I use a puppy training pad under my water jars and pallet saving a place to dab my brushes

[@TheDevonArtist]

That's a very good idea, thank you for sharing it Beth. Paul :-)

LOL We use paper towels for the dog's indoor potty!

[@patriciajinkens552]

These are the kind of things we don’t learn in class. I’m getting a nail clipper for my studio. Thank you!

You are so welcome Patricia, thank you for watching, Paul 🎨

[@willowbranch5237]

Thanks for the tips. I use a small flat nose pliers to press the paint up from the bottom of the tube to get every bit of the paint. Love your tutorials!!!

That's a great idea Willow, thank you, Paul 🎨

Here in North America we have Dollarama or Dollar stores where you get things cheap and you can find a deviled egg dish which works well as a palette !

[@TheDevonArtist]

Hi Jan, yes, we as you may know get the pound shop version of your dollar stores over there. I love going around and seeing what tat.....errm no.......quality goods I can find! Actually, you can get some good bargains! Paul 🎨

I prefer using white terry cloth shop towels that are a bit larger than a wash rag/face cloth to wipe my brushes on. They are eco friendly as they are washable and reusable. I just wait until I have quite a few dirty ones and wash by themselves. A package of them at someplace like Costco has a lot in it and will last a long time.

[@TheDevonArtist]

Thank you Jeanne, that's a really good idea. I do use tea-towel underneath my kitchen roll to help as well. Paul 🎨

[@awendaawenda8011]

If you go to a beauty shop you can pay less than a dollar for a pipeit. I also use a very small pair of embroidery sissors as you use the nail clippers. I also use old towels instead of paper towels. For skies, I use Kleenex because sometimes the print shows up on the painting. Thanks for the tips sir! You’re an exceptional artist.

[@TheDevonArtist]

Hi Awenda, thank you as well for your excellent ideas. I do have a t-towel underneath my folded pieces of kitchen roll which does help as well. Paul 🎨

[@SherryHill-k5y]

Wonderful tips! Thank you!

[@KarenmitchellANI]

Instead of nail clippers, I've always used a sharp pair of scissors. Kinda hard to describe how I use them, but will try. I have the scissors parallel to the brush, pointy end facing away from me. Then use the scissors to cut those stray hairs.

[@TheDevonArtist]

That's great advice, thank you so much Karen. Paul 🎨

In one of your video's I noticed on your desk a foam paint brush holder. I need something like this and wondering if I can make one

[@TheDevonArtist]

Yes you can Karen. I have blog on how I made this one. devonartist.co.uk/my-budget-brush-holder/

Encantada de conocerte , gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y poner traducción en tus vídeos. Me gustan mucho las aves y quiero aprender a pintarlas como lo haces tú. Tendrás algún vídeo de como pintar sus ojos? Saludos cordiales desde Costa Rica.
