Keeping Your Acrylic Paint Wet =
by: Barbara Austin

I place a samll very wet sponge on my palette of paint and then spay the paint and cover it tight with foil so no air can leak in and the paint stays moist for several weeks.

Another idea

Using cyran wrap helps too. Cut out pieces slightly larger then the paint you want to save and place it gently over the paint. Run your finger over the cyran wrap around the perimeter of the paint to seal out the air.

Today I tried the same trick with a sandwich bag since I don't have any cyran wrap and it works just as well.

pallette for acrylics
by: wanda

I use the tops of coffee or ice cream plastic lids
and then i buy the cheapest coffee filters, they are round and fit quite well, i have used different sized lids as a cover when i leave my paints. i will tape them on this way i can stack them in a plastic ice cream container which also has a lid and a handle when on the move ala prima
when i use the coffee lids this works quite well stacked in the ice cream container and i can lable them i will set up my paints by greys,earth tones, and whatever greens i want to use etc for the painting..i will also use a cheap sponge and round off the bottom corners to fit the lid in a crescent shape so i can use it to wipe my brushes and keep the points controled. oh yes the only thing i have to cut is the parchment paper as a membrane over the coffee filters. same primes as paper towels but less time consuming
