Why Artist Saver exists
The color you worked for should still be there.
A custom mix carries your time, judgment, and creative momentum. Artist Saver exists so an interrupted session does not have to erase that work.
How
Reduce the air. Protect the pause.
A manual pump, seal, lock, and release valve create a reduced pressure chamber around the palette.
What
A purpose built studio container.
Artist Saver is designed for mixed oil paint, familiar palettes, and repeat painting sessions.

The real problem
Mixing color is not only technical. It is time, judgment, and momentum.
Every custom mix carries decisions that become difficult to recreate once the paint begins to change.
The color is hard to replace
You finally reach the right temperature, value, and balance. When it skins over, you are not simply losing paint. You are losing the exact decision you made.
Starting again breaks the rhythm
Remixing pulls you away from the painting. The first part of the next session becomes repair work instead of creative work.
Makeshift covers add friction
Plastic wrap, ordinary lids, and storage workarounds can be awkward. Artist Saver is being built around one clear job: help oil painters pause and return.
Press. Lock. Return.
A simpler pause between painting sessions.
Artist Saver uses a lid mounted manual pump, a locking mechanism, a release valve, and a perimeter seal to create a reduced pressure storage chamber.
Place your palette
Set your preferred 9 × 12 palette surface inside the shallow chamber with your mixed and unmixed oil colors arranged as you left them.
Press and lock
Close the lid, use the manual pump, and lock the system. No electricity, freezer, or additive is required.
Release and resume
When you are ready to paint again, use the release valve, open the case, and continue with greater color and workflow continuity.
Product details
Built for the practical realities of an oil painting studio.
Clear specifications help painters know what fits, what arrives, and how the system should be cared for.
Palette focused dimensions
Inside: 12.25″ × 9.95″ × 1.68″
Outside: 13.2″ × 10.9″ × 3.5″
Fits standard 9″ × 12″ palette surfaces.
Manual seal system
Perimeter gasket, manual pump, locking mechanism, and release valve. No cords or electricity.
What is included
Artist Saver™ case with vacuum lid and Use & Care card.
Care and use
Keep the gasket and valve free of paint residue. Wipe sealing surfaces after each session. Do not store solvents inside.
More Than a Closed Container
Airtight still traps air. Artist Saver helps move air out before the lid locks.
Airtight storage closes around the air already inside. Artist Saver is designed to reduce that air before the lid locks.
Closed lid
Ordinary airtight
The lid closes while the original air remains around the paint.
What happens
Air remains sealed inside with the palette.
Manual reduced pressure
Artist Saver
The manual pump helps move air out before the lid is locked.
What changes
Less air remains around the mixed oil paint.
Conceptual mechanism illustration. Real product photography and side by side proof will replace this before launch.
That difference is the heart of the product. Artist Saver is designed to help reduce air exposure around mixed oil paint between sessions.
✓
A shallow chamber for palette surfaces, not small food storage compartments.
✓
A manual pump and release valve designed for repeat studio use.
✓
A clear visual story that can be tested through real side by side proof.
See the difference
See why removing air matters.
A clear demonstration will compare ordinary airtight storage with Artist Saver.
Life interrupts. Your color should not.
Your painting may wait. Your best mixes should not have to.
A class ends. A commission carries into tomorrow. Family calls. The lighting changes. A free evening disappears. You get tired. The problem is not how serious you are about painting. The problem is that the color you worked so hard to find keeps changing while life moves on.
You finally matched the color
The exact mix took more than paint.
It took judgment, patience, and several small decisions. Losing it means repeating work you already solved.
Studio time is limited
The next session should begin at the easel.
When painting time is rare, spending the first part of it scraping, remixing, and rebuilding momentum is a cost you feel immediately.
The painting needs several sessions
Consistency matters from one day to the next.
Portraits, realism studies, commissions, and layered work depend on color continuity. Yesterday’s decision should still be available tomorrow.
Your setup has to work every time
Reliable tools protect the way you teach and create.
Whether you are preparing for class, a demonstration, a client deadline, or your own quiet studio practice, fewer interruptions mean better work.
Whatever your studio looks like, Artist Saver gives you a better way to pause.
Place the palette inside. Remove the air. Lock the lid. Release it when you are ready to return. The work you already did deserves protection.
Built by an oil painter. Shaped by service.
A real studio problem. A tool that must earn trust.
Artist Saver began with a real studio frustration and is being developed through honest testing, useful design, and clear proof.
I am a U.S. Army veteran and professional oil painter. I built Artist Saver after experiencing the loss of time, paint, and momentum between sessions. I didn't like seeing my hard work dry out and go to waste.
“I don't like BS products. Artist Saver is the real deal. It had to earn trust through honest testing, clear proof, and real studio use.”
Bradley Hamilton Founder of Artist Saver

Questions are welcome
Ask before you decide.
A useful product earns trust by answering the questions painters actually have.
What do you want us to test?
Your question may shape the proof videos, Frequently Asked Questions, or launch instructions.
Will this really keep my mixed oil paints usable longer?
Artist Saver™ is designed to help mixed oil paint stay workable longer by reducing the amount of air around the palette between sessions. Results vary based on paint type, thickness, mediums, and studio conditions.
How does Artist Saver™ work without freezing or additives?
Artist Saver™ uses a manual pump to reduce the air inside the container before sealing. Less air exposure can help slow oxidation and drying without freezing or additives.
What makes Artist Saver™ different from a regular airtight container?
A regular airtight container seals in the air already inside. Artist Saver™ is designed to reduce the air first, then maintain a sealed environment around your palette.
How long can paint stay workable in Artist Saver™?
Results vary based on paint type, thickness, mediums, and environment. Artist Saver™ is designed to help keep your mixes workable longer between painting sessions.
Will Artist Saver™ help me save paint and money over time?
Yes. Artist Saver™ can help reduce wasted paint and mediums, while also saving time by cutting down on remixing. That added efficiency matters, especially when you are working with multiple mixes across sessions.
Will it fit the palette setup I already use?
Artist Saver™ fits palettes and surfaces up to 9 × 12 inches within the interior space.
Can I still use my usual oil paints and mediums?
Yes. Artist Saver™ works with standard oil paints and commonly used mediums. Results may vary depending on the mixture and drying properties of the medium. Alkyd mediums can still cause oil paint to dry much faster.
Is this only for professional painters, or is it helpful for students too?
Artist Saver™ is useful for beginners, intermediate painters, students, instructors, and serious artists. It is especially helpful for painters who want to protect multiple mixes between sessions.
What if I already use water or other methods to preserve paint?
Some painters use water or other workarounds to help preserve oil paint. Artist Saver™ provides a cleaner, more streamlined way to protect your mixes without extra steps or cold storage.
Do I need clove oil, additives, plastic wrap, or a freezer?
No. Artist Saver™ is designed to work without additives, plastic wrap, or cold storage.
How do I clean and care for Artist Saver™?
Use mild liquid soap and cool water for routine cleaning. Isopropyl alcohol may be used sparingly on hard plastic surfaces only. Do not use alcohol on the silicone seal, gasket, or valve. Dry all parts thoroughly before closing or storing Artist Saver™.
