Painting Table Cover
This BobBlast is a short studio tip!
In my studio, my painting table tops are used as my palettes. I paint flat on tables - it makes sense the palette should be also.
But first, the tables are covered with plastic sheeting found in better hardware stores. Specifically, plastic polyethylene, 4 feet x 50 feet - and very importantly, 4 ML thick.
Cover the table top and tape the plastic down tight with strong, sticky packing tape. This will become your reusable and permanent palette.
I re-use my plastic for many days and when I have a build-up of many layers of paint - I wait until it is dried. Then, I can peel the paint off the plastic. The plastic is clean again and I have 100% acrylic paint "skins" that I will use as collage material.
Remember - In order to peel off the paint skins, the paint ideally is 3-4 days worth of dried paint and thick enough to peel off in large sections. You can use either side, by the way!
Hope you have enjoyed these short, weekly blasts! Sign up on my website and keep watching. There are lots of them!
Keep painting!
