Paint Palettes – Mix, Thin, and Control Your Paints
A good paint palette is one of the most underrated tools in the miniature painting hobby. Whether you prefer a traditional ceramic tile for quick mixes, a wet palette that keeps paints workable for hours, or a disposable palette for convenience, the right palette gives you control over paint consistency, volume, and colour mixing that working directly from the pot simply cannot match.
Loaded Dice stocks a range of paint palettes in our Barry, South Wales shop and online at loadeddice.uk, including wet palettes, traditional mixing palettes, and replacement palette papers. A wet palette in particular is one of the most recommended upgrades for any miniature painter who spends more than a couple of hours at the painting table per week.
Frequently Asked Question
A wet palette uses a damp sponge and special membrane paper to keep paints moist and workable for hours or even days. It prevents paint from drying mid-session, reduces waste, and makes blending and thinning much easier to control.
A simple ceramic tile or disposable paper palette is fine for beginners. A wet palette is highly recommended once you're spending regular time painting, as it significantly reduces paint waste and improves paint consistency.
Soak the sponge in water, place it in the palette tray, lay the membrane paper on top, and wet it lightly. Squeeze paint onto the membrane and it will stay workable for a full session without drying. Store sealed between sessions.
A regular palette is simply a flat surface for mixing colours and thinning paints, which dry within minutes. A wet palette keeps paints moist through capillary action from the damp sponge beneath, giving much longer working time.
