To whoever asks :
When i say “oven paper”, I mean, of course, baking paper, “papier sulfurisé” ou “papier cuisson” in french, “backpapier” in german…
NOT the non-stick or glazed variety, but the porous one, of course, otherwise it would defeat the whole purpose.
The white one is better for seeing the colors properly, but the brown variety functions just as well.

For those in the UK, the one I’ve used for a long time is called baking parchment from Asda.
I also use a plastic food container as my palette, the ones that have an airtight lid, I find if you put the lid on and keep it cool, the paint lasts even longer, if you put it in the fridge its even better.
But I get trouble off the wife if I do that.
Thanks for the video. Great tip while wearing a great shirt. What more could you want?
Been doind this since I asked you Roamin. Brilliant. I left mine in my dinning room for three days and the paint was still wet. Although the heating is now on so don’t think it”ll work any more.
“Dont eat off the plate” had to be put in the video because I bet someone in the studio did exactly that.
Well some of the game colour range smells a bit minty, maybe someone thought a green ink was Crème De Menthe..
I won’t tell…
Technically, it’s a warning directed at the younger crowd (we know there are children watching)… Although I must admit I’m less concerned for the hygiene of well taught children than the cleanliness of some adult gamers I know…
For the better is so true. Ever since I started doing this a few months back I have painted a a much higher level just because I’m no longer using thick coats of paint but thin coats as the wet palette affords you the time to do this.
Thank’s for the great tip BoW-Romain! I don’t actually use a plate for my painting . Instead I have a fancy porcelain pallet thing with holes or indents for paint to sit in as you’re painting / mixing but I will get my self an old plate (not my mum’s finest and most special ones for when the queen or Fidel Castro comes to tea, but the really old ones we used to eat off of back in the 1980’s that the cats used to eat off of. it’ll probably help me with my paint not drying on the pallet… Read more »
I have tried thinning paint but never tried a wet pallet yet I will when,if I get my paint table up and ready? again
nice simple solution (hopefully)? @elromanozo
Thank you! So simple but unless you’re shown… Worth a month backstage alone.
Cheers/Salute Romain
I’m actually using a small sandwich box, so I can close the lid.
This will help me with preserving some of my mixed colours until such time I’m actually done with the colour.
Small warning however:
Change it every once so often. Stale water does not have that good of a reputation.
