Wet Palettes

What is a Wet Palette and What Is It For?

A wet palette is one of the essential tools for anyone who paints models or miniatures with acrylic paints. Its main purpose is to prevent the paint from drying out too quickly, a common problem when working with acrylics. The palette typically consists of a flat container, a special sponge (hydro sponge), and sheets of membrane paper (hydro paper). The sponge is soaked in water, and a sheet of paper is placed on top of it. Water from the sponge gradually seeps through the membrane, keeping the paint on top consistently moist. This keeps the paint workable for many hours, or even days.
