I use a slightly textured cutting board from a discount store. I believe the primer I used on it cost more than the board itself. Works like a charm, highly recommend
I've been using a glass cutting board as my paint palette and it works great but it doesn't have any texture so I just keep swirling the brush around to remove the excess paint. So far so good. I was thinking of getting one of these and priming it to get a better idea of how colors would look when mixed.
I think mine go for $25 which includes postage but you can find others out there a lot cheaper that 30/40. The mdf has enough grit in it to help the process. I have tried Resin and Plastic texture palettes and they do offer different experiences. But sure anything that doesn't absorb the moisture would work. :)
Thanks for this video, it really helps explain the concept. I've seen others also incorporate a dampening pad. Have you experimented with a dampening pad, and if so do you like it?
Yeah a small sponge that’s damp can keep the moisture on the brush and prolong the paint usage. It’s a great tool. I have seen folks purely throw some fine sponge on an area on their wet palette as well which works. All great fun experimenting and see what works to help with painting. Thanks for the comment.
Yes a damning sponge is decent to keep the brush moist if you are doing a ton of work with problonged periods of the paint being on the brush. I tend not to do that though as it’s a paint to wash the brushes out the longer you have paint on the brush.
You don’t have to clean it as the palettes should still have a texture to work on! Eventually the paint may build up but a quick wipe with isopropyl will get the paint off or it may even peel off it you have enough of it.
@@Branpanman we don’t have any in stock at the moment but if you wanted to shoot us an email on warpgatepainting@gmail.com I’ll get you in the list for when the next batch comes in. :)
You can give it a wipe with some isopropyl or just keep using it. I would wait until it’s caked on and then peel it off or give it a clean. As long as you still have a texture you are good though!
