Acrylic paint - palette clean up

Once Acrylic paint has dried on your palette, it can be very difficult to remove.   That's why I use a PLASTIC disposable plate, with a shiny surface for mixing my acrylics....

~ you see it has a shiny surface ~

Then it ends up looking like this after I've been adding paint...

When you have finished using the paint,

and it has dried on completely,

that's when it is the easiest to remove.

Just

PEEL IT OFF.

 I just use a damp cloth 

to clean up any tiny bits left behind.

Dark Green

Getting a really good Dark Green could be several blog posts and more, but I keep it simple....

Everyone has their own favourite combinations...this is just one of them for me that works well.

Remember...Whatever combination you use - make sure you replicate the individual colours somewhere else in your painting...it keeps continuity.
