Recommended Use & Care

The Expressionist Confidant® palette is best suited for oil painting. To maintain its smooth surface and protective finish, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Do not use metal razor blades to remove dried paint.

• Remove wet oil paint using appropriate artist solvents and a plastic razor blade.
