Oil Painting Tip: Keeping White Paint Clean

A tip to add to your oil painting knowledge.

By , About.com Guide

If you use oil paints and don't have the discipline to keep a brush just for the white paint (like myself, I always end up mixing the paint with my brush), a small palette knife next the pile of already mixed white (mixed with turpentine to a consistency of mayonnaise) is useful for not dirtying the white. The very small palette knife doesn't tempt me to use it for mixing as I have a large one for that.
