Wet Palette

On another note I tried a wet palette and love it.

Ingredients:
Old Plastic container with lid
Paper Towels
Parchment Paper
Water

I took an old plastic container, lined it with paper towels (probably about 1/2" to 3/4" deep).
put enough water in the container to keep the towels wet, but not to flood the container (the parchment is going right over it and your paint goes on the parchment paper, don't want to flood that).
then took a piece of parchment baking paper and cut it to size over it.

what i can do now is mix a paint and let it sit for hours and more and come back and use it and it won't be dried out because as the paint evaporates water it soaks some up through the parchment paper from the wet paper towels.
