[@saracrittendencoppedge4522]

Fantastic. Just what I need here in TEXAS where the temperature is 102 and I have no AC in my studio. My paints have been drying out before I can get them on the canvas. Thanks again.

[@terripetrovits4517]

I'm just beginning to explore painting with acrylics - I've been painting with watercolors for over 30 years - I played around with them yesterday, and was shocked at how fast the paints dried. I just pulled up your video, having no idea what a 'wet palette' actually meant. THANK YOU!!

[@amandaliu3818]

This technique has eliminated so much frustration of using acrylic paints! No more scrubbing paint off your palette and no more dry paint! It's life changing!

[@PamelaCaughey]

YES! It was for me, too - so happy it is working for you!! Much more paint to work with, right? YAY!! :)

[@katecohen8038]

Thanks for the tip. Blue paper towel is a good idea. I used the sponge under the old ironing table cloth. :) And now I will go to the cafeteria for the tray. :)

[@PamelaCaughey]

Wonderful! Have fun, Can!! :)

[@mariad4183]

Wonderful! Thank you for the info Miss. Pamela xoxo

[@108bhavani]

Thankyou for your post I tried it Yesterday and can still use my paint today. Just happed to have a spare tracing paper to recycle. I have done this in the past using grease proof paper. I had forgotten all about this method

[@victordenola5068]

Best wet palette tutorial l have come across 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@midnightmurphy2972]

My 7 year old daughter loves painting, I will let her watch your videos ❤️

[@sherrysymington1819]

Nice home-made solution! Also, Masterson's Sta-Wet Palette 12"x16" can keep acrylic paints fresh for days, or even weeks. Comes inside a plastic box with air-tight lid....very handy for transporting. Includes a thin sponge at the bottom of the box, and nice palette paper. Sold at most art stores, and online.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Hi Sherry - thank you for sharing that tip!!! I"m glad that artists have many ways to keep their acrylics wet so they can work longer :)!!

[@laurieyeo8736]

You answer questions I have yet thought to ask. This is a terrific way to create pallette

[@beenasibi6768]

Excellent !!!! This idea ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@user-vi5hh6st1h]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@vibrantly50]

This will become my standard palette to work off of! Thanks so much! ❤️

[@ortegastix]

Very helpful tip, thank you so much.

[@mindyfitterman5844]

This is so helpful. I've seen this method, but missed the 4 layers and the great volume of water. Thank you!

[@berniefiorelli7533]

Very helpful and instructions were perfect You have a great and soothing voice

[@lisafred1362]

Just want you to know I so appreciate this tip and I LOVE LOVE that painting you did behind you. OMG I want to crawl into your brain!

Mil Gracias! Excelente tip!!!😘😘😘 Besos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@mixedupmedia]

What a marvelous solution! Thank you for sharing your cost-effective tips.

[@janinafisher101]

That's amazing. Sharing these kinds of tips is very helpful, especially for someone like me who is just learning to paint. Thank you!❣

[@WilmaVoermans]

I just use a plastic cakecontainer (dont know the exact word in english). You can buy them at a household store to save you cakes. You can buy them round or rectangle. They have a lid and small airholes. I put layers very wet kitchentowel , than a bakingsheet. Thats all... My paints stay fresh for weeks without molding or getting that thin film you dont want.

[@olive6534]

Thank you!!! With covid-19 going on rn i really need something I can find at home.

[@elkezieb3559]

Thank you, great with baking sheet i have them at home, will try 💐

[@tracybrislin]

Thank you for the wet palette demo! You literally saved all of your followers a ton of money as well as being able to match the colors already mixed, the following day!

[@candacetroystudios]

Great tip. I love your videos and teaching knowledge. I get motivated every time i see you create.

[@bobworthy7001]

Wow! What a practical and useful solution. Thanks!!

[@christianecarson4321]

Great idea, much cheaper than the stay wet palettes and membranes that I've been wistfully looking at!!! Thank very much!!!

[@PamelaCaughey]

You are so welcome!

[@sandrad.wilcox2421]

You’re such an inspiration. Thanku Pamela

[@MarietteLeppert]

Thank you so much for this trick. I will surely use it in future.

[@user-so3bu3vk5j]

thank you so much ...i have been looking for ways to save paint...this helps tremendously

[@judyoneal6264]

Enjoyed learning this, saves paint too

[@christinegaardsted269]

Thank you sooo very much for sharing, this is one of the most helpful tips ever !!!!!!

[@PamelaCaughey]

So glad you enjoyed it, Christine :)! Happy Painting!

[@pamelawarren4251]

Great video pam. I like the cafeteria tray and tracing paper ideas as it provides for a large stay-wet palette. Larger than what others are showing us to make. I’m a novice just learning and taking my first acrylics class, but having a stay-wet palette is required for this course. Stay well and thanks for great tips.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Many thanks, Pamela! Hope to see you in my Art School - I also have lots of online courses and LOVE my artist community :) www.ARTandSUCCESS.com!

