I haven't used a wet palette before, but I'm going to give this a try as soon as I remember to pick up some parchment paper. I have only a few paints, so I'm always finding myself mixing and then not being able to remember the color when I need it again. And paint is expensive, so might as well save as much as possible.
Anyone used one of these before?

I actually did try this after watching this particular video. Your paints will stay usable for weeks in there. However, they do grow mold after a while. I saw another video that said to use a baby wipe instead of a wet paper towel to prevent mold.
I don't think it actually improved my painting as he claims it will. Probably boils down to what you're most comfortable with. Either way, the key is to get your paint to the proper consistency which is wetter than most beginner painter think it should be. So let the wet palette versus dry palette rage on!

The baby wipes have another perk, you can get the ones in the thin airtight container and remove all but one, insert parchment paper and presto, all done in one shot.

I made one similar but used a cheap sponge as the base and wax paper as the surface paper. The reservoir was made from a lunch meat container. Nice find and link added.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have some Fimirs that I'm gonna be layering, and since I'm not sure I'll be able to match the skin tone of the first one I painted, this should allow me to match the next batch without having to paint them all at once. I tend to paint an hour here and 30 mins there, so I'm sure this will save me paint at least.
