Recently I've had a really weird problem. I've been painting for about three years now and using a wet palette for most of that time without this happening but the last few weeks I keep returning to a palette to find paint I'd put on it only the day before has pretty much evaporated leaving just a dry residue. It's even happened with glazes that are 99% medium. It's summer but it's not that hot. What am I doing wrong? I'm getting through my hydration sheets fast and can't explain this. Anyone else ever have the issue?

Are you putting a cover on the palette? Is the air particularly dry in your home?

Those are the first things that come to mind for me.

With the weather tease days its no wonder.

Do you store your wet pallette in the fridge when not in use?
