Paint and hot weather

[Jacksarge]

I've found a wet palette to be essential. My painting area gets a lot of sun & stuff dries out fast. Other solution would be to paint only in the evening - I can't do that as painting miniatures is my "day job" as well as hobby

Can't comment on the paint because I paint in a space with Central Heat and Air but outdoors around here we've been 36C or above almost everyday for a few weeks - and more to come.  Yeah, paint dries fast here when priming with spray primer outside this time of year - like minutes versus an hour or more.  I guess my version of the problem is an incandescent lamp I use on my paint table as one source of light - it will dry paint a bit fast on my paint holding surface if I leave it directly under the lamp.

Thankfully, so far, we've had decently cool nights to counter the hot days - gets pretty bad when it stays real warm over night.

A wet Palette is the way to go with all painting IMHO, even under the infamous grey British skies. I'm reminded of Ponting's comment during the Ashes 2009, "Do you guys get a summer?". Mixed paint batches last longer which is invaluable if painting in batches.

As for 34 degrees.... I wish!
