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.
Click image to enlarge. 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.
