I forgot to add a personal testimonial to the above post.

For a while I painted with straight out of the pot, and I had some fairly nice looking stuff. Stuff I was fairly proud of to put on the table. Then I saw video I linked above and tried using a wet palette. I'd always show my finished stuff off to friends and my wife, and they'd tell me how nice it looked.

After I showed my friend something I did with the wet palette, he made the comment "You know your other stuff was decent, but this one is actually really, really good." So I went from a "Yeah that's nice" or "I like that." to "Wow that's really, really good" or "You've actually become a really good painter" simply by starting to use a wet palette.

This. Wet palettes really do help instantly.
