Wet-Blending w/out a wet pallet

[absolutrudy]

Is it possible to wet-blend effectively w/out a wet-pallet?

Yep - be fast with your paint brush - or even better 2.

Retarder will help alot as well

I wet-blend a lot and never use a wet pallette, so YES, IT\'S POSSIBLE! Wouldn\'t want to do it without retarder, though... But as Shaz pointed out, you\'ll need to be rather quick.

^ What they said.

If I\'m not mistaken, the wet pallete mostly just helps keep your paint \"open\" on the pallete longer. While this means your paint is a less prone to dry, it is not essential to blending, I think.

I can\'t wet blend with either or both so that must mean it is in fact possible without any of it

My pallette couldn\'t get any drier. It\'s a white glazed ceramic tile. Yep, retarder is the business, but a little tends to go a long way, as I learnt the first time I used it. I squirted a little retarder onto my pallette, and used an old brush to mix it into my paint. Painted up the weapon on what I was working on, then went to do something else. Long story short, It was still wet 12 hours later.
