MP-05 Palette Color Mixing Paper (Infiltrating) (50pcs)

Replacement high-permeability mixing paper for the wet palette

A wet palette keeps water-thinnable paint workable for several hours: the absorbent layer underneath holds water, the paper on top lets it through only slowly and the paint on it therefore does not dry out. This product is mixing paper with higher permeability, that is the consumable that gets changed in the palette. The package holds fifty pieces. It is intended for the basic version of the wet palette.

High-permeability mixing paper lets moisture through faster than an ordinary one. The paint on it stays fluid for longer, which helps with glazes and with shades that are mixed step by step and have to stay workable through a whole session.

What it is for

• Topping up the consumables for a wet palette
• Keeping acrylic and water-thinnable paints workable through a whole session
• Mixing shades step by step without the paint stiffening in between
• Painting figures and smooth transitions, where paint is picked up in small amounts

How it is used

Put the paper into the palette according to its layout and let it soak up clean water; it should soak evenly, not sit in a puddle. When the work is over, take the paper out and let it dry separately, or throw it away if it is saturated with paint. Rinse the palette itself out and leave it open, otherwise damp stays inside and it starts to grow mold.

What to watch out for

A wet palette is intended for water-thinnable paints. Solvent-based enamels and lacquers do not work on it, because they do not get on with water and will ruin the absorbent paper. Store the papers dry; a damp package sticks together.

The palette itself and paints are not included in the package.
