Nic Thurman on Instagram: "How to clean your palette without wasting paint. Group together similar colors to reuse later. Move them out of the way and scrape off any remaining paint. Wipe your palette with a rag, until the color is no longer visible. A very subtle tint is normal. As long as your palette is smooth there’s no need for oil or solvent. If you want to start painting in 2026 comment “start” and I’ll share a free tutorial with you, to help you make your first oil painting."

Diamante Murru on Instagram: "I don’t do attachment. Except with Art. And my cats. . It mattered to me to return to oil painting using solvent-free, non-toxic materials, because Ra loves to chill on my lap while I paint and I want it to be totally risk-free . . #tattoos #painting #sphynx #oilpaint"
