20 Well Watercolor Paint Tray Palette Pallet Acrylic Painting Mixing Plastic Artist Large Square Palette, 13 x 10 Inches, White, 1PCS

I first got this product for a class; it’s now my favorite watercolor palette!If you have watercolor tube paint, it is easy to squeeze some into the circular wells and let it dry–to paint more traditionally. Depending on how much you fill the slots, you can get a serious amount of paint in, so you might need a little patience to fully dry. The inside wells are large, so it’s easy to mix colors, and I use the large circle wells for specialty colors like rose and burnt sienna (as I used all the other wells). I typically have red, yellow, green, and blue in warm and cool tones, so the eight wells are enough (plus the 4), but if you need more than that, you might want the smaller hexagonal pans you see around.It is a large pallet, which I enjoy, but it may be better for some. Typically, I use around 9×12 sketchbooks, which fit right in with my equipment and are portable enough with backpacks or shoulder bags. However, as a warning, they are not tiny. Regarding the material and price, I find this plastic pallet very sturdy, which is a huge plus! For plein air, it was also substantial enough not to blow away. I have broken one of these pallets, but that was on me as I stepped on it, and with the low price, it was not bad at all to replace.With this pallet, watercolor is easy to clean! When you are done with your colors, just take a wet paper towel or rag and wipe it down. You can also let them dry and rewet them later with a spray nozzle or paintbrush to keep the colors. There is no lid, so keep that in mind. Sometimes, I would bring a gallon plastic bag, a bad piece of paper, or saran wrap when traveling to place on top to make sure I did not stain anything else in my bag, but if you wipe it up/let the top layer dry, you should be fine, and it is easy enough to work around. I was traveling around with it for a couple of weeks, so that is probably more unique, and if you are keeping it in your house, you will be fine. Actually, some people used the plastic packaging, and it came in as a slight protector to any paper that might want to soak it up, so that’s a small hack if you are on the go with this! It will fit perfectly over, but it could be more sturdy, so be careful when reinserting it.I would rebuy this product (and I have)!
