[QUOTE="Aluvial, post: 5993882, member: 6862"] The best miniature painting tip that I've tried recently, is the wet palette. I picked this up off a French video... Anyhow, here are the materials. You need an air tight locking tupperware. I use the ones where the top hinges onto each side and locks with a rubber seal. Parchment paper. Distilled Water (regular water will mold much quicker). Dense Foam. I use (and it is absolutely perfect for this) the Prince Lionheart Baby Wipe Warmer Replacement Pad. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-Ever-Fresh-Replacement-Ultimate/dp/B000K50780/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1345241200&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=prince+lionhear+wipes+warmer+replacement+pad]Amazon.com: Prince Lionheart Ever-Fresh Replacement Pillows for Ultimate Wipes Warmer: Baby[/ame] Buy the pad first to get a look at the size. Buy the tupperware (mine is called SnapWare. Ok, you are ready. Put the pad in the tupperware, wet with distilled water, cut a piece of parchment paper to size (so it is slightly bigger then the pad. Pour more water until the water is up to the level of the parchment paper. I use water based acryllics. Here's the benefit. I have put three drops of paint on my palette 6 WEEKS AGO and the paint is still fresh, just like when it came from the bottle. I can mix on the palette, and the water absorbs through the parchment paper, and keeps the paint just moist enough not to dry out. This thing has been sitting on my paint table for weeks now, and I've kept the same paint mixes on it for weeks! The mixes will allow you to gain a spectrum of color... and allow you plenty of time to paint multiple miniatures. If you need to thin the paint for washes, just add a drop or two of water.... You may need to get the appropriate surface tension reducer as well, but I don't use it. Anyhow, if anyone is interested, I'll post some pics. Aluvial [/QUOTE]
