1) some kind of foamy stuff.
2) a shallowish plastic container with a lid.
3) Some grease proof paper (called baking paper elsewhere).
You trim the foam to fit into the container, add water and place the baking paper on top, thusly:
Then you press the baking paper down and put dobs of paint on it. It is supposed to keep the paint in a moist and usable state for quite some time. When you take a break you put the lid on and it stays all nice and wet in there.
The report on how it went will come later...
Thanks for the link, I hope it went well. I haven't painted much lately, but I seemed to have trouble keeping the whole thing wet enough. Still it is an improvement over using a plate for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, seems to do the job. The paint gets a bit more watery than I'm used to (surprise surprise!) so I now have to drybrush separately, but over all it's a definite improvement!
