The Jakar Paper Palette - 36 Sheets is designed for artists seeking a convenient and mess-free solution for mixing paints. Its key benefit is providing disposable, wax-coated sheets that eliminate cleanup time. A potential caveat is that the 65gsm paper thickness may not be suitable for extremely heavy paint application without some bleed-through over extended periods. This palette pad offers 36 tear-off sheets, each wax-coated to prevent paint seepage, and includes a thumb hole for comfortable handling. It's suitable for a range of media including oils, acrylics, and watercolors, making it practical for studio, outdoor, or classroom use.

Each Jakar Paper Palette pad contains 36 detachable sheets.
Each sheet measures 229mm x 305mm, which is equivalent to approximately 9.5 inches by 12.5 inches.
Yes, the palette is generally suitable for gouache and tempera paints as they are water-based, similar to watercolors.
The palette is designed for single use per sheet. While you could technically reuse a lightly used sheet, the wax coating and paint saturation make it best suited for disposable use to ensure a clean mixing surface.
The wax coating is primarily for preventing seepage and does not significantly affect the drying time of most paints.
As a disposable product, it generates waste. However, it offers a practical solution for artists that reduces the need for harsh cleaning chemicals.
The thumb hole allows artists to hold the palette securely and comfortably in one hand, freeing up the other hand for brushwork, especially beneficial for mobile or plein air artists.
Ensure you are not applying excessively thick layers of paint for prolonged periods. The wax coating is effective for standard use, but very heavy, wet applications may eventually exceed its barrier capacity.
Use gentle pressure when mixing. While the paper is durable for its purpose, aggressive scraping or mixing with stiff tools can cause it to tear.
If the pad is curled due to humidity or storage, gently press down on the edges or place a light, flat object on top for a short period to help it flatten before use.
Setup: No setup is required. The Jakar Paper Palette is ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This palette is compatible with oil paints, acrylic paints, and watercolors. The wax-coated surface is designed to handle these mediums effectively.
Care: As a disposable product, no ongoing care is needed for the individual sheets. Once a sheet is soiled or no longer needed, it should be responsibly discarded. For storage, keep the pad in a dry place away from excessive moisture to maintain the integrity of the unused sheets.
