I think finding a good cellulose sponge is key. My sandwich case is quite a bit smaller than this, which is fine as I paint about once annually, I found a white sponge that more accurately renders the colour of the paint I'm mixing; and because my palette is smaller, I don't have any folds to work around.

Ooh behind the curtain, nice video and the sponge in particular looks great

Found this really useful, seeing you put together your palette, thanks Stu! Happy enough with my palette but will give the paper a try as I'm not impressed with the stuff I have.

Best part of this vid: covering water level. I’ve never been able to figure that part out.

What brand name paper did you wind up using? Thank you

I'm currently using a wet palette based on the original Redgrass case, paper towel for a sponge and parchment paper for the sheet. I rinse the parchment paper after use and like to swap them between minis, so about 5 sessions on average. I only paint for an hour and I've never been able to keep my paints in the palette overnight. For one, a single session will fill my palette as I mix, and two, the paint absorbs way too much water from the palette. I wonder what yours looks like the next day - perhaps you just work with wetter paint than me.

I have the redgrass palette, but nothing ever keeps over night. all the paints tend to separate.

It'll be criminal if we don't get you to 10K

I know you're UK based, but when you put in Amazon links could you also include North American ones? I tried searching for the Spunj, and never found it. I guess I didn't scroll thru enough pages?
