When painting with acrylics I use large white wall tiles as my palette, that way I get to see the colours clearly, and can also mix easily and see the shades needed. The problem comes when they are covered in paint and they need to be cleaned up. I know, you just use soap and water - and yes I accept that, BUT you do get large blobs of dried colour heading down the drain (not a good idea) plus the paint (having been softened with warm water) then spreads ALL OVER THE PLACE....
Even then you do get some paint that refuses to budge, as this photograph shows...
My solution is to cover the tile with Cling film. Easily accessible, and easy to put over the tile...
Plus you still see your colours clearly, BUT the added advantage is that you just lift off the cling film, roll it up and chuck it away!
Now, how easy is that!
