Cheap and Chic : no cost Stay wet acrylics palette

Don't know if you're into crafting, but if you are, you're surely already into using items for multiple purposes. Have you ever tried using an one-use plastic party plate as your palette? Do so. It's the cheapest, lightest palette you can have on your hand. 

The plates come into a variety of sizes and colors, which means you can choose whichever is more convenient for you.

Now as for the staying-wet part. It's not as tricky as you might think. Your best friend here would be a spray bottle filled with clear water. You should use it every now and then (depending on the humidity of your conditions and temperature, the time varies). You will learn from experience how often you need to do it while you're working to keep your paints moist (in general one round-around spraying every 10 minutes should be enough). And after you're done with your painting session, you spray with water once more (if you haven't done so quite recently) and you put the paper plate under another sold plastic plate, tray, whatever you have available, with some weight over it for extra sealing (I use the water jar that I use for cleaning my brushes). Done!

If you will not be using the colors for over a day, just uncover, spray once, then cover again. You're set for another day. I use the same plate palette for the entire painting. It saves money and tears, believe me!

Hope you find this useful, ever since I tried it, it's the only way for me.

Till next time, 
:)
