Thank you so much for these tips! I’m a beginner oil painter and cleaning/disposing feels overwhelming. Now I’m a little more confident about how to handle cleanup.
I'm so happy this was helpful!! Wishing you well on your painting journey :)
Thank you! I’ve been all over the internet finding conflicting information about when you need to take oil paint/solvent to hazardous waste and when you don’t-this made everything “click,” per say.
So happy to hear!!! I know it can be soo confusing at first!
Answering my prayers! I set my oils aside because of all these issues. 😭No other medium can do what oils do. And I love the smell of them.
I know they are the best aren't they? I keep trying acrylic again and I'm like nope...the texture and richness cannot compare!! 😍
Now I remember why I never took an oil class in the 90’s but I took acrylics. Well, this Tuesday I started oil classes so I thank you for all this info 🙏🏻
Yes exactly!! 😂 that’s so exciting, hope you’re loving the classes so far!!
Thank you. this is a very helpful video. It can be overwhelming when you dont know what to do to keep everyone the environment too, safe. All the best.
So happy to help! Thanks so much :)
Great advice.
Recycling old solvents is easy here. Recycling centre, the dump, hardware shops, and even most art stores will collect it for the Recycling paint programme. There is a lot of concern about water quality and fish spawning here that they make it as easy as possible for people to do the right thing with their paint waste.
Very helpful, this was exactly what I needed to know.
So glad it was helpful !!!!
Thank you so much for these tips! These are super helpful especially having a home studio!
So happy they were helpful!!🙂🙂
Thank you. I put dirty paper towels in a jar filled with water. Until that jar is full the oil is cured and you can empty the jar into a bag and put it into the trash or you bring the jar to your local dumpster/recycling yard.
Great ideas, thank you for sharing!
Oh that’s scary! We are glad we found your video! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!! :)
Thank you so much for this video! So, using linseed oil with oil paints, do I need to worry about it being a fire hazard on the canvas, mixing palette, or brushes? I love painting and wanted to try out oil paints, but the “combustible” warning on all the oil mediums has me a bit freaked out.
Hi! Nothing to worry about with the brushes and canvas luckily! Basically, the only situation where things are combustible is if you have a pile of oil (such as on paint rags) that is drying, and the pile cant “breathe”. With the mixing palette - if it’s paper, let it dry before throwing in the trash. If it’s glass, just scrape it once it’s dry. It’s scary in the beginning but you’ll get the hang of it soon - just let paint towels dry fully (& laid flat by themselves) before throwing away - those are the main tips! Wishing you well on your painting journey!! 🩷
You rock! It's so hard to find clear info on this stuff.
So happy to help! I agree, it can be very confusing!
I had no idea I should wait to throw out my paper towels thank you for this
Happy to help!! 🙂
Did you know you can actually recycle the sludge? Just collect some of it and you can add paint medium then use a pallet knife and a paint muller and you will have made more paint! It's usually a brown or grey btw
I actually did learn this very recently from a youtube video and it BLEW my mind!! I want to start trying it soon!
Linseed oil can spontaneously combust as it cures because the curing process puts off heat, similar to how resin gets hot as it cures. This is also an issue for woodworkers and fires happen all the time from this. There is a proper rag disposal procedure.
It's not recommended to leave an item that can spontaneously combust on a flammable surface like cardboard.... And adding more heat like putting it in the sun.
It's recommended to keep them in an airtight container so there is no oxygen to feed the fire. As well as like 5 other steps.
Oil paint even if dried is hazardous waste! Please do not dispose of it in a normal trash can!
@@hayleyhawkins Can you check this out? everywhere I look seems to suggest that dried oil is hazardous waste. You have a responsibility to make sure your advice respects the environment when producing this type of informative video.
@@kw22072 Hi there - you should never really have much paint leftover on your palette to begin with. When oil painting it's very important to limit the dried paint you have leftover or else you're just wasting money. If you have tiny scrapings of paint leftover, toss in the household trash after fully dry. If you are leaving tons of leftover paint on your palette to dry up - then maybe think about taking that to hazardous waste.
thanks for sharing do this work in water soluble oil paint?
Hi there - the process is similar for water soluble! Throw away your paint palette or scrapings after they've dried as mentioned in this video, wait for towels to fully dry before throwing them in the trash. Wipe excess paint off of your brush onto a towel and then use water to wash it. Reuse the water jar until you can't any longer then recycle at a local center.
@@hayleyhawkins hello maam thanks that is one of the reason why iam reluctant to try oil paint because our area here in the Phillippines is poorly ventilated,thats why i stick to Charcoal Instead❤️🇵🇭🇺🇸
@@kennethaquino8352 i totally get that, that is tough to deal with!! I would recommend trying gouache or watercolor too! 🩷
@@hayleyhawkins thank you maam godbless🇵🇭🇺🇸❤️
what if there's no hazardous waste nearby to throw oil paint waste
I mention in the video around 8 minutes, if you don't want to drive to hazardous waste with your paint sludge, you can let it dry on a piece of plywood or cardboard then throw it out when it's fully dry!
Um this is kinda true linseed oil rags can combust if left in a ball .
Yep that’s what I talk about in the video😊
Not only 'can' they combust. It is so incredibly common for linseed oil rags to combust.
Because the curing process of linseed oil puts off heat.
There are also so many videos of people demonstrating. How combustible these rags are by putting them in cardboard boxes.
