But life is busy and sometimes it\u2019s hard to stay on top of painting supplies. That\u2019s why I use this simple method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I use a limited palette of just three primaries, burnt umber, and white. That\u2019s less paint to purchase, store, and manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from a few drops of M Graham walnut oil now and then, I don\u2019t use solvents or mediums. That\u2019s also less to organize and manage. The M Graham oil paint I use is so soft it doesn\u2019t require mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now here\u2019s a great tip. I keep my brushes in a small paint roller tray with Gamblin Safflower oil so my brushes are always ready to use, and I rarely have to clean them. Less time cleaning means more time painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallerybry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/princeton-aspen-brushes-and-gamblin-safflower-oil-in-small-paint-roller-tray-from-home-depot.jpg?resize=525%2C700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"My Princeton aspen oil paint brushes in Gamblin safflower oil and a small paint roller tray\u200b from Home Depot\" class=\"wp-image-883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallerybry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/princeton-aspen-brushes-and-gamblin-safflower-oil-in-small-paint-roller-tray-from-home-depot.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallerybry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/princeton-aspen-brushes-and-gamblin-safflower-oil-in-small-paint-roller-tray-from-home-depot.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallerybry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/princeton-aspen-brushes-and-gamblin-safflower-oil-in-small-paint-roller-tray-from-home-depot.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>My Princeton aspen oil paint brushes in Gamblin safflower oil and a small paint roller tray from Home Depot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(You can learn more about how I clean my brushes with oil and no solvent on the Gallery Bry YouTube channel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always have paint on my palette, and I keep it in the freezer so the extra paint does not dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s these simple tips that enable me to create a painting at the drop of a hat and spend less time organizing and managing supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TIP TO STAY ORGANIZED\u2049\ufe0f Leave me a comment.
