This is a peek into my painting process: here is my artist’s palette… messy as it is!  I utilize a disposable palette which has a rubber cover to keep the paints moist between changes.  I like to be able to start with a “clean slate” whenever I want, by just peeling off the wax paper surface.  Love the modern age!

I have an assortment of brushes, but end up using the same basic 5 or so… I use flats, largely, with a couple of smaller diameter rounds for fine details.  I also abrade the surface with a variety of palette knives and rubber scratching tools.  Addition and subtraction, I call it.
