Hi guys, this is Katia here. In this video, I’m testing the Sta-Wet Palette by Masterson’s, designed for acrylics, acrylic gouache, and even traditional gouache. This compact wet palette (about 21 × 17.5 × 2.5 cm) is perfect for illustrators or anyone painting at their desk — it promises to keep your paints fresh and workable for days or even weeks.
In this video, I go through:
- What’s included in the Sta-Wet palette kit
- How to set it up step by step (soaking the paper, preparing the sponge, layering, and adding paints)
- Helpful tips for using and maintaining it — including how to avoid mold and reuse the special palette paper
My 3-day test results to see if the paints really stay wet:
After leaving my paints for three full days, they were still soft and ready to use — even the thinner layers. I just added a bit of water to the sponge and continued painting. It’s a game-changer if you’re tired of wasting dried-up paint.
If you work with acrylics or gouache, this palette can really extend your painting sessions and save a lot of paint in the long run.
Products mentioned:
Masterson Sta-Wet Palette for Acrylics & Gouache
Masterson Sta-Wet Acrylic Palette Paper (Refills)
Materials used:
Acrylic gouache paints
Copper coin (to prevent mold)
