A helpful acrylic painting tip submitted by a fellow artist.

If I need to set aside my colour palette to do something else quickly, I cover it with wet paper towel or cotton fabric to keep the paint moist. If it's going to be a while before I can resume painting, I cover this with a piece of aluminium foil. This stops the paint from drying out.
Tip from: Rachel Esh.
