Wonderful product and my primary-use palette. The seals work amazingly well, especially in the super humid climate in which I live. I’ve had issues with other palettes either drying out too quickly or becoming waterlogged, but the Studio XL v2 hits that perfect balance—it keeps paints fresh for days (and sometimes weeks) without any funky odors or excess moisture build-up. That’s a game-changer for anyone who doesn’t finish a project in one sitting. The amount of working space is fantastic. There’s plenty of room to blend and organize my paints the way I like, which is critical when working on more complex miniatures or testing subtle transitions in color. The palette feels solid and high-quality, with a well-designed lid that snaps on securely without being a hassle to remove. The updated hydration system with the reusable membrane and redesigned foam has worked flawlessly for me so far. No curling, no bubbling—just a smooth, even surface that holds paint without dilution or separation.
