Tools of the Trade

Out of the (figurative) mothballs I must drag my tools. Brushes, paints, support, cleaners, etc., etc. I have always been a tool freak and have more than I need. They have to be cleaned up and those no longer serviceable thrown out.

*Tip: For oils I have used paper (tearaway) palettes almost from the beginning of my art career - so much easier - but have recently discovered paper plates,the coated kind. Oh so much cheaper! Just use till they are covered with paint, then transfer paint that is left and toss the old plate.

Of course, if you insist on looking like the traditional artist then go back to that wooden, kidney shaped palette and waste time every time you have to clean it. To each his own!
