have been waiting on filling it and now I’m so glad that I did as I will now treat the mixing wells like you did.

@SweetlyDarkArt 2 года назад

I usually just wash mine for the first time with mild soap and a non-scratch scrubber. It takes the mold release off the plastic from the mold that was used to make those plastic ones.

yes, I use the same method, but I use water on the tissue, to properly remove the stickiness. It is quick and works on tin palettes too. Be mindful to use a tissue or serviette, a rag isn't a good choice as the lint comes off the rag. Thanks for this trick! Been waiting years for people to show this to the world. Thanks Emma!

@bristremel1554 7 месяцев назад

thanks so much for making this video. i've been watching videos for a long time - years - and one of my chief frustrations with mixing on a palette (rather than on paper) is the beading. and i honestly didn't think there was anything to be done about it. in fact it didn't even occur to me that different palettes behave differently and that some of my palettes enable me to get washes on the surface without beading. this is definitely a game-changer.

@charliepea Год назад

I also did the glue trick onto one of the sections of my new palette, just that I peeled it off because it's satisfying and my palette becomes clean. I believe it also takes away that little shiny layer.

Scrub the wells with toothpaste and an old toothbrush. Or scouring powder (Comet) and a toothbrush. Or toothpaste and a little bit of comet. You can use a scotch brite pad and toothpaste/comet too.

@user-vg4px3uh8h 8 месяцев назад

What a great tip! I have been using magic eraser, I think it's okay. But I will have a chance to compare. I have 2 identical sets, 1 new, 1 used lightly, but in that one there was an orange that wouldn't come off. The magic eraser is doing the trick. Then it's glue stick time for both. I use a toothpick and ear swab to push bits of eraser around.

@annasimonsen5018 2 года назад

Hi Emma - thank you for the info in this video. I'm a beginner water colour artist based in the UK. I started your tutorials in the Autumn last year and really love the way you present and teach. I searched your video library so apologies in advance if I have missed them - could you please do a beginners tutorial in painting cherries (I'm trying them and keep failing to get a deep, rich looking cherry) and also chestnuts and their cases (conkers in the UK) as I love the tones of brown but again am finding it hard to get that rich shiny look.

Having paint bead up on plastic palettes is a real pain particularly if you only need a little bit. Hence I use ceramic palettes or even little dishes! But I’ve learned something new today, thanks Emma 👍

@ruthloewen3884 2 года назад

I just gave up on that exact Vivid palette for that exact reason yesterday, and switched to a more expensive palette. It was the worst for beading of any of the 3 palettes I've bought so far. I tried Mr. Clean eraser, glue stick, toothpaste and a few other solutions, and none of it had much effect. I must admit I didn't try any of them more than once. I was even going to throw the palette away rather than giving it to a thrift shop, so no one else would waste time on it! But I'll donate it now. And I'll try this trick on my new palette if I have any of the same problem.

@kateskate6960 2 года назад

Use Dawn dishwashing liquid and warm water. The Dawn kills the oil on the palette and rinses right off.

@OutrageousAspect 2 года назад

You can also spray paint white enamel paint and it will do the same thing..or fine grit sandpaper, toothpaste, soft scrub..really any mild abraisive... you just need to take the "shiny" off

Thank you, Emma! I can attest to the Magic Erasers working, as that's the only thing I'd heard of doing until today. All that being said, anyone have any thoughts on those of us with animals ~ thinking their hair, and dust for that matter, would potentially stick to the palette. I already have a gang of trouble combating it without adding anything sticky in the mix. I'm so curious to try this but afraid at the same time. What a chicken. LOL

@natford8271 2 года назад

You just need to wash it with liquid dish soap / washing-up liquid before use.

Yep, anything that degreases will do. Metal palettes often need this treatment too. And it's the reason why you should always wash plastic and metal food utensils/ containers before first use.

These tips were great. I do have a question though...I also tried to prepare a plastic palette with tube paints to give to a friend for Christmas - but when she opened the palette all the paint had dried and popped out of the wells. It was a mess because the paint broke off into little pieces. I used good quality paints for the - Sennelier, Winsor & Newton, etc...so I am not sure what happened. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for your help.

@natford8271 2 года назад

Did you wash the palette first with something like dish soap? As mentioned in other comments, all plastic and some others like metals need to be washed before use to remove oil/grease used during manufacture.

@starr613 2 года назад

Score the bottom of each little pan lightly with a knife or sand paper. Or a wire sponge. Then rinse off real good. The paint needs something to grip onto :)

@pamshirley2289 2 года назад

@carolefreeman2544 Год назад

I just watched Ann Kerr use toothpaste to stop the beading. Before you put your paint down, spread a little toothpaste around the palette’s mixing wells. Then just wipe the toothpaste with a cloth or cotton pad. The paint and water will no longer bead. The reason toothpaste works as it is slightly abrasive.
