Warning Sticking Your Hand in My Fridge Could Make it Green

I received an email this week from a novice painter who enjoyed my "How to Paint a Sunset Videos". (www.mauiartscene.com) After he is finished painting for the day he is left with extra paint on his palette that he does not want to waste. Is there anything that can be done to save the paint?

The answer is YES if you are painting in oils. At the end of the day you can put your palette and brushes in the freezer and they will not dry! Being lazy I wrap my brushes in a wet paper towel, then put them in a plastic bag and stick them in the freezer. I put the palette in an empty area.

Now remember if you share your refrigerator with others make sure you make your own spot away from food and let them know. There is nothing my husband hates more than sticking his hand in the refrigerator and getting a handful of paint with his chocolate!
