WetNDri Stay Wet Palette for Miniature & Acrylic Painting

I´have The WetNDri Painting Palette has honestly been a game changer for me! ✨

I received it as a gift, and since then, I can’t imagine painting without it. Working with acrylics used to feel rushed, but now my paints stay wet for so long that I can really enjoy the process and stay in the flow.

It’s not only incredibly functional but also beautifully designed – a perfect blend of practicality and aesthetics.

A must-have for any artist who loves working with acrylics or Acuarel!

I love the thank you card that came with the product. The took the time to let us know that they appreciate the business as well as give an awesome story about the creators of the pallet.

Very sturdy and sealed tight. I've had paint in it for a month now to test it. Definitely still usable. Plenty of compartments to work with as well. I'd buy this 3 times over.

I am an artist who works in a variety of mediums. I have a wet palette that I use for acrylics, but I thought it would be nice to have an additional palette to take to locations with me.

HOW THIS COMES
This palette comes beautifully boxed in a very thick and sturdy box which is suitable to store it in when not in use. It also is a great place to keep the extra papers and sponge with instructions.

PALETTE
The palette has a variety of pieces to it. The palette all fits together in a stack. There is the cover and the paint palette for depositing paint in to keep colors divided. There is the base that the palette comes out of and in that is a sponge you put in there and a thin piece of palette paper over that.

HOW TO USE

You wet the sponge with DISTILLED WATER. Let it expand to fill the tray. Drain off excess water, and place the paper on top of it. Once the paper is damp, if necessary turn it over. Most of the time it is not necessary. You can begin to mix the colors you want on the palette sheet (I use acrylic, but you can use this for water if you want- it just gets messy).
Once you use what you want, if you need to store the colors for a day or two, tip over the tray to get rid of the extra water, and then put all of the pieces back together again and hold them together with enclosed elastic band.

HOW LONG?
This will only work for a few days with acrylics. I find watercolors too messy to use with this as they are easy enough to re-wet using water in the brush. I find that if I use them up within a few days at most, that this palette works great.

STORAGE
When I am keeping paints moist, I make sure to store this FLAT not on its side.WHEN FINISHEDWhen finished with this palette for a painting session, you take out the sheet and dispose of it. Leave the sponge out to air dry after rinsing, and clean the paint palette too. Once the pieces are clean and dry, then stack them together and store for the next time.

BRUSH HOLDER
There is a small plastic brush holder which is handy to keep the brushes from getting your work surface all messy.

QUALITY
This is a very beautiful set. The quality is top notch, and honestly there is so much care taken in putting this set together, I can say that it is really worth taking a look at.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Very high quality set with excellent presentation, this wet palette is worth taking a look at. It is makes a nice feeling to own such a set and as a gift would be loved for sure by an artist who likes color and practicality.

MY RATINGFIVE STARS.
I really like this set a lot. It is not airtight, but it does allow me to spend a few days on acrylic paintings instead of having to set up every time and clean up completely. The added elegance is a plus and I feel special every time I use it. You get quite a few papers in it, and if necessary, you can cut your own palette papers from other brands if you can not get their refills.

This product is better than I expected. The quality, presentation, stability, perfect to travel. I am very satisfied and happy that now I have a pallet with a lot of uses. Is excellent, beautiful made. I feel like a rich person because is so beautiful! I am happy, very happy. :)

These guys really thought of it all for the miniature painting needs. I went on a whim and bought this after seeing the review on Geek Gaming Scenics. The size of the pallet is perfect it's easy for transport doesn't take space on the table and you get two wet pallets and one dry pallet all in one clean design. I have no complaints. Will buy more papers from them as well.I should say too the materials chosen are good. This isn't cheap build by any means. The sponges are great. The plastic makes tight seals when each pallet is stacked. It is a quality product well worth the money.Maybe they'll give me some free stuff for leaving a review. Wouldn't hold it against them if they didn't though. 😉

Im a miniature painter who comes from a fine art background. Ive tried and tested several other wet palettes in the market before so I thought this review might help others in making a decision on how this brand compares to others.

I first started using the Masterson Sta-Wet palette years ago. As a product, it works really well but the container itself is cheaply made and comes with a yellow sponge that I didnt care too much for. The paper is unique but doesnt allow enough water to come through to dilute paints. What I didnt like was that the tray is quite high and not much better than home-made versions.

I then moved onto the Army Painters version but found its a bit small for my needs and the brush holder only holds certain types of brushes due to the design. The build quality is a step higher than the sta wet pallet but the paper is terrible.

When Redgrass Everlasting wet palette had their Kickstarter, I enthusiastically bought that version. While I liked RGGs build quality, I found that the wells are too small and the paper also pills and tears easily. Id also prefer for the tray height to be just a tad lower.

So I continued my search for a better version. I think Ive now found the perfect wet palette for my needs. As you can see from the photos, its just a tad smaller in size compared to the sta wet pallet but much larger than redgrassgames wet palette and the army painter wet palette. This brand has the lowest tray out of the sets I have plus the paper is far better. The paint on this palette remains neat and usable whereas it would have run everywhere by now with the other brands.

