Stop wasting paint - save money and work more efficiently & in a more environmentally conscious manner with the patented Masterson®'s Sta-Wet® palette system.
With this system you can keep water-based paints such as acrylics, watercolours, gouache and water mixable oil paints, moist - and therefore open and workable - in the open palette for hours. And when you close the palette with the lid, your paints remain workable for days, sometimes even weeks.
How it works. The palette consists of two parts. A shallow tray, containing a cellulose sponge that you wet with water and on top of that, a sheet of palette paper, on which you mix your paint. That paper also acts as a permeable membrane, sucking up water from the sponge, so that your paint stays moist while painting and does not dry out.The lid, which allows you to close the whole palette, preventing evaporation.
And cleaning? Couldn't be easier — old sheet out, new sheet in!
TIP! This palette is quite large — perfect if you want to work on a large scale with a lot of paint. And another advantage: you don't have to keep mixing your colours.
The product specifications of the Sta-Wet® Premier Palette™ by Masterson®:
- tray: white plastic
- lid: red plastic
- without mixing trays
- dimensions: 41 cm x 31 cm x 4.5 cm
- including one cellulose sponge and 5 sheets of palette paper
N.B. Separate palette paper sheets and sponges are available as refills under the Accessories tab.
TIPS! You can also use this palette for water mixable oil colours - you can then mix your paints directly on the palette paper. However please note: the palette paper is not suitable for classic oil paints thinned with turpentine etc. If you prefer to work on a normal palette, then remove the sponge and paper and use this sealable palette - with the lid closed, your paints will stay workable for longer!
