A helpful acrylic painting tip submitted by a fellow artist.

You don't have to spend money on one of those "stay wet" paletes. Get a regular white enamel palette (often called butcher's boards). Lay a few layers of wet paper towels in the bottom of it (it has an edge like a shallow baking dish) and then put a sheet of waxed paper or designer's vellum. When you are finished for the day, just lift the waxed paper up a little bit and spray some water on the paper towels. The only danger is, that your paints may start to mold after a few weeks. So don't be disgusting and do change the paper towels every once in a while.
