How do you keep acrylic paints moist so that you can paint over a long period?

you can use a pallete with a lid or you can simpl use saran wrap over your container. you have to be sure that you keep the paint moist periodically. just spray it with a little bit of water every now and then and it will stay good for quite some time :DHow do you keep acrylic paints moist so that you can paint over a long period?
also if you meant on palette, there are sealed containers, with foam sponge, and palette paper, with lid for when not in use,

..How do you keep acrylic paints moist so that you can paint over a long period?
The secret is to prevent air getting to the surface of the paint...palettes with lids help but nothing is better than a piece of Saran wrap pressed down over the paint ...you might spritz it first. try this idea
There is a clear gel called ';Medium';, much like the varnish technique. I always used plastic handle brushes and throw them into a flat pan / tray of water until I'm ready to clean up.
a simply damp paper towel over your palette will work.
