    Rae, paint pots!!!! Save your paint! Recycle little containers: prescription jars, dispensary jars, even the little plastic ones can be reused. I cut them apart, but you can do whatever you want. Dab a bit on top of the lid and you have the color as it looks dry just like at the hardware store. Hope this helps people I don’t know why I didn’t start doing this years ago.

    My absolute favourite tip i ever learned in any art class is wet pallets. They are so easy to clean, your paint last so much longer without drying, its *mwah* chefs kiss. Its a perfect solution for when you prefer to mix your own colours but dont want to have to constantly be remixing them, and prevents a lot of paint waste so it also saves money!!

    My lazy pallette hack is to just buy a multipack and cycle through them, letting them dry between uses and then just popping the paint circles out. Sooo satisfying and you don't clog your drains with paint. I keep them all in a little jar and it's so cool to see the layers that correspond to each painting. (And reduce a little waste! 😉)

    My favourite lazy hack is to have two water jars/cups when painting. To clean your brush you dip into the "dirty" water first and then the second "clean" water. It makes the water last so much longer and you don't have to walk around to refil it

    • @obsidianwing
      @obsidianwing Год назад +7

      Same here , best habbit ever , because the Acrylic or Water color stays clean. I also Use big empty Jogurth Containers with lid and handle. I can clean my very Big Boy brushes in it without any problem.
      Also use Hair Shampoo to care for your brushes, esp natural hairbrushed profit for this. For cleaning in between or when you change color from darker tones to brighter use a simple soap Base without any added stuff for brush cleaning. Expandes the lifespan and gets rid of any pigments.. Dont be shy to push the bristles with force in the Soap also use the fingers to masage out the paint resedures.

    I also recommend getting canvasses at thrift stores! You'd be amazed how often people donate them still in the cellophane. You can also pick up some of the tacky canvas live-laugh-love-esque art prints people donate and just gesso/paint over those. Never pay full price for canvasses from the art store again.

    • @Lunathiel_
      @Lunathiel_ Год назад +1

      Yup, it works, it won't smudge 🥰 But I'll add a side note: some people want the sketch invisible at the end, so they have to erase the pencil it in the process (cause watercolors aren't opaque usually). And harder pencil = harder to erase completely. Plus it needs a little more pressure, so watch out for dents in the paper 🙃

    the saran wrap being a "new" hack blowing up is sending me. we learned that in art class in middle school, the teachers would literally put a roll of saran wrap in the lists of stuff for us to bring to class, you didn't even need the paint palette. you get some stiff cardboard (or not so stiff, i think some of us used old cereal boxes?), wrap it in saran, boom paint palette. take it off, keep the cardboard.

    5:09 Another tip related to this hack is to be careful about the pupil and lightly trace it because, depending on how it has been drawn, you could either have both eyes perfectly done or the Steve Buscemi effect (unless you're okay with your character/drawing having Steve Buscemi's eyes 🤷).
    By tracing the pupil lightly at least you can erase it and make both eyes look fine.
    6:04 About this tip, when it comes to acrylic paint, I suggest buying a white ceramic dish that is already glazed. Why? I swear that a flat dish is THE BEST acrylic palette. Once you've finished working with your paints and had let them dry on the dish, you can wash the dish/palette as normal and the paint will peel off easily (plus is oddly satisfying).

    That vacuum gadget sounds super useful, but it made me think of something silly. Like, imagine a tiny roomba, but for your desk. It will sometimes just go on a little trip and clean up your stuff. But not just erasor bits, but also other contaminations like paint or spilled water, etc. Oh, and then give the roomba cute robot smiley eyes and the ability to play little tunes of your favorite songs.
    And now that I have written all of this, I realize what a horrible waste of money this would be (e.g., it falls off your table, cleans something it cannot clean and breaks down, super expensive technology, lots of power consumption, probably too spacey and would disrupt the art flow when drawing . . . etc.)

    when I work with acrylics to save the color I mix I usually have two solutions: I mix it directly in a small jar and then I close it between applications, or I mix it on the palette and then cover it with kitchen plastic film when I am not using it.

