Wow! I am so impressed by your organizational ideas. I am such a messy painter and can’t even begin to imagine this top shelf organizing😂 The freezer paper idea is helpful as well. Thanks for posting this Pam.
Haha - well I'm determined to try and be more organized - it doesn't com enaturally to me :)
Is the Arches paper one big sheet you cut and what size did you cut them to be? Also, what tape did you use? Sorry if I missed some of that! Thank you so much for all your information it’s so helpful! Just bought my supplies oil and cold wax so going to get my palletts and fridge (left over from kids dorms) out of the basement!glad I watched this first before diving in! Can watercolor paper be used for cold wax and oil btw?🫶
Wonderful tips Pam! I love the idea of making swatches with actual paintings. Thank you!
Many thanks, Patricia!
Such valuable tips Pamela - thank you for your generous sharing! I would love to see how you roll up the palette paper and store it in a future video. 😊
Ah - perhaps a great idea for a video for sure - thank you for the suggestion :)
I'll be doing the painting swatches for sure!
Awesomeo Shelley :)
Wow! I love these tips! Thanks so much, Pam!
You're so welcome, Tammy!! :)
Thank You Pam for generously sharing your tips! I love your work and love seeing your studio! Fun to see your fur kids too! 🐶🐶🐶🐈⬛❤️❤️❤️❤️ Your mini painting/swatch had such Lovely colors! I need to spend more time working with colors. I’m going to start doing these small studies. Loved the freezer paper idea for pallet paper! Thank You! Looking forward to catching up on other videos I have missed! ❤️ Jalyne in Utah
Thank you so much!😊
Great ideas! Thx!
You are so welcome!
thank you!
Thank you as well! :)
Very efficient!!!!!
My studio is not heated but warmer than a refrigerator. I cover palette with cold wax 3:1 ratio with plastic . I have found the paint very stiff and almost unusable due to the ambient temperature. How is any medium pliable enough to use after removed from a refrigerator?
These mediums very quickly are as pliable as if not refrigerated - like in 10 minutes it is as if they were never refrigerated :)
GREAT tips. Thanks! What brand of 0ff set spatulas are these?
Hi Maureen - my favorites are Ateco - here is the link to the ones I like: amzn.to/4b6rY54 Have Fun!
Where can we find those tins? Thanks.
I put all the links in my description under this video - here is the link for the smaller tins I use: amzn.to/43UjP1m and for the larger tins, I use 8oz or 16 oz - here are the 8oz square tins: amzn.to/3TUfLcY

Thank you for sharing. I'm new to you and have a couple of questions. Why are you storing oil paint and your cold wax formula with color and galkyd gel in a frig or freezer? Also please tell me the ratio of your formula. [cold wax, gel and oil paint]
After many discussions with Gamblin Paints (a company whose oil paints i love to use) - they suggested adding 1 part galkyd gel to 3 parts cwm for four reasons: 1) More flexibility 2) More strength of paint film 3) Faster drying 4) Slight satin sheen vs total matte finish. For these four reasons, I always use it and by mixing it ahead of time and storing it in the refrigerator, it stays fresh indefinitely as opposed to just covering it with saran wrap - where it would only last a few days before hardening ;) Once the 1 part Galkyd gel is mixed with 3 parts cwm, I mix this blend up to 1:1 with oils. This allows me to paint with oils and NOT owrry about "fat over lean" - which is a huge concern for traditional oil painters! Great questions!
@@PamelaCaughey In this terribly busy world, I'm very impressed and grateful that you answered my questions. Thank You Pamela.
