Loading ...Will Kemp: How To Set Up An Acrylic Stay-Wet Palette
Another great informative and educational art video tutorial from professional artist Will Kemp where he explains to you how to set up an acrylic stay-wet palette. They come in two sizes, an A4 and an A3, always go for the A3 as you will always need more room to mix your acrylic paints.

You put the first sheet of paper down and saturate it with enough to be able to drain the excess into a glass (although you should retain a small amount for further natural soaking) before then applying your second sheet making sure all the corners are bedded tight into the corners of the wet palette tray. Once that’s done…voila! You have a stay-wet palette ready for action.

I have studied art for most of my life and would easily say that it was my number one passion. I appreciate everything surrounding art but I gear most of my efforts towards anatomy and the human form. I believe there is nothing more beautiful and rewarding than being creative to produce art which does the human figure justice. I hope you enjoy my portfolio and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. I also travel the world whilst maintaining this website in the hope to broaden my horizons and discover all the different types of art around the globe.
