Top Christmas Gift Ideas for Miniature Painters
A WET PALETTE
Our favorite gift for Christmas is clearly the wet palette. A wet palette is an essential tool for any miniature painter – beginners and pros alike. In short, it keeps your acrylics paint wet and ready to be used. Acrylic paints dry out in a matter of seconds but not on a wet palette. So, the paint won’t dry out ahead of time. As a result, you just have to focus on what’s important. Enjoying your miniature painting session. Since the first success on Kickstarter, Redgrass wet palettes are the most used and recommended.
The Redgrass Painter Lite wet palette is the perfect size wet palette for most miniature painters. The size is just the right amount of surface area for small to medium projects. The wet palette is also small enough to be portable, should you like taking your figures elsewhere to paint. Also, it comes packed with everything you need for 50 painting sessions!
The Redgrass V2 Painter Wet Palette, enhanced with innovative features, is an exceptional gift for miniature painters. Now 20% larger, it offers ample space for paint blending. It is designed to work with the world’s first reusable membrane, ensuring paints stay moist for longer and reducing waste. This membrane, coupled with thicker hydration foam, maintains optimal moisture levels, crucial for keeping paints workable between sessions. Compact (16.5cm x 24 cm) but larger than the Painter Lite, it’s ideal for small to medium workspaces. The tight-sealing case preserves paint quality, even in challenging environments. This palette, perfect for both hobbyists and professionals, significantly elevates the painting experience.
