Paint Box
How to keep your china paints clean after you have mixed it with a medium: Use a paint pallet box. You can purchase this item from many different sources. It consists of a box and cover with a piece of glass that fits inside. Mine is the same size as a sheet of paper, 8 1/2"x11"x1/2". I mark the paper into 2 inch squares and write a color in as many squares as I need. Put the paper under the glass. I use Rosey Blush, brown, black, yellow brown, white, First Kiss with flux, First Kiss, and any other color I use often. Put this paper under the glass. The next step is to mix the paints with the medium and put on the glass over the proper color. You may want to have bigger squares. You can mix all the colors at once or as you need them.
