Working in acrylics on your miniatures, and even in plastic kit modeling, you will inevitably run into the issue of paint drying out in those wonderful and painstaking mixtures you’ve blended together for that oh just so right color, before you are able to fully use all of it. That for me, generally happens where I break for the day and come back the next or couple days later. The best way to remedy that is with a paint-saver palette, and this is one of the best I’ve seen.
Available at Jerry’s Artarama for $41.29 (List $67.85)… I picked one up tonight, on sale for $32.10.
This amazing palette lets you store up to 21 colors in fairly large volume and take them with you in the field, classroom, and on vacations. Eliminates the need to travel with tubes or jars that take up lots of space, and may be accidentally punctured or opened during transit. This 13 3/4" × 9 7/8" × 2" palette system fits into most bags.
The key to this air-tight palette is the tight seal, combined with misting your acrylics periodically to create a humid environment within. Paints will last up to a month or more with weekly misting when not in use, based on extensive testing by acrylic artists. When painting, simply take your paint and mix onto one of six small mixing trays (or the large mixing palette), and seal the rest of the palette not being used while painting. Continue to mist paint periodically to keep from drying while working. When finished with your custom mix, allow the mixing tray to dry and just peel off the paint, to mix the next series of colors.
