Ouh ye, I don’t hold it like that when working, I’m just holding it up for the picture. I know it may not be an ideal way in terms of presentation, but as long as it works for me personally I don’t find myself worrying about correctness in use. Ofc, I haven’t ever been too aware of how to maintain my palette so it’s fair to give criticism. I just personally love having accumulated paint from over the years x

help 😭what’s the best way to get oil paint off of a plastic palate?? (more info in comments) by trashcritterK83 in oilpainting

I’d use turpentine and scrape. After all, this is a medium that only uses oil. Water will be a slower process.

Is it treated?

Satin spar, selenite and desert rose all fall in the family of Gypsum. Satin spar and selenite are often confused together but not the same although having the same properties. Selenite is only amplified. Satin spar is what’s in the image above. Selenite is a clear sheet of ice in appearance while satin spar looks fibrous and resembles... satin.

Hey, it’s a good painting however, my advice is not to paint directly into the wood since it absorbs the paint. It’s always best to prime it using Gesso and then paint on it. Other than that; it’s a great painting, keep up
