It was so nice to work with, and saved me quite some time mixing paints and frustration over dried up paints. There is no holding back, and you can rely on this wet palette to keep you paint perfect during the painting session and in between thanks to its air tightness.

The ability of a wet palette to keep the paint moist for long sessions and to preserve mixes over-night is certainly useful, although this can also be achieved with a dry palette with a little retarder and some cling film. You can use a window scrapper to remove most of the residual paint and wipe the remainder away with a clean paper towel. The key working principle of the wet palette is to moisturize paint, so that it does not dry when you are using it.

It's big enough that there's enough room on the palette for several areas of paint, but not so overly big that it takes up too much space.

I waited until the majority of the water was absorbed by the foam and then added a few more drops until the foam was soggy and saturated to the touch. Easy to use, easy to clean and with the prospect of never having to replace the foam, this could be the wet palette we have been hankering for.

The Figurementors Magazine: Historical Edition – Here at The Illustrated Historical Artist, you can expect a digital magazine that presents content from figure Artists from all around the world. But RGG’s Everlasting Wet Palette product has opened my eyes and left me reeling, suddenly untethered and unsure of my future with this hobby. In this article, I review the Redgrass Games Everlasting Wet Palette Painter 2 after using it in a variety of commissioned miniature painting projects. The Painter V2 also has 20% more painting surface, closing the gap between the old Painter or Painter Lite and the Studio XL. The new Painter V2 now takes up even more space, so unfortunately it is a bit too big for me, so I will stay with the old one.

RedgrassGames gives you an option to use a glass palette insert that fits within the bottom tray of the Everlasting Wet Palette. If the palette is not watertight, you always run the risk of having your paints or any excess water in the Everlasting Wet Palette dripping out into the bottom of whatever bag you transport your gear in. Well, Redgrass Games was nice enough to send me their new V2 Painter Wet Palette that's now available to check out alongside some other cool add ons, so let's take a look! The other thing, is that since none of the paints on the wet palette every dry fully (even the ones that seem dry will get wet again if you mix anything in with them) you have more limited space. The glass palette is ideal for those of us who enjoy using other paint mediums, like oil paints, for working on our miniatures.

The RGG palette paper does not crinkle, wrinkle, or curl as some baking paper may do when placed on your wet palette. This avoids discoloration of the paper, which could turn it yellow and degrade the fibers in the paper. All acrylic paint behave differently on a wet palette, and that extra variable can stumble your growth and skill with paint handling. Read on for more information about wet palettes, or skip ahead to my full user review of the RGG Everlasting Wet Palette (version 2). Until receiving RedgrassGames’ Everlasting Wet Palette, I’d been using a small plastic eyebrow-dyeing palette my girlfriend had dug out of a drawer to save me spending actual money on something.

Redgrass Games have not only managed to improve the durability of their product, but also the quality and usability has gone up multiple levels. A feature of this version is that you can rinse off the paint and end up with a clean palette to start over.
