No rambling, no crazy intro, no overly drawn out backstory, just the clean delivery of information. I really appreciate that. Maybe sometime I'd like to hear how you got into the hobby, but I really appreciate how informative and straight to the point your videos are. I have liked and subscribed to your channel.

I found that making your parchment paper slightly smaller than the container lets it grow as it becomes damp whithout pressing against the sides. That reduces the papers tendency to wrinkle at the edges and makes it easier to get a smooth surface.

Your lack of waffle is very refreshing. Great DIY tips, much appreciated.

I've been using a Redgrass palette for a year, and it's made a world of difference. Without a lie, paint can last up to 2 weeks on it. It's an impressive bit of kit.

I've just watched your video on thinning paint and now I'm halfway through this one. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these concepts so thoroughly and clearly!

I would love to see a video on brush control. As someone with shaky hands I often get paint where I don't want it. Some better techniques for brush control seem like a good way to get better.

I'm an older chap who's about to get back into miniature painting after a 25 year hiatus, and this has completely demystified wet palette theory, construction, and usage. Nice one mate!

Excellent painting tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to explain the what, how, and why for shades and washes. I understand the process so much better now.

Just found your videos as I start to get into painting minis again. just what I needed. straight to the point, no long introduction, lot's of useful tips and tricks. Thanks for the content!

Was recently catching up on some of Duncan Rhodes tutorials and saw what he was capable of with a wet palette. Bought one not long after and it has changed my life. Citadel paints dry within a couple minutes on a normal palette, even with water added and now I don't have to stress out about it. I'm also pretty much convinced that Duncan left GW just so that he could stop using exclusively Citadel branded stuff and a wet palette.

Thank you so much for sharing this DIY. I’m about to paint some miniatures for the first time and this makes me excited to try for the next batch I work on.

Love these videos showing the basics of painting that a lot of channels seem to take for granted. Starting to use a wet palette was a major boost for my painting as well. I started off with kitchen towel and baking parchment in a sandwich box as well and I'm still using it after several years. The only change I've made is to use a dish washing sponge instead of paper towel - still very cheap but seems to be more consistent and last longer.

When I started this hobby 3 years ago I watched so many videos on wet blending and other advanced techniques when all I wanted was for someone to teach me the absolute basics. Thanks! This is exactly what I need. I've subbed and I look forward to seeing more content.

Thank you for this video - love to see more! Always honing my skills - loved the paint thinning video too. Great stuff! ❤️👍

THIS was one of the best videos on how to actually use one of these types of palettes, and I'm extremely glad you mentioned the thing about it not being a palette meant for saving paints for days on end. When I started to use one of these I would often get replies that it was the 8th world wonder where you could leave your mixes on for weeks and then just pop back like nothing happened and just add a little water. I was going insane because my experience was that after a day or two the paints were split into sunders and I thought I was doing something wrong, since everyone told me it could save my paints for weeks. It's not some magical wonder that saves paints for eternity and newcomers need to know that. It is however something that helps you tremendously and gives you time to work with the paint, so you dont have to rush before it dries out.

Thanks for this video and for how clearly everything was explained and demonstrated. I have begun to research wet pallettes lately since I felt I wanted to take my mini painting up a notch, and this video has helped a lot!

Thank you, your videos are very helpful for beginer like me. Your videos help me a lot to get start on this hobbies. Looking for your next videos and thank you again.
