Hi, I am trying out wet palette, found nice box from ferrero Roche and am filling it with kitchen towels, the problem is, I can't quite find right paper to put on top. I had used some baking paper. What do you use? What is the best brand in UK?

Hi Raziel You will find washing up sponge is better than the towels and can be washed as well. You may find problems also with the box as there is no seal to it so air will get in and it will stagnate a bit  paper wise I use asda value baking paper and seems to work well for me  good luck with it as it really good to use one Cheers Matt |

The Privateer Press one I have observed uses basically what is wax paper here in the US. Robin has a nice tutorial of this on his YouTube channel, which I found inspiring.

Regular baking paper. I found that my paint tends to contain more water, is more flowable and therefore requires some getting used to compared to diluting paints without wet pallet (I hope this makes sense). Overall results are positive particularly when blending different colors to obtain different tones/tints.

I second the Privateer press stuff. You get loads in the pad they sell and it works well directly on top of a sponge.

I just use a piece of waxed paper on top of a paper towel, sometimes on top of a palette but usually on some random impermeable surface. It's a lot cheaper than the P3 palettes, and I can just toss it when I'm finished. I've never had to save paints between sessions, so that may make a difference.
If I did, I suppose I would but the whole thing in a box of some sort, like a Ferrero Rocher box.
This gives you an excuse to buy a box of Ferrero Rocher outside the normal times of the year like Christmas and birthdays.

hey guys, i have a wet pallet or my art work. available from the local are store.
blotting paper base and grease proof baking sheet on top, it needs to be in a sealed container
eg. something like Tupperware food container.
Raziel if you want to see mine give me a holla on the club forum before the next meeting.

The comment I have on the P3 pallet is the problem with osmosis. Basically the sponge they provide does not easily make full "moist" contact with the baking paper. The solution to this is to add some blotting style paper between the sponge and the baking style paper. This makes the water transfer much more easily so osmosis kicks in much smoother. I do sometimes leave my desk and come back to the same paints later in the day, so having them stored in the wet pallet is very handy.

I've never seemed to have that problem with my Heath Robinson affair but I'll try the blotting paper in between to see if there is better flow |
