I am using GW paints, and I have found out about the magic of wet palettes. Does anyone have any idea if the GW paints work well with the P3 palette? Also, is there any common paper that I could find around the house that works as wet palette paper?
Thanks,
David

Citadel paints work just fine on any wet palette, P3's included.

As for paper substitutes; some baker's parchment paper works wonderfully. You can even make your own wet palette with either some paper towels or a sponge in a container, with some parchment paper on top.

Yep this.

I use a discarded ziplock tupperware thing. 2 dollar store sponges and parchment paper for my wet pallet. Works like a champ.

as a user of the P3 wet pallete n GW paints I can safely say they work fine together.

I use Costco/Kirkland Parchment paper. I believe it's not supposed to make the paint bead up, instead allowing the paint to spread and be mixed.

The degree of beading is mostly dependent on how much the paint has been thinned. Unless it's soaking into the paper (which shouldn't happen), expect at least a little. Still, that's entirely workable.

The Kirkland stuff should work fine. I use Reynold's brand parchment paper quite happily over a few layers of paper towel. It's all basically the same stuff, so long as you don't accidentally buy waxed or freezer paper, instead.

Thanks for the tips!

I picked up some GW paints for the first time ever - ceramite white really does have good coverage even over black. I despise the tubs, so annoying havig to brush some paint ontop your pallet, not to mention wasteful. I'll likely move them over into dropper bottles which are so much better for use on (wet) palettes (and airbrush).

I have used wax paper and parchment paper over a folded piece of paper towel and both work great.

Many dollar stores carry both for much cheaper than a grocery store.
