Father Mehman Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A wet pallette is a little tray lined with wet paper towel that has a sheet of butcher's paper placed over it. The idea is that the butcher's paper absorbs the water from the wet paper towel beneath but when a small dollop of paint is placed on the butcher's paper it won't flood the paint and let it be runny. It keeps your paint wet for a longer period of time than if it were placed on a regular paint pallette. That was an overly complicated way of explaining a wet pallette but there you go !

What does wet pallette mean? Some people just use water to thin their paints, but most use an acrylic thinner. GW's Lahmian medium is an acrylic thinner. I prefer Lifecolor's thinner https://airbrushes.com/product_info.php?products_id=3193 . For around $10 (you maybe able to find it cheaper on Ebay) you get 250ml which will last you a very long time. Good luck and happy painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
