Cleaning up a palette


This is a tip I saw online some time ago and
having tried it myself, I found it does work.
(I think it was the
artist Jeremy Ford, but having searched online I've been
unable to find his reference to it)

 ***

We've all been there,
the palette got messy, so we clean it up,
but it leaves a stain.

Of course, porcelain palettes clean up pretty good, 
it's the plastic palettes I'm referring to.



there is a simple and easy solution to it...


Cooking Oil


Just add a few drops to a tissue.
You will need to give it a firm wipe,
but it does clean up

Look...

Magical! There's a gentleman who does watercolours in my current painting class so I'll pass on the tip.

Remember, it refers to plastic palettes, the porcelain ones aren't a problem with this.