    I had the same problem with my paint pallets. So now, as a paint pallet, I use the food packing containers. The "Hebrew National" beef hot dogs make a frozen mini Frank's in a blanket that "Has my pallets". It holds 12 little hot dogs that my husband loves. I wash the holder/container/pallet out good before use.
    The Sam's Club sells pre packaged salads that have my pallets too. I buy the duo pack Caesar salad. The tray that holds the cheese, dressing and chicken is a perfect pallet and you can see me use them in my videos when I paint.
    I live in Las Vegas Nevada and those are my opinions here. You might have different options in your neck of the woods.

      Great ideas - saves $, time and is eco friendly. I used to use the "bubble" which covers miniatures. It's an old mini painter technique. In TX some lunch meat brands come in a snap lid plastic container. A damp sponge on the bottom with a layer of parchment paper will create a wet pallet for pennies - and keep acrylic paint from drying out. I use straight up cardboard for my oils. It leeches some of the extra oil out (magazines are better if you need the oil) and helps them dry a little bit faster.

    i honestly just repurpose other things for my palettes. my gouache palette is a tupperware lid, my acrylic palette is an old colored pencil tin, and my watercolors are in an old ice tray. i like to reuse things because single-use plastics bug me.

    Not sure if this fits but I use gouache to "draw" my water color pics. It's a strong line and boundary but easily blends with watercolors and watercolor pencils.

    Awesome video! I have a lil critique about the one hack with using foil to keep your palettes clean- it's so much plastic waste :( Yes, I know, this is about being lazy, but maybe there's a better solution. Maybe use some little pieces of paper instead? It'll last you way longer and it's not as wasteful :D ✨ so yea, this is just a suggestion, loved the video as always!!! 💞

    • @wynngwynn
      @wynngwynn Год назад +9

      yep, the whole idea of a palette is that it's reusable lol. If you don't want reusable ones just use a piece of paper FR. The best palettes we had in school were just huge sheets of glass (you can use mirrors) and you'd just get one of those razor scraper things and just scrape the dried paint off. came off super easy.

    Am I alone who hates the idea to use single use plastic more than enough already?
    I will prefer 100 times cleaning my palette. And the easy way without wasting much water is soak it in hot water a bit, and when it's still warm you scrape the paint.

    • @parisgreen4600
      @parisgreen4600 Год назад +3

      Yes, I just use a paper plate, but when I was painting more, I used the glass tray from an old microwave. It's flat so you just scrape off the dry paint with a razor blade.
      Another option would be to buy a few plates at a thrift store so you're not putting new stuff into the waste stream.
      (adding) I live in an older building, so putting paint down the drain isn't an option.

  • @cartiaking3377
    @cartiaking3377 Год назад +4

    for the thing with colours drying up and having to colour match: you can also just use scales! get your palette, set the scales to 0 WITH the palette on it and just measure out exactly how much of each colour you use. note each measurement down. everytime you start a new colour, reset the scales; if you have to add more of an already added colour, still reset it to 0 and then add the measurements up. works everytime for me, and perfect for when i need more of that exact shade :)

  • @queenbeemo42

    I always thought it was important for my children to do a lot of art when they were preschoolers. I had some hacks for keeping it fun and cheap. We would take water soluble paint and paint drinking glasses! Then we would sit them on the windowsills of the kitchen and enjoy their decorations. Eventually we would throw them in the dishwasher and make new ones. We also would rinse the wet paint off our palettes and throw them in the dishwasher for cleaning! Plus the papermache. Oh papermache with toddlers is the best thing ever. We would blow up balloons, cover them with newspaper strips and flour water and they’d turn into perfect eggs. After they dried we painted those too! Art just adds so much joy to life!

    DONT use the plastic trick for oil paint, turp will literally melt the plastic into your paint. I guess it would work for acrylic- but really not worth the waste

    • @wynngwynn

      just use glass or a mirror and then scrape the surface with one of those razorblade scrapers to clean it for oil paints, there's no reason to need disposable anything.

    I have a hack! A good way to brush away shavings, or rubber debris, without smudging your work, or even touching it yourself, is … soft, synthetic, makeup brushes. ;) Some brands even do small travel ones that have lids to protect them when in a case. ;) They can also be used when very lightly blending with charcoal or soft pastels.
