## Overview

The Masterson Sta-Wet Premier Palette is a professional-grade airtight palette designed to keep water-based paints like acrylics, watercolors, and gouache fresh and workable for days or even weeks. Featuring a large 12x16 inch mixing surface, a patented moisture system with a cellulose sponge and special palette paper, it prevents paint drying and waste. Made in the USA, this palette also supports oil paints by removing the sponge and paper, making it a versatile essential for serious artists seeking efficiency and quality in their creative process.

## Description

No more wasted paint! The Masterson Sta-Wet Premier Palette keeps acrylics and other water-based paints moist on the open palette for hours. Once the lid is closed, the paints will stay wet and in workable condition for days, even weeks. The airtight acrylic palette features a patented sponge insert and special permeable palette paper. Together, they provide acrylics and other water-miscible paints with a constant source of moisture. Moisten the sponge and lay it inside the paint palette tray, then place the palette paper on top. When the lid is open, the paints will have an extended open time. When the lid is snapped shut, the Masterson palette will maintain a moist atmosphere that preserves paints. In addition to its use with water-miscible paints, the Sta-Wet palette can be used as an oil paint palette. For use with oils, simply remove sponge and palette paper and use the covered paint palette to store oil paints (oil palette paper not included). The lid has five prongs that provide structural stability and prevent the lid from contacting any paints stored inside. The workable area for the mixing palette is 12 x16 inches, making it ideal for projects that require maximum palette surface. Each Masterson Palette box contains five sheets of "Sta-Wet" palette paper for acrylic paint, one cellulose sponge, injection molded artist palette tray and lid, and complete instructions for preparation and use. The Masterson Sta-Wet Premier Palette is manufactured in the United States.

Review: Love it, it's so large & keeps the paint fresh - Brilliant, I purchased this earlier on in the year when I was collecting all of my art stuff to restart painting. The size is in the description so I knew what I was getting size wise and I bloody love it, yes it's large, large enough for home or studio use but too big for location use, so I have another one which is smaller for that. It does what it says on the tin it keeps your acrylic paint at a nice moisture for weeks, the top actually seals which is why some find it difficult to remove, so those with arthritic fingers may struggle with this, However, if you fancy it try it first and if you can't get on with it send it back for a full refund, it was a no-brainer for me and I love it so much, it's large, it keeps paint fresh, the top actually seals, the sheets that come with it are reusable once cleaned, but also, look up the instructions of how to prepare the sheets for first time use ;-)
Review: Worth the money! - This was a bit expensive, and I was dubious that it would be worth it. Boy, was I wrong. This is brilliant! First, don't underestimate the size: this thing is BIG. But the space to mix paints, and have general freedom on a serious size of palette? Priceless. And the 'paper' they supply? So much better than what is effectively baking parchment in other wet palettes I've used. The seal is tight, I've painted over a week without any drying issues. Great investment.

## Features

- This Masterson Sta-Wet Premier Palette has everything you need to keep your water-based paints fresh on the open palette. Best used with acrylic, watercolor, gouache, and water-soluble oil paints. Includes an airtight palette, 5 Sta-Wet Acrylic Paper Refill Sheets and 1 Sta-Wet Sponge.
- Masterson Sta-Wet Premier Palette – 12in x 16in x 1.75in. Made in Pennsylvania, USA. No more wasted paint! When closed, the airtight container keeps paints workable for days, even weeks. A custom wet sponge and special permeable palette paper provides the paint with a constant source of moisture. Paints will slowly absorb moisture from the sponge through the paper. Great size for painters wanting to work with a larger palette mixing area.
- Masterson Sta-Wet Acrylic Paper – 30 Sheets. Wet the paper and place on top of the moist sponge. This paper is reusable, strong, and will not easily tear, therefore a palette knife can be used. Both sides of the paper can be used.
- Masterson Sta-Wet Sponge – The cellulose sponge evenly and effectively transfers moisture to the Sta-Wet Acrylic Paper, extending the life of your paints. The cellulose sponge material provides the absorption level required for the Masterson Sta-Wet Palette System and is environmentally friendly.
- Easy to Use – Wet the sponge, wet the palette paper, place in the airtight container, put paints on the palette paper and begin painting. Close the airtight lid and your paint will stay wet, fresh, and workable until your next painting session.
- For oil paints, remove the acrylic palette paper and sponge. Insert your favorite oil paint palette into the tray. The airtight container will slow the oil paint dry time and reduce oxidation. 12in x 16in New Wave Artist Palettes are designed to fit within the Premier Palette.
- Compatible – The Masterson Sta-Wet Handy Palette is compatible with all leading water-based paint brands such as Golden, Liquitex, Windsor & Newton, Apple Barrel, Arteza, Citadel Paint and more.
- Made in Pennsylvania, USA

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between the "masterson artist pallette seal" with the blue lid vs RED lid?**
A: There is no difference between the boxes/palettes other than the color of the lid.  As others point out, the difference is what is also shipped with the palette.  The Red lid comes with the necessary items if you plan on using the palette for acrylics, but it can be used with oils (just don't use the sponge).

**Q: What are the dimensions and what does it come with?  Does it come with the sponge and paper?**
A: i have 2. the yellow one is about 9x12". better for carrying to class. it came w sponge, p. paper, paint cups, thinner cup.   the newer ones are even tighter.  the red one is larger. 16x12x1.75. they don't come w cups (you can get those at restaurants or w take out, but they have palette paper and a much better sponge than old ones, tray and air tight lid. everything to keep paints for weeks. worth every penny.

**Q: Can you use other pallette surfaces with this, for instance paper plates or parchment paper? And just keep in the plastic box? Thank you!**
A: It is a rectangle plastic box with a lid, you can pretty much place whatever you would like in it. I think the dimensions are what appeals to those who use it as a palette box.

**Q: Will my 12x16 Posh glass palette for in there, since they're the same measurements??**
A: I am a full time artist, selling art and teaching art.  I have used a Masterson palette for 20 years and never put anything in it but the sheets of palette paper that fit it.  I do not recommend using it with a glass palette - it really is unnecessary.  The surface of the palette paper is slick on one side - that's the side you put the paint on - and as long as you mist the paint before closing and "burping" the Masterson every time, the paint will last for weeks.  Then, simply change the palette paper!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is big, good for studio use.
*by A***R on 1 March 2024*

The large surface provides plenty of space for paint mixing and the paint stays wet and useable for days. The pallette papers are re-usable. I was initially dissapointed how few papers there were in the kit, but they can be cleaned and re-used more than once ( dont know yet how many timees they can be re-used). My biggest complaint is the top, it is formed of a softer plastic than the base and is intended 'clip' over a ridge around the edge of the base to provide a seal. The problem is it is so tight I had trouble opening and closing it and it was painfull on the hands. ( I am a retired manual worker, my hands are used to hard work, but his lid was difficult) I suppose it may ease with use, but in my view, it is way too tight as delivered.
