Pallete?

[supervike]

I use a small ceramic tile...with the gloss finish...

Wet blending and a wet-palette are unrelated, you know.

I used to use a wet palette, but I found I had little control over paint dilution. Nowadays, I use empty blister packs, the sort you\'d buy medicinal pills in. There are plenty of wells on each \'palette\', they\'re available with many different well sizes, they\'re cheap and surprisingly easy to clean. They also offer a small surface area-to-volume, so the paint dries less rapidly than with a flat palette.

Up unyil a couple of weeks ago I\'d been using the plastic paint tray-palette that came with my GW starter paint set a couple of years ago. I\'ve now switched to a white saucer which seems to work fine.

I use a wet pallette, made from a CD case with cotton wool on the bottom, blotting paper, then sandwich paper. Also use a white glazed tile

I\'m using the back of the Rackham blisters (the flat one) filled with wet kitchen paper with a foil of parchement paper.

At the end of the day I\'ll throw away the kitchen paper and the parchement paper and use again the blister.

Probably the cheapest wet palette

I use these:

Old yougurt lids. Free. Portable. Disposable. And I get a new one every day with my lunch.

Before I heard about thining paints I use to use my thumb nail. Now I use just about any thing although a white tile is my fave. I did manage to pick up quite a few well palletes from a cheepy store but I hate cleaning them so I dont use em as much.

glass cleaner

I use a white tile at the moment. Though in the past I\'ve used a white plastic plate, gw blisters, cd cases, the table. Really what ever was handy.


*BIG NOTE* A little trick I picked up while working at GW. If you spray dried gw paints with Glass Cleaner (ie:windex, or the cheap stuff that costs $1) and let it sit for a few minutes it will wrinkle and you can scrape it right off. I usually just push the back end of my scrap brush around.
It pulls the paint right off and you can wipe it with paper towel and viola. Sparkley white again.


(I don\'t know if it works for Vallejo or Master. If anyone tries let me know)

Well, I usually use a wet palette, um, this one:

But that\'s in storage right now, so I use a 4\" square white glazed ceramic tile I got for 50 cents or something...but that\'s usually full of sculpting gunk, curing greenstuff or sculpey waiting to be baked, so what I use most at the moment is a plastic grocery bag. Wrap it around a book or a CD case. Works great, when it gets all funky just shift the bag over to a clean spot, when there are no more clean spots, toss it.

Anything white and ceramic - plates, tiles or shop-bought daisy. Whichever\'s clean(est).

 

[Arma]

Wet palette, some plastic card or the little petal ceramic palettes.

i use a wet pallette, made out of an old GW movement tray, some toilet paper and sandwich paper (McDonalds hamburger wraps.....those are free for me, since i work there but most restaurants will give you some for free if you ask)

works like a charm, cheap and easy to transport, i throw away everything but the movement tray and pack some sandwich paper (everybody has toilet paper)

Ditto at home.

White bathroom tiles when I\'m teaching.
Soak them in the sink for a bit and I\'ve not had any brand of paint stick.

I use malfunctioning CD\'s

 

[Thunderhawker]

I use the cheap disposable ones with the round wells, and a paper pad of disposable pallete (basically wax paper in tablet format).
