Do you guys alternate between a dry surface like a tile and the traditional wet palette?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796212/11056021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796212/11056021.page GMT Tile vs wet palette http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796212/11056037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796212/11056037.page GMT Tile vs wet palette
Everything but doing a wash or metallics.

Fine fine work like dotting white in an eye, I’ll just tap the tip of the brush straight into the pot maybe.

I read you shouldn’t put metallic paint on there but I’m trying it and so far it’s fine.

Interestingly I put a blob of green stuff world intensity in and a blob of one of their washes on there and they were usable for a while after. The next day however both were thinned too much.

If the paint consistency is too loose, then the sponge might be too wet or the paint is too loose (in which case, you probably didn't need to put on a wet palette) to begin with.

FWIW, wet palette really shines when transferring globs of paint. It's really not intended for smearing paint onto it.

You can also make your 'dry' palette function like a wet palette by spraying some water then covering it with a foil. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796212/11059555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796212/11059555.page GMT Re:Tile vs wet palette

Define finer work, I tend to use my wet palette for everything except when I make up a thin wash for covering bases.
