The Army Painter Hydropack Bundle Stay Wet Palette for Acrylic Painting - Acrylic Paint Palette, 50 Pcs Wet Palette Paper, and 2 Wet Pallet Sponges

Great to save your colors for about 48hrs so you can come back to a project where you left off. Tip 1: Keep on a level surface when storing. It states this in instructions. If not, due to water, colors will run inside. Tip 2: I put a black dot of paint, a dot of color of choice, and a dot of white, spaced out on a single row. I repeat for each color. Then you can blend the black and color to create a dark shade that’s perfect and again with the color and white for a lighter shade that’s perfect. The water helps them blend great and smooth. Paint a dark shade on figure first, then the normal shade on more risen areas that would catch light, finally the light shade for hard edges. Then get a very watery mix off the edge of your main color and paint over the whole area to lightly tint area and blend all the shades. Do this for each color/section. Works for me. Price is a little steep but worth it for the long run if you will painting a lot in the future.

Came broken out of the box. Past the 30 day refund period. A real bummer.

Esta excelente y funciona perfecto, el único problema que le vi es que si se mueve toda la pintura se corre

I have had the Army wet palette for a few months now and find it to be perfect for blending colors and it does keep the acrylic model paints reusable for 4 or 5 days. It is everything it says it is and worth the $24.55 I bought it for (with free postage). I only rated the palette with four stars as Amazon shipped the item in a puffy pack and the box was badly crushed when I received it. I like the Army wet palette enough that I bought a second one as a Christmas gift, but this time I bought it else where to insure it wasnt damaged.

Definitely helps the paint stay fresh much longer. One detail was that the paper sheets are smaller than the sponge, so its easy to accidentally get paint on the sponge towards the edges

This product is by no means a revolutionary item that breaks the boundaries. However, it does exactly what its supposed to do and it seems to be solidly constructed. If youre tired of building your own wet pallets I would recommend.

So many colors. Perfect for painting miniatures. I went so long using craft store paint. Now my hobby has taken the next step.

Works well however, if you are trying to save your paint for days it will dry up.

Good: The wet palette sponge/paper work so incredibly well it has changed the way I paint forever. Not so good: The center brush holder plate sits very low in the bottom section which holds your wet palette. So if you want to close and leave your paints protected from dust, etc. They cant be in any kind of glob or pile, or else they get squished all over the bottom of the brush holder portion. You might think to leave the brush holder out, but the top slides off of the bottom without the center plate. Really surprising, since one of its main claims to fame is storing paints for hours/days. Im not working in a clean room. Also, you need to use an elastic band to hold everything together. This looks great, but is clumsy in practice. A clasp or snapping system seems the far better choice ergonomically. Conclusion: Frankly the sponges and papers work so well that they overcome the confusing container design for me, but being an expensive setup by an established brand it is surprising how poorly it seems to be designed.

Got it for my close friend, he says it’s fantastic!
