This Jakar folding palette is designed for artists, particularly watercolourists and students, who need a portable and organized surface for mixing paints. Its primary benefit is its compact, foldable design that protects paints and tools, with 17 wells for ample colour separation. A minor caveat is that the plastic construction, while durable, may be less resistant to heavy solvent use compared to ceramic palettes.

The holders are designed for standard brush widths. Ensure you are not forcing oversized brushes. If loose, consider securing brushes with a rubber band when storing.

Compatibility: This palette is primarily designed for water-based media such as watercolours, gouache, and acrylics. While it can be used for other media, cleaning may be more challenging.
Care: To clean, use a soft cloth or sponge with water. For stubborn dried paint, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic. Ensure the palette is dry before folding and storing to prevent mould or mildew.
