My first blog entry—The Palette Garage

Okay, I admit I haven't tried this yet, but I can't wait. An artist friend of mine showed it to me yesterday, and she is crazy about it. How can it not be wonderful?  It can save your wet paint for weeks. Right there, I'm sold. And you can use it all kinds of ways to make plein air painting easier.

This unassuming tube has seemingly magical properties. Yes, it can keep you paint from oxidizing for several weeks. At room temperature. The magic is in the air tight, lightweight tube and the clove oil that is contained in the end caps. No need to put clove oil on your paints, no mess. A small bottle of clove oil is included with the Palette Garage.
The Palette Garage comes in different sizes to fit your pochade box.
The instructions say to keep it horizontal, but I've been told by a reliable source that you can stick it in your backpack any old way.
Find it at: www.palettegarage.com. Go to their website to find out more about it.

This is from the Palette Garage website:
  • Keep your paint on this strip  while painting (instead of on the palette surface)
  • Fits along edge of palette box or can be attached elsewhere to your setup
  • When finished, store the paint strip with your left-over paint in the "garage"
  • Supplement with new paint as needed
  • Non-chemically reactive material allows for easy removal of old paint..
  • Clips included to attach tray to palette
  • See their photos below:
