Ceramic Artist Paint Palette, Mixing Porcelain Palette for Watercolor Gouache Acrylic Oil Painting, Rectangle, 18 Wells, 20.3 x 1.9 x 14cm

Sieht richtig niedlich aus und ist trotzdem absolut praktisch. Die Größe der seitlichen Farbmulden entspricht etwa einem halben Näpfchen, die Hinteren sind eher quadratisch. D.h., man kann Tubenfarben benutzen und, wenn gewünscht, auch noch einige halbe Näpfchen unterbringen. Mittlerweile benutze ich die Palette regelmäßig. Das besondere an Porzellanpaletten ist, daß sich selbst starke Staining-Farben wie Preußisch Blau rückstandslos und vollständig entfernen lassen.

This is a handy palette which can be used in the way shown in the main photo, or turned upside down for 12 shallow mixing wells. It's small (around the size of an A5 book), which means the little wells for the source colours are smaller than ideal – about the same size as a traditional watercolour half pan. So not recommended if you like to work with bigger brushes or for large-scale paintings over A4, but great otherwise. I ordered a different, larger Meeden ceramic palette at the same time and this smaller one is noticeably different in colour. It's a creamy/milky shade, very close to the traditional white of quality watercolour paper, which is helpful for judging colour mixes. (The larger one I ordered was a cooler/bluer white.) Overall, this is an excellent value palette if you work on a small scale: it's well made, versatile and a good price. And, as with all ceramic palettes, it's much nicer to use than a plastic palette, as the mixes and washes don't bead up on the surface.

Vraiment très agréable à utiliser, fonctionnelle et d'une esthétique de surcroît irréprochable ! Je l'utilise pour l'aquarelle. Incroyable osmose entre les poils du pinceau et la porcelaine. Les petits puits positionnés de la sorte permettent de conserver les mélanges de manière ordonnée. Ainsi la gradation de nuances souhaitée sur le projet de peinture en cours en est facilitée. Le fait de pouvoir l'utiliser des 2 côtés est tout simplement TOP ! Du coup, je vais en commander une 2e afin d'optimiser mon espace de recherche pour créer mes propres nuances de couleur... Le plateau de mixage est d'une taille très appréciable... De belle facture, ergonomique, discrète, maniable... Je l'adore et la recommande !

I'm an very new artist and I'm learning watercolours and was looking for a decent mixing pallet. This fits the bill. I love how you can put in your colours and there is a large area for mixing. The fact that the edges are lower on the inside towards the mixing area makes it very easy to pull the paint into the mix yet the outer edge stops me splashing it all over my desk. It's big enough for me to use at home, yet small enough to take to my craft club class and not take up too much table space. Very pleased with this item. Not too heavy yet sturdy too. Not having the paints all the way around ( only on three sides) makes it very easy to clean too. Would recommend for any budding artist.

When I ordered it I thought it would be as big as the tin for 12 half pan paints, but it's almost 2x bigger than that! I like it a lot because I have spacious room to mix the paints. It's also handy to have two sides pallete so you can choose which pallete you want to use. It's a good price for such nice pallete!
