I found that making your parchment paper slightly smaller than the container lets it grow as it becomes damp whithout pressing against the sides. That reduces the papers tendency to wrinkle at the edges and makes it easier to get a smooth surface.

Love these videos showing the basics of painting that a lot of channels seem to take for granted. Starting to use a wet palette was a major boost for my painting as well. I started off with kitchen towel and baking parchment in a sandwich box as well and I'm still using it after several years. The only change I've made is to use a dish washing sponge instead of paper towel - still very cheap but seems to be more consistent and last longer.

Thanks for this video and for how clearly everything was explained and demonstrated. I have begun to research wet pallettes lately since I felt I wanted to take my mini painting up a notch, and this video has helped a lot!

Was recently catching up on some of Duncan Rhodes tutorials and saw what he was capable of with a wet palette. Bought one not long after and it has changed my life. Citadel paints dry within a couple minutes on a normal palette, even with water added and now I don't have to stress out about it. I'm also pretty much convinced that Duncan left GW just so that he could stop using exclusively Citadel branded stuff and a wet palette.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides

They really are a gamer changer. I doubt Duncan’s reasons for leaving GW were related to being restricted to GW products. It certainly can’t have been related to not being able to use a wet palette, as some of the paint tutorials published on Warhammer+ actually used a wet palette 🙂 I image he simply wanted to follow his own path and ideas.

THIS was one of the best videos on how to actually use one of these types of palettes, and I'm extremely glad you mentioned the thing about it not being a palette meant for saving paints for days on end. When I started to use one of these I would often get replies that it was the 8th world wonder where you could leave your mixes on for weeks and then just pop back like nothing happened and just add a little water. I was going insane because my experience was that after a day or two the paints were split into sunders and I thought I was doing something wrong, since everyone told me it could save my paints for weeks. It's not some magical wonder that saves paints for eternity and newcomers need to know that. It is however something that helps you tremendously and gives you time to work with the paint, so you dont have to rush before it dries out.

Thanks for the guides! I’m about to paint my first mini and so far everything I’ve learned has helped me so much. Would you kindly do a guide for priming and airbrushing?

Maybe also how to clean it too. Thank you for what you do!

I definitely agree that the wet palette was one of the biggest improvements in my (limited) painting skill and ranks along with learning about dry-brushing (many, many years ago), washes (many years ago) and airbrushes (very recently) as the biggest "game-changers" in my painting. I'm sure there is plenty more for me to learn and that list may be extended!

Great video on wet palettes. One big tip on why I like the Masterson one is the shallow height. With the shallow edges I feel I have better control when rolling my brush into a point after dipping it into the paint since Im able to bring my brush into the palette with a much flatter angle. Of course you are a pro at this process with your sharp, crisp edge highlighting and detail work ;)

Thanks man. No, you’re totally right. The big advantage a purchased palette has is it’s designed for that purpose and has a very low profile. So I totally get why people love it. I think I’m just lazy to change 🤣 One option which other people do (and I think has been mentioned in comments here too) is use the lid of the container as the tray rather than the container itself. Unfortunately my lid isn’t really deep enough for that but it’s a great alternative.

Another excellent guide. I found your channel through the paint thinning video, which really did work for demystifying all those 'milk' comments out there for me and helped me better understand why and how to thin my paint. I'm definitely going to put together my own wet palette now--even though I only do a little hand brushing (I'm typically airbrushing armor and other machines), I think it will be nice for when I am working on those small hand painted details. Any chance you'd be willing to tackle the topic of working with yellow and similarly bright, thin colors?

I live in a high-altitude semi-arid area, with highs typically around 35C in the summer and lows well below 0C in the winter. FWIW, since inside air is regularly exchanged with outside air and typically maintains a constant temperature, the absolute amount of water carried by the air can generally be tracked by looking at the current dew point. This changes if you humidify or dehumidify your air. Using that measure, winter is usually the time where there is the least water in the air, with our dew points being typically around -20C to -10C in the winter. In summer, it's typically in the range of 5-15C. Our dew point right now (31 March) is -13C. (This is why static electricity is a bigger problem in the winter than the summer.) I've been using a wet palette for probably 20 years now and can say that your advice is generally quite good. The one thing I do differently is that I use fewer layers of paper towel (normally 3 layers) and I cut the paper towel to be a bit smaller than the palette. The space around the wet palette is keep filled with water, which is absorbed by the paper as it evaporates from the surface. When the water reservoir starts to get low, I add more water around the edge of the palette. Also, when if I put dry parchment on top of the wet paper towel, the bottom of the paper hydrates and expands more quickly than the top, so the paper tends to curl. The paper will eventually relax, so it's not necessary to do anything about this, but I find it convenient to put the parchment below the paper towel before adding water, then flip when everything is fully hydrated. After flipping, I scrape a plastic protractor across the surface of the parchment to drive out air bubbles and flatten the surface. (There's nothing particularly special about the protractor except that it's the right size and the edge isn't too sharp.)

Thanks for watching So, if you’re really struggling to find a suitable container, try coming at it from another angle. Because the reservoir doesn’t need to be very deep you can actually use the lid of the container as the tray, add your paper towel or sponge for the reservoir, saturate it and add your membrane. You then have an ultra low profile palette which you can then seal it by putting the container on top as the lid. It actually works really well. Hope that makes sense and helps you find a suitable container 👍

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides

8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching Yes, absolutely contrast, washes, speed paints can be used on a wet palette. I do it all the time. Where the confusion seems to have crept in is some off the shelf wet palettes come with membrane paper which lets WAY too much water through and instead of just replacing the moisture lost from evaporation, it is actually diluting the paints on the palette too. The Army Painter wet palette seems to be the biggest culprit of this. Worse still, that membrane even let’s contrast paints etc seep back through to the reservoir and contaminate that. The paper I use (listed in the description) 100% has none of those problems and is a fraction of the price of these branded products. I hear RedGrass is a lot better, so maybe just avoid Army Painter?

Hey, great vid! Do you know where to find a shallow container like your one? I've not been able to find one like that so far.
