Disposable Methods for Acrylic Paints



This week Scrapbook Lifestyle is featuring paint techniques and Johanna Peterson had some great tips on ways to paint using disposable supplies in yesterday's episode:
  • Using the plastic casing on items that you buy like tape runners to hold your paint
  • Also, using the acetate wrapping on rubons, stickers or other embellishments for paint
  • Using the cheap watercolor brushes you can buy at the dollar store & throwing them away afterward

I just thought I'd add to this tip. I use disposable palettes you can get at your local art supply store from Canson - they're coated sheets that are resistant to acrylic and oil paints, and when you're done, you can just tear the top sheet off and throw it away (or part of the sheet). This pad was about $5 for 50 sheets or so.
