Beautiful work. Leaving those lovely brushes in water makes me anxious.

Thanks Adrienne. The brushes are fine to be left in water for a short time. As soon as I’m finished painting, I clean them and lay them flat to dry.

I love the idea of not wasting the leftover paint in your pallet! ❤

Thanks Connie, the leftover paint also makes perfect mixes.

It always bothers me to waste that leftover paint. I think I need to use that bigger palette I've been salving though. Your explanation while using the paint was so helpful to me. Thank you. It's a lovely painting with the subdued colors!

Thanks Rita. There’s never really any need to waste any paint, just add to the leftovers for the next painting. I only occasionally clean a small area if I need some bright colour.

I never clean out my palette as I usually end up mixing similar colours again. I know some artists say it make the colours muddy but I've never known that to be the case and I like a slightly muted palette anyway. If I need more colours than the paint tin lid will accommodate, I bring in a round palette with bigger wells - and I let that dry unwashed afterwards too. I guess everyone has their own way of working but it was refreshing to see you make the point in this video.

You’re absolutely right, Carol. As a landscape painter, a muted colour palette is largely beneficial. I only occasionally clean a small area of my palette if I need some pure pigment.

I've seen you and some other artists do this. I think I need a different pallete - mine has only small sections, which makes mixing all the leftovers difficult

A larger palette is definitely beneficial, especially for home or studio use
