If you're painting on a white ground, lay out your paints on a white palette, and if you're working on a color ground, lay your paints out on a a wooden palette. This way your colors look similar on your palette to what they'll appear on your canvas.
Tip from: Jo.
My palette is made from some clear perspex (Plexiglas) and I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning it so I wrap the palette with cling film before applying spots of paint on it. This way all I have to do when finished a session is to unwrap the cling film, wrap it up in old newspaper, and shove it in the bin.
