A wet palette is a tool used by artists, particularly painters, to keep their paint moist and workable for longer periods. It typically consists of a shallow container filled with a damp sponge or paper towel, covered by a sheet of parchment or baking paper. This setup creates a humid environment that prevents the paint from drying out quickly. Wet palettes are especially popular among those who use acrylic paints, as these can dry rapidly. By using a wet palette, artists can save paint, maintain color consistency, and extend their working time, making it easier to blend and layer colors effectively.
