I use a slightly textured cutting board from a discount store. I believe the primer I used on it cost more than the board itself. Works like a charm, highly recommend
I think mine go for $25 which includes postage but you can find others out there a lot cheaper that 30/40. The mdf has enough grit in it to help the process. I have tried Resin and Plastic texture palettes and they do offer different experiences. But sure anything that doesn't absorb the moisture would work. :)
I've been using a glass cutting board as my paint palette and it works great but it doesn't have any texture so I just keep swirling the brush around to remove the excess paint. So far so good. I was thinking of getting one of these and priming it to get a better idea of how colors would look when mixed.
Thanks for this video, it really helps explain the concept. I've seen others also incorporate a dampening pad. Have you experimented with a dampening pad, and if so do you like it?
Yeah a small sponge that’s damp can keep the moisture on the brush and prolong the paint usage. It’s a great tool. I have seen folks purely throw some fine sponge on an area on their wet palette as well which works. All great fun experimenting and see what works to help with painting. Thanks for the comment.
Yes a damning sponge is decent to keep the brush moist if you are doing a ton of work with problonged periods of the paint being on the brush. I tend not to do that though as it’s a paint to wash the brushes out the longer you have paint on the brush.
You don’t have to clean it as the palettes should still have a texture to work on! Eventually the paint may build up but a quick wipe with isopropyl will get the paint off or it may even peel off it you have enough of it.

You can give it a wipe with some isopropyl or just keep using it. I would wait until it’s caked on and then peel it off or give it a clean. As long as you still have a texture you are good though!

Totally! They don’t need to be all fancy and any type of texture works a treat to get the brush ready for your miniatures!
Gah! *slaps forehead* Of course!
Can't you just use any non absorbent surface to do this? Seems a bit excessive to spend 30-40 bucks on a texture palette

Totally! I have seen them primed with black grey and white and they do mimic very well and work nicely!

how do you clean the palette afterwards? do you simply re-prime it?

@@WarpGateStudiosWell, I’m sold!

Do you put primer on the dry palette first, or just straight MDF?
I have primed one half black and one half white before and it’s fine. You can also do it without priming. Whatever takes your fancy.
This is SoppingCactus94! Love the vid
Thank you! :)
👍👍👍
Cheers!
Interesting. Do you clean your dry brush after using?
Yes sir!
Do you clean the texture pallet or just re use it? thanks

Total junk don't waste your money. I've been painting for many years and never needed this or anything like it.
Your intro sounded like a bomb going off but your video audio is quiet af.
Thanks for the input! I hope to of adjusted it since! Thanks though for letting me know
is that a3 or a4 size?
This is about 8x10” which is closer to the A4 size
