Hello World! Welcome Friends! Art is truly a picturesque form of expression and its possibilities for creativity are endless, but if you don’t work with quality products your creation or design can quickly become lackluster or even worse, look lower-grade.
We have all seen those movie scenes where artists are set up on a tranquil porch, the sun beaming down over the house and landscape making for the perfect setting to paint, and while this seems ideal it can cause havoc with your paints if you don’t use the right tools from the get-go. Weather conditions can significantly affect the way acrylic paints react causing them to dry too quickly, crack, or get hard. This means you may end up having to mix colors multiple times in smaller batches which leads to color variations and a nightmare of a painting to complete. Until now.
By keeping your acrylic paints fluid and moveable you can enjoy painting for longer, and have peace of mind that when you pause on your artwork to come back to it later, your paints will be as good as when you started. But how? By using a high-quality Wet Palette for painting with acrylics you can be sure your paints won’t dry out or crisp up and maintain their quality sheen and hue.
If this sounds like something that will transform your painting but not sure what it entails then this article is for you. Let’s dive in and see what it’s all about and how it can take your painting to the next level.
A Pallet that Will Change Your Artistic Perspective for the Better
So, what is a Wet Pallet? It is essentially a wet piece of paint pallet paper that rests on a sponge that holds water in an air-tight box. It is perfect for miniature painting which requires several layers of thinly applied paint coats, and this wet pallet box not only keeps your acrylic paints moist but you can work with them for longer without risking them drying out.
Using a wet pallet offers a host of positives from maintaining the same colors for a long time without needing to remix, encouraging trickier blending techniques without wasting paints, and more so the advantage of delayed drying so your paints stay quality for longer.
You always want to opt for a wet pallet box that comes with an anti-bacterial treated sponge that won’t shrink or react with your acrylic paints, and be sure the sealing lid is completely airtight.
Shaking Things Up
Now that you know your paints will be at their best consistency for a good amount of time once opened and put into the wet palette, you do want to be sure that the acrylic paints you’re adding to the pallet are properly mixed. If not, they will leak different colors, and consistencies, or even create air bubbles that react differently once out of the tube. Your acrylic paints should be thoroughly mixed at all times but with so many colors needed at once, it can be tricky to ensure proper mixing, unless you have a paint shaker.
A Paint Shaker is a much-needed to for mixing paints to maintain quality across your acrylic paints once mixed. It ensures the texture is homogenized and properly mixed and is great not only for acrylic paints but for enamels and lacquers too so you get your money’s worth. It is so simple to use, and great for beginners looking to produce quality work when starting out.
Using both a paint shaker and then a wet pallet will certainly take your painting execution to the next level, here’s how;
- You can thin your paints for proper consistency
- It allows you to mix custom colors without your paints drying out
- Paints can be used, and remain usable, for days if not weeks if kept in the airtight container and the water in the sponge topped up
Your Best Art Yet
With all the advantages of modern day equipment and tools you can be sure that your love for art, designs, and creations will shine through by using the best quality paints and pallets. There is no time like the present to take your skills and love for creativity to the next level, and when it comes to using great tools like wet pallets and paint shakers that add that touch of elegance to your quality of work, all the better.
