A fairly decent size at It is soft and flexible, I worry that before long it would crack. But with care and attention, it can last a good while. If you can find one cheap in a hobby store somewhere, may be worth picking one up — Just so you have a decent container and some sheets. But beware it only comes with 12 sheets of the semi-permeable membrane. The refill packs for more paper come in packs of 12 — each pack has 3 keep-wet absorbent papers in too.

Put simply — it does the job, but you can make a better DIY Palette. This is a really large wet-palette, designed for fine-art. With the workable area measuring at This is also a two for one, with one side the lid acting as the wet palette and the base is a segmented dry palette with mixing area in the middle.

It has a solid build quality and an excellent reputation — replacement sheets and sponges are readily available. The first one on the list which is made specifically by a company who specialises in wargames and model paints. Scale 75 should need no introduction and their wet palette is one of the most functional options out there. However, unlike most of the other options, this is a one-use solution. No storing in the fridge with this one. As soon as you flip the lid over the wet palette would fall into the dry palette, mixing your paints.

Sure you can store it upside down, but you need to wipe out the dry palette first. Certainly the most discreetly-functional option, but if you are specifically after a single item which will keep your active paints wet for the longest periods — grab one of the other options — or make your own.

From the largest palette on the list to possibly the smallest. And 2, a layer called a wipe, which is an absorbent cloth fibre layer. This extra layer acts as a kind of water filter as it absorbs water but unlike other palettes which can overdilute your paint — this helps limit the amount of water which sits directly below the semi-permeable paper.

On the other hand, the foam that sits below this is quite thick so it can take a lot of water sitting in the base to actually reach up to the middle layer. This palette retains the most consistent paint to water ratio out of any wet palette. Another issue is that the paper and wipe are flush with the edges, of the container — so adding extra water when needed is awkward. And when not in use you should really store your wet palette in the fridge to keep the paint wet for longer and to stop bacteria build-up.

Do you want to store brushes in the fridge? Especially if they have wooden handles. Another downside to this is that the foam and paper sit flush with the edge of the base container. As your palette naturally dries out, you need to lift up the paper later to reactivate the foam with extra water.

Annoying — especially as this can lead to paint running and mixing. The paper is really good on this one and the benefit of this — like with any wet-palette is that you have the convenience of not having to cut sheets of paper every time you need them.

Decent product — fair price widely available. This palette comes from an excellent Kickstarter campaign and was initially made as just a 3D printed base and lid. The production version is made entirely of ABS plastic and features a rubberised seal to encourage the moisture to stay in the palette when not in use. For retail options, this really is the best choice.
