Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!

When dad showed me this palette cleaning tip, my mind was blown. It really works! I used to dread the end of term, because I'd be stuck cleaning plastic paint palettes for ages. Scraping, picking, scrubbing off dried paint. It's such a pain.

But this art tip has saved me so much time. Just use water! And... that's it! No harsh chemicals, no hot water that can burn you, no extra paint, nothing. Just chuck them in water and leave them for a few days. Easy!

You may find some paints will stain, such as dark blues. We don't worry about this so much. Certain pigments will permanently stain most surfaces no matter what you do. But you will be able to get all that dried paint off without scrubbing.

Tell us in the comments if you have any other tips for cleaning dried acrylic paint off palettes.

➤ A little more about The Gold Coast Art School:
Since 1995, we've been teaching creatives how to successfully paint and draw (even when they think they can't!) We have classes for beginners and intermediates, and welcome advanced artists too. Many of our students love coming to our school not only for the depth of knowledge our tutors bring to each session, but for our relaxed and welcoming community feel. Our adult art students usually use oil paints, but we encourage any medium, including acrylics, pastels and watercolours. Check out our social media and website for info, or email/call us any time to chat to Jess and book your spot in our next class!
