Troubleshooting

Paint stains the white surface

Wipe immediately after use. For stubborn stains, try a gentle art-supply cleaner or a diluted solution of baking soda and water, scrubbing lightly with a soft cloth.

Palette slides around during use

Place the palette on a non-slip mat, a damp cloth, or secure it with artist's tape to your work surface.

Paint dries too quickly in wells

Work in smaller batches, use mediums that extend drying time (like acrylic retarders), or mist the palette lightly with water if using watercolors or gouache.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides 10 wells for excellent color organization and mixing.
  • The white surface ensures accurate color blending.
  • Durable and easy-to-clean plastic construction.
  • Lightweight and portable for use anywhere.
  • Suitable for a variety of paint types.

Cons

  • Lightweight design may shift on surfaces during intensive mixing.
  • Plastic material can potentially stain over time with certain pigments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This palette requires no assembly. Simply place it on a stable, flat surface or hold it comfortably in your hand. Add your desired paints to the wells or the central mixing area.

Compatibility:

  • Paints: Compatible with watercolors, gouache, acrylics, tempera, and other water-based craft paints.
  • Surfaces: Can be used on any flat surface, though a non-slip mat is recommended for stability.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe away excess paint immediately with a damp cloth or sponge. For dried acrylics or stubborn pigments, use a brush cleaner or a soft brush with a bit of water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, as they can scratch the plastic surface.
