Vallejo brush work

May I add that wet palettes are more useful for figure painting as you would be mixing six or more gradual shades for blending and it keeps the acrylics moist longer before application. Other vessels I use for my single colours vary from plastic bottle tops, Pringle plastic tops, Jam bottle caps, McD ketchup dishes...anything that doesn't leak or absorb as Ron says.

I totally agree; lids from yoghourt, chocolate box liners etc, etc --- I'm a recent convert to wet palettes but anything else 'will do'!

. I get along quite happily with any 'vessel' that doesn't leak water.

Ha, I used bottle caps, perfect for small amounts.

I too use bottle caps but find painting difficult after a few bottles of Tribute or Speckled Hen... the painting skills of a new born giraffe spring to mind!
