I have a little spray bottle that I keep on hand, one of these that used to have glasses cleaner in it, filled with water to spray my gouache down periodically as I'm working. And I keep big amounts of my less expensive gouache in one of these; for as inexpensive as it is it does a really good job of keeping them wet. If you've got any M. Graham gouache, though, I wouldn't recommend keeping it anywhere but in the tube, though. I'm not sure if it's because they use honey alongside gum arabic as the binder, but the black I put into there got moldy and smelled disgusting after a couple of days. I like a lot of their other art supplies but I'm definitely not going to be getting any of their gouache again.
I've been thinking about this lately too. I have two of these that I got for my gouache paints (unfortunately discovering that if I don't paint for a few days, mold will form!):

I wonder if this would work for oils, too. There are other variations on this theme like this one:

My Masterson stay-wet palette is really big. I have been covering it with plastic wrap but this kind of makes a bit of a mess and doesn't do a very good job preserving the puddles since they stick to the wrap. I think I might try using a palette knife to scrape puddles into these boxes.
I'm not sure if the oil would start to skin over after a time. I know you can put these in the freezer to slow down oxidation as well. Does anyone else have experience with this? (I'm going to test it out this week I guess...)
