I have been using a glass palette that I kept next to the easel. Clean up was easy, because I could scrape the old paint easily off with a razor blade.
Recently I have started to use a hand held palette made of plastic to see if I'd like to start investing in a wooden one. I have to say, I like the feel of the palette on my arm, but cleaning it is no longer easy. The razor gets stuck in the plastic and wiping dried paint off with turp isn't exactly fast either.
For those of you who use wooden palettes, how do you clean dried paint in the fastest manner without damaging the surface of your palette?