[@RachelMishael]

This is such a great idea! Going to try it today!

[@deboralevyart]

Wouuuu!!! This is the best tip I heard !!!!! Many many thanks !!!!!

[@ricardorincon-benzala148]

Thank you very much for the Spanish subtitles. That allows me to fully understand your explanations.

[@laurab.newmark2411]

This is a very valuable tip Pam & Ive been using it for some time now thanks to you & Nicholas . I'm currently in Spain and far away from any store that carried tracing paper so I substituted with parchment paper and it worked just fine. Paints actually stay wet for a few days . Looking forward to more of these great tips when I'm set up in my new studio. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & your process. It really makes a difference for beginners .

[@PartScavenger]

Thank you for sharing that Laura I do not have any tracing paper but I do have parchment paper!!!

[@dianehansma1725]

Thank you so much for sharing from your heart for free lessons on acrylics. Bless you! Love your work.

You are welcome Bette! 🌻🌻

[@loriroll5773]

Hi Pam, Great tip, thank you! I used wax paper on top of CWM paints and it works pretty well. My favorite tools are garage sale kitchen and work shop tools. Pastry cutting wheel is awesome, as well as angel food cutting tool. Shop tools are endlessly fun. I loved your rolling pin additions. Fun, fun! Thank you.

[@maryannbradshaw6658]

Thank you so much for this tip. I have only been painting a few years and this has been my greatest frustration. I will definitely try this method of keep the paint wet.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Awesome Maryann! It works really well! Have fun 💖😄

[@TheDabshear]

Thank you sharing this tip. Just starting in acrylics after using watercolor for many years.

[@robertcomeau1928]

Thanks, I'm going to try this. Great ideas. Thanks

[@shelleyhakonson5307]

Really a very useful tip, I've thrown out so much dried up paint. Thanks for this.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Me too - acrylic dries to fast - so happy to have learned this great tip! See you in class! :)

[@claireonlinex]

Thanks so much i'm going to try this today, I usually use oils so I was abit nervous, but not anymore!! Woooo

[@cherylwagner-blake1023]

Thank you so much just starting acrylic painting and this is extremely helpful. Your generosity of information is very inspiring !

[@laradas6043]

Thank you Pamela.. I am a beginner and I value such suggestions....

[@PamelaCaughey]

Sharyn -I’m glad it is helpful!! 😉

[@francecharron8160]

Hello Pam - thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tip! I am a new subscriber to your KZbin channel - I might register to some of your training once my studio is all set up as I find that you are a wonderful artist and communicator.

[@LIEBESKIND1]

Thank you!

[@bonniecarpenter6860]

Love this idea. I am a beginner painter using acrylic paints.

[@seleneseltzer7762]

Hi Pam - Love this palette trick. I've found by having another cafeteria tray and if you turn it over and using #2 tray as a cover, it keeps the paint lots longer! Thanks!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Thanks, Selene - that's an awesome tip as well! I will definitely try that :)!!

[@nsmakay]

Thank you. I look forward to watching your videos and learning more 👩🏻‍🎨🎨🖼😃

[@susanpernot8751]

I've found when you buy cookies at walmart bakery, these plastic trays make great palettes with recloseable lids, paint keeps for 2+ weeks.

[@carolzupkas6421]

Excellent tip. Thank you. I’m going to try a regular towel and baking paper because I have these on hand.

[@kashivishwanath7603]

Hi. The best Tip I have received on Acrylic paints. I used glass pallet and paints used to dry very fast, will try this right away. Thanks.

[@mooreng]

I love this Pam. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@PamelaCaughey]

You are welcome, Nancy!! :)

[@blissfulone5698]

Wow...great idea! My paints have dried up almost immediately, making it very difficult to work. I'm new to acrylic paint. In porcelain painting, we use metal boxes with covers and a piece of glass insert that covered the whole bottom of a metal box. Under the glass, we can draw boxes on plain white xerox paper and place the name of the color pallet or just name the colors that we are using for our project. I suppose also using a plastic square box with a lid would suffice to do the same. Because we use an oil medium..it was easy just to close this up and pack away and keep it fresh for weeks. Using a glass pallet helps keep brushes from getting ruined...so this is also a nice trick. After reading a few other comments..Wilma has a great idea of using a plastic box, kitchen towel & a baking sheet & a cover. Cover is a great idea due to dust. My work with this acrylic painting today was a waste of so much paint and once mixed, it just peeled off like plastic. Not fun! Look forward to trying something different. Thank you so much!

[@Rosanne1121]

Great tip and so easy to do!
