I made a stay-wet pallet for painting the landscape, when I travel, by putting the grids from two smaller containers in the bottom of a shallow square container. I cut wettex sponges to fit over this grid, and then I covered these sponges with wet strength paper towels with part of the paper towel going under the grid to the base of the container. When in use I will have a shallow layer of water under the grid, I will have the wettex sponges damp, the paper towel will remain damp and the paint goes on top of the wet strength paper towel. The air tight lid will then hold the moisture in and any unused acrylic paint left over from a day’s painting session should stay wet until the next painting occasion.
