This palette is ideal for water-based paints such as watercolors, acrylics, and gouache. It can also be used with craft paints.
The palette features a total of 10 wells: 3 large wells and 7 small wells.
While the thumb hole is positioned for right-handed use, the kidney shape is generally comfortable for both left and right-handed artists. The placement of wells remains accessible.
The palette measures approximately 340mm by 220mm (34 x 22 cm).
Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. For dried paint, a plastic scraper or brief soaking in water can be used. Avoid harsh abrasives.
Yes, it's very suitable for beginners due to its ease of use, ample mixing space, and simple cleaning.
It is not ideal for oil paints, especially if you use strong solvents for cleaning, as these can potentially damage the plastic over time. For oils, a glass or metal palette is generally recommended.
Soak the affected wells in warm water for a few minutes before attempting to wipe or scrape. For acrylics, a plastic scraper is usually effective.
Ensure your thumb is placed comfortably and securely through the thumb hole. The ergonomic design should provide a stable grip for most hand sizes.
This is normal wear for plastic palettes. To minimize future scratches, avoid using sharp metal tools for scraping and use a soft cloth for cleaning.
Setup: The palette requires no setup. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This palette is compatible with water-based paints such as watercolors, acrylics, gouache, and tempera. It is not recommended for oil paints if prolonged contact with strong solvents is expected, as this may degrade the plastic over time.
Care: Clean the palette immediately after use. Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge to remove excess paint. For dried paint, use a plastic scraper or soak briefly in water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the surface. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
