Still painting dark forests~

#TraditionalArt#Gouache#Painting#LandscapeArt#Forest#Nature #mosstodon

A photo of an open sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by branches, hag stones, palo santo, and leaves for decoration. The left side of the sketchbook spread shows two gouache paintings, the top (and larger) one featuring a misty conifer forest with mossy ground and bright white back lighting. The bottom one shows pale blue light filtering through a dark conifer forest. The right side also features two gouache paintings; the top one of a very misty, monochrome conifer forest, and the bottom one of a dark conifer forest with mossy ground and pale sunlight coming in from the left.

Hello fellow #painting folks. I am seeking advice. I have a pile of acryla gouache that I want to use, but my attempts at making a DIY wet palette have made the experience of using acrylics miserable, especially compared to water color and gouache. Maybe it's just my lack of experience, but I really dislike what I've done in the past (basically wax paper sitting on top of a bed of wet paper towels).

I've looked at commercial solutions, but they all seem to be some proprietary system of "buy our initial kit, and then continue to buy refills until you die or we discontinue the product" and I kind of hate that.

So, my question is: What do you use for a wet palette? What do you like about your solution? What do you not like about your solution?

Thanks!
