Acrylic paint on an ordinary palette dries within minutes – and with it the shade you only hit on the second attempt. A wet palette changes that: a soaked sponge sits under the paper, moisture passes up through the membrane, and the paint stays workable for hours. With the lid shut a mixed palette keeps for days, and longer still in the fridge. It comes in three parts – a thick sponge as the water reservoir, a filter cloth that evens out the moisture, and a quality paper made from a fine silicone film that lets humidity through but will not let the paint bleed. For figure painters it is a tool that changes how you work.

Transfer paint onto it with the AK614 pipettes and mix to an exact ratio. For quickly mixing larger amounts there are the aluminium palettes and the AK8206 metal wells. Paints are in the AK 3rd Generation range.
How often does the paper need changing?
When it is stained enough that you can no longer read the true shade, or when it starts to tear. In ordinary use it lasts several sessions. The cloth underneath only needs rinsing and drying, and the sponge lasts years.
Will it water down the paint?
Not if it is set up right. The sponge should be soaked but not swimming – pour off the excess. The membrane paper passes only as much moisture as the paint needs to stay open.
Can the palette go in the fridge?
Yes, and it is the best way to keep mixed shades for a week. Close the lid and put it somewhere cold; mould forms far more slowly there than at room temperature.
