Drybrushing Texture Palette / Wet Palette
Vložit

- Recently dry brushing texture palettes seem to be gaining popularity so I decided to try making one so I could try it out. My miniature painting space is limited so I need a compact texture dry brush palette. After checking reddit I found that some people had success using their Army Painter wet palette lid. I didn't want to use the lid but my brush holding area was available so I decided to use that.
This is a really easy build. I finished it in 1 day. Well, 2 if you count waiting for some PVA glue to dry. Now I'm excited to give it a try in my next painting project.
Thanks for watching. Please write any questions that you may have in the comments section down below. I'd love to hear from anyone who tries this project out.
Best vid on texture palettes! You a guru!
Thanks
Thank you. Started to make one in a cigar box. Found your video looking for tips. About to break out my wet palate and make this now.
Glad to be some help. A cigar box would be a really cool dry palette, too. Great idea.
Great Idea. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks.
Thanks for the tip! Your result is great!
Thank you.
Excellent idea. Never thought about that.
I was thinking of using a plastic bin but didn’t want to clutter up my small painting space. Using this is a big space saver.
Haha, I've thought about doing this every time I open that container. Glad to see it executed!
It was so easy to do. If you are ever bored I would highly recommend this project. It was fun.
Ha! Me and my friend did this when the Red Grass Palette first came out. Because it also fits their glass palette so well, I bought a second palette to exclusively hold the glass palette and the texture palette.
This is a fantastic idea, I have this exact wet palette too :D
It is a smple modification and can be finished in an hour or so. I wuld love to take credit for the idea but I can't because I saw it on reddit. I just wanted to spread the word. Good luck on your project.
Ooooh that was nice 😮
Ill try that for my own! Thanks for the tip!😊
I hope that it works well for you.
@brianshobbyspace3569 are you happy with the size?
@@Gokkee it would be nice if it was larger but, it works fine as it is.
Thank you so much for helping. Subbed
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
great concept!!!!
Thanks, I found the idea on reddit.
Brilliant idea .... Which has saved me a bit of money (I was just about to purchase one of the ARTUS OPUS dry brush texture palettes, so really glad I spotted this video first. Big thank you. 👌👌👍👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. In a previous comment it was mentioned that the way I built this may damage dry brushes. If I were to do this again I would try to use only plastic pieces. I added some sand which might be rough. Just a heads up.
@@brianshobbyspace3569 Just as well you did, I WAS going to use sand and grit that I use for terrain building!!!!! Thanks.
Really nice idea. I have to do something similar with all my leftovers! 😅
Let me recommend using lots of round bits, furry bits, and some angular pieces. I used sand but probably should have left that off.
A very nice video!
Thanks for the kind words.
Friggin excellent idea! I think I’d leave that smaller smooth area flat to put my paint on for mixing and as my base pallet. I currently use a piece of MDF I went crazy on with my Dremel but it’s big and I never use that much of it.
Leaving the smaller area flat is a brilliant idea! Wish I’d have thought of that.
@@brianshobbyspace3569 I watched the video then looked at my current dry pallet and my army painter pallet and realized I never use as much space on the dry pallet as there is in the AP one.
👌👌👌
All that, and you didn't demostrate it? I came here to see it in action!!
Too true, sorry about that. I have a bit of a painting on camera complex. I'm no pro... will try to get an action shot in a future vid. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Milion dollar idea
i feel like if youre using dropper bottles, you dont want to wetpallet your paint, so if you kept that bottom 1/3 where you cut the line out as just an open flat bit for paint mixing, that might even be better! thoughts?
Wow that's an awesome idea. I have actually been sort of kicking myself recently for having no place to mix colors on this thing.
Never heard of a texture pallette but it looks interesting.
Have you noticed a difference between just using paper towels and the pallette?
When dry brushing, you don't really want it erhh... dry because it ends up looking chalky. So when tuning your brush to have just the amount of paint needed, you don't want paper towel or card board to suck up the moisture still in the brush. Using a shallow detailed thinggie to tune your brush before applying it on your model is good practice. Also, have a small lightly hydrated sponge on the side to put a bit of moisture back in the brush during your session helps keeping the brush moist without excess paint. Don't go overboard building up your dry palette with sharp details or you'll end up damaging your brush after a while.
Using a texture palette and a small sponge will keep the drybrushing from getting too dried out and streaky. If I’m going for battle wear and tear then a paper towel is fine but if you want smoother gradients then a little moisture helps. I didn’t demonstrate this because I wanted the video to focus on the texture palette itself.
Duncan Rhodes recently put out a great video explaining dry brushing capes. I highly recommend that video.

Thanks for the explanations.
I will try something similar since I don't tend use dry brushing because of the chalkyness.
Looks great! Have you tested it out yet?
Nope. I've been busy with a mini conversion. I plan on testing this out on that model. Hopefullyit works well. Some people have commented that this may actually be bad for my brushes. I am looking forward to testing it out.
Just out of curiosity, do you live in Japan? Most of the products you showed had Japanese labeling and even you went outside to spray the pallet, it looked like a suburban Japanese parking lot (all that grey stone).
Yup. I live in the Japanese countryside. You have a good eye.
@@brianshobbyspace3569 I live in Nagasaki prefecture... good on ya for showing / showcasing what can be done
@@j-vlog002 Nagasaki is one place I've always wanted to visit. I live up in Tochigi.
Could you use super glue for fixing the parts instead of a hot glue gun?
Yes. super glue would work fine.
This is actually worse for your drybrushing, just a way of adding dust into your paint and wearing your brushes down faster. By the time there's a couple of layers of paint on the parts the effect takes away from your drybrushing more than the desired effect in the first place as said by the king of drybrushing himself Byron
Duly noted. I will keep an eye on my brushes and paint jobs to see if there is any increased wear and tear.
hi. I also saw this- do you know a good idea for an alternative? I'd really like to do this same as this guy- a home made 2-in-1.... what else could we use as a texture for the dry pallete?
@@Rob-fn1kp theres a whole discussion about it on the painting phase with byron, a primered piece of wood seems to be the best solution, something 2d and textured

@@chaosclg cheers buddy. the wood being porous isnt a drama though?
Why not just use the logo on the top of the lid? Not trying to impress anyone.
there isn't nearly enough texture there
That is an option, but, it would be messy looking on my desk. Also, there isn't much texture there.