Most of all, I love having the wells on the dry palette; so much nicer than using random bits of plastic. While this is more expensive, its so worth it in every sense of the word. Its better designed with the paint wells, superior build quality, great sponge and superb paper, tight fitting, but most of all it is compact and still has space to hold brushes. Just get it now. Its worth every cent and will make your painting session so much more enjoyable.

I have never had anything like this before, and I've painted for almost 64 years. Most of my life I have used oils, but a couple of years ago I challenged myself to go back, after 40 years, and try acrylics once again. It was a tough thing to do, as the acrylics handle completely different. One of the problems I had was to have my paints dry up before I finished the area I was working on. I paint with a lot of detail, so it takes a lot of time. I believe I threw away as much paint as I used, maybe more. I was hesitant, when I first heard of this product, as there is always someone out there trying to sell you something to make you "a better artist". I received my wet palette, easily figured out how to set it up, and put it to use. Wonderful! I worked with it for the past week and have yet to have my paints dry up. It's especially important when you are mixing colors to be able to go back to them. I will definitely recommend this product to my students, and the artists I am in contact with. Plenty worth the money. Unbelievable! I am very happy with it. And, by the way, this company has some wonderful detail brushes. I was given a set of the Minute Series XII, detail brushes by my son. They are now all that I use. They did not treat me like a number when I contacted them. I have found a home with them. JESS ANDERSON

the best wet/dry paint tray I've brought I've it looks professionally and works perfectly i love it top quality

Literally the best one I’ve owned. Super nice design, great quality! I’ve painted miniatures for over 30 years, and this one is definitely a must. Great for beginners and pros.

Not only is this wet palette beyond perfect the customer service is A1. Had an issue (probably due to my own stupidity) and got a response same HOUR. They not only resolved my issue with ease but we’re very pleasant to speak with. If you are on the fence… buy it. Doesn’t get better then this.

I like the size of this pallet, it doesn't take up a big amount of my work table. I also like the specialty sponge and pallet paper combo. I recently started painting Warhammer figures with my son as a bonding activity. Those little critters are pretty fun to paint! We picked up some specialty Citadel paints, and the consistency is perfect for enhancing the details! But Citadel paints are somewhat pricey! Add to that the fact that they dry quickly, and you have potential for significant waste. I hate wasting art supplies!

The WetNDri Paint Tray Pallet has solved the waste issue very nicely! I put a few drops of paint on the pallet paper and mixed up a custom color for painting the metal on my critters, and then when I was finished with a first coat, I closed up the pallet & left for about a half hour. When I came back the paint was still perfectly wetted. I did a little more detail, closed the pallet and left again (there are a lot of 15 minute drying intervals during paint sessions for miniatures) Came back after lunch and picked up right where I left off.

I like the dry pallet section too, although I have yet to do anything more than store brushes in it. But I'm thinking I might use it for mica powders and Rub n' buff metallics as well as dry brushing paints.

I only have one real problem with this pallet; I originally bought it as a gift for my son, but I like it so much that now I have to get another one for him, because I'm keeping this bad boi!

I have not used this item during painting as of yet... however I have received the item and it's very nice. I was able to store all my random brushes inside the box for traveling. The spong pads that come with it are also of quality. I don't think you can go wrong with this item.

High grade materials, well thought out design, and nicely designed packaging.My only change I'd make: have the top cover have the feather embossing. itd be a great texture dry brushing board, and would be far enough from the wet palette. right now, the embossed side is the bottom wet palette.

This item was a gift - the recipient loves it and uses it every day with acrylic paints.

I paint mini figures and these help me keep my paints from drying out super fast. Its also really great to mix paints on

What a clever way to store and keep your wet, pallets, wet!

I had seen these particular pallets used in miniature painting videos, definitely helps.

Product support is also very solid!

Keeps the paint wet for weeks, optional compartments great for inks/contrast etc. I love it! I can see it being extremely useful for painters of miniatures and illustrators. But why I love it so much is that I can only paint from time to time….. sometimes it is 4 or 5 days between sessions. The paint has literally not dried! Such a money saver as previously I was not using up all the paint. Now it is rare that the paper is dry before the whole project is done! Thank you D’Artisan Shoppe team.

I am using it. Glad I got it. Very happy!

I bought this for the wet palette, but I use the top tray for primers. I don’t need the wet palette when I prime a lot at one time. I just leave the thinned primers in the wells and I can do a larger job without using the wet pallet.

I love it , it is way better them the homemade one I had, would recommend to anyone.

I use it with watercolors and works well. Makes the time I spent painting to get to and use everything I need. I don't know yet how long it will last but till then I'm having fun.

Very well packaged with instructions. Well thought out and well made

I think this pallet is amazing for anyone who wants one that will do everything you need and more, however I had a bit of trouble cleaning out the dry pallet. I also must say this is the best wet pallet paper I have ever ised
