Once a month, clean palettes, inspect brushes, wipe tube threads, check paper storage and update the supply list.

Keep reliable essentials, test uncertain items and separate duplicates.

Record each item’s brand, colour or size, purchase date and storage location.

Close palettes when dry, cover paper and store brushes in clean containers.

Cutting open a hardened tube can expose usable paint, which may be placed in a palette and rewetted.

Mould thrives in trapped moisture and organic residue.

Dry palettes before packing, cap tubes securely and place liquids in sealed bags.

Rinse contaminated colour gently with a clean damp brush and wipe debris from the palette.

Wipe threads clean, close caps firmly and store tubes away from heat and direct sunlight.

Group supplies by function and use shallow drawers, labelled boxes or vertical files.
