 Hello everybody and welcome to another product review video. This is gonna be the first of these shorter series of product reviews I'm going to do Hopefully you'll see more of these over the coming months. I'll try to slot these in where I can for cool stuff I like Today we're gonna be talking about the exemplar wet palette my favorite wet palette. So let's head over the desk and take a look The strict techno man sir that is Vinci V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vinci V So here we are we've got the exemplar wet palette It's a really nice construction. So overall, I'll just tell you straight up front I quite like this wet palette a lot I think it's one of the better investments you can make if you're gonna get a wet palette It's one I would say to pick up, but let's talk features and benefits and stuff like that The wet palette itself is quite sturdy. It's well made. You can completely lock the thing so it can pick up without issue We need to actually close it and lock it. There we go You know the whole thing. I don't know how much cause there would ever be to actually do that But you can do it just in case you would need to The wet palette itself Really does lock has this little guy on top Wearing you can it has a little dry palette you can put brushes and stuff in there Which is actually rather handy. That is a nice way to transport stuff. So I've used that many times This also does pop out by the way So you can actually transport more stuff or use your dry palette somewhere else you would want to There's even a little spot here where you can put your cell phone again I have not a feature I've used very often, but you can rest your cell phone right there. So hey fun stuff What I like is it has this little Situation up here that you can control how much airflow is getting in and out so you can control the humidity There is a little Thing you can pop in there to close it off completely if you want or have one open or as I do have both open I'm in a very dry environment And so I need to make sure that it actually stays hydrated and doesn't get overly humid inside there The wet palette itself the paper is really nice. I like the way it hydrates the paint The nature of the sponges is such that you can actually double stack The sponges so for example, I have two sponges in here right now So you can see there we go And the reason for that is because again my environment is very dry And so as a result I have two sponges and a lot more standing water inside If you only have one sponge, it's it's lower in there And then you don't have to have as much water creating less humidity of an environment when you actually close the palette And making it so you have to sort of refill the water less I have to refill the water quite a bit. So the palette itself is good. It's durable. It's quality I like the paper that actually matters quite a bit to me. There's nothing wrong with Reynolds Sort of paper and using non wax paper for it, but this actually hydrates really well It seems to let out more or less exactly the right amount of liquid up into the paint The exemplar wet palette is basically 35 dollars To order it from game envy directly, which I think is a pretty reasonable cost for the quality of the product the refill packs which come with additional new sponges and 50 sheets of the paper are 12 bucks. So again, nothing that's gonna break the bank. They're too bad Now do you need this wet palette? No, of course not It's not going to change your life in any significant way. It is still a wet palette and does the same thing as you know, most other wet palettes on the market that is to say if you've got your master's sending you like it or you made something out of You know sponges and some ziploc containers. Hey, no problem It's not like there's something here that is so revolutionary. It's just completely changing the way you paint But if you are in the market for a good durable quality wet palette made of good materials that will last you That has nice features This is it. I mean, I once I got the exemplar. I honestly haven't used anything else and have no desire to use anything else This is more or less everything I want. It sits there. My paint will stay workable Again, it depends on the you know individual paint some are more hydrophilic than others And so we'll kind of get worthless when I paint stays workable certainly all day You know, I'll be sitting here painting for 10 12 16 18 hours And I my paint stays completely workable where I'd want it even in a very dry environment So good paper good One thing about the sponges is they are anti microbial So I've never had any problem with mold and if there's anything that would make you upgrade to a nicer wet palette over Something like a traditional Masterson. It's the quality of the sponge here. The sponges are really nice Never had any problem with in any way. It's smelling funky or anything growing in there or anything gross like that It just works and keeps all the bad stuff out Which I very much appreciate because I don't want a stinky wet palette Nobody does So there you go. That's the exemplar all in all pretty straightforward Like I said 35 bucks for the wet palette. I'll include the link down below. This isn't sponsored or anything This is just my palette that I own So, you know, they didn't give it to me for free or anything like that I have used this more hours than I can count over the past many months And I think it's a worthwhile purchase.
