FAQs
What type of paints can I use with this palette?
This palette is ideal for water-based paints such as watercolours, gouache, acrylics, and tempera. It is not suitable for oil paints or solvents.
How do I clean the palette?
Rinse the palette with water immediately after use. For tougher paint residues, use a soft sponge or cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this palette suitable for beginners?
Yes, its simple design, ease of cleaning, and mess-reducing features make it an excellent choice for beginners and students.
Can I store wet paint on this palette?
This palette does not come with a lid, so it is not ideal for storing wet paint for extended periods. It is best used for immediate mixing and application.
What are the dimensions of the palette?
The palette measures approximately 21cm in length, 10.5cm in width, and 1.4cm in height.
Is the plastic durable?
Yes, it is made from high-quality, durable white plastic designed to be stain-resistant and long-lasting with proper care.
Troubleshooting
Paint seems to stain the plastic.
While the white plastic is stain-resistant, deeply pigmented paints may leave slight marks. Thorough cleaning immediately after use with mild soap and water is recommended. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied.
Palette feels unstable during mixing.
Ensure the palette is placed on a flat, level surface. The compact size is optimized for portability, so stability depends on the surface it rests on.
Water or paint is running between wells.
The slantwell design is intended to minimize this, but ensure the palette is not tilted excessively. For very fluid mixes, avoid overfilling the wells.
