Color Around Aluminum Watercolor Palette (13 Well(10.04"x4.33"x0.75"))

This is a near replica Holbein which is now unobtainable. These palettes are wonderful. Light yet reasonably sturdy. Thumb hole so you can paint outdoors with them. The paint somehow mixes and remains on the metal much better than on plastic or ceramic palettes. I now have 5 of them in different sizes. I think the original Holbeins were sturdier but 3 times this price. So buy 3 !!! I was amazed at how much easier it is to mix paints on metal. A revelation. Marvellous

This isn't the most robust, leak-proof palette but for my needs it's absolutely perfect. It's made from lightweight enamelled aluminium which isn't airtight when closed, so paint does dry. But that's easily revived by spraying with water before use. When closed, it's very compact and easy to store.My palette has 20 wells which is more than enough for me but you can get others in the range which have more wells. Plenty of space for mixing colours, though if you have a need for big washes, you may need an extra mixing palette.

Arrived in decent condition, for the money I am very pleased with it.I imagine that the quality does not match the Holbein equivalent product but that is 4 times the price of this tin.It appears to be fit for purpose and my example does close and stay shut.The hinge fit is a bit gappy in places but it will perform well for the tube watercolour paints I have bought to use with it.Being a bit of a skinflint I generally begrudge paying super high prices for the very top quality products so look to purchase the bargain items like this palette which do the same job but at a much more wallet friendly price.

Perfect for Plein air.

A little disappointed with the thin gauge , seems a bit on the thin side ,only time will tell if it holds together , otherwise it is a nice pallet.The inside has enamel mixing area and nice size wells . Looking forward to putting it to task with my Winsor and Newton water colours.

I have several of these aluminium palettes, they are great for watercolours from the tube and I find the white enamel is great for mixing your colours on and so easy to clean off. I find it very useful, especially with a lid to keep the paints clean or to use as a large mixing tray

I need a lot of mixing space but it’s compact enough to fit in my bag. Use it for acrylics and gouache. The gouache sometimes pops off but with a dot of water resticks.

Great palette i really like it , good size wells light aluminium construction, it has a wonderful clean construction...It is light but i guess that would only be a possible issue if you have ever owned a heavier brass/ copper one .... as i have , as it happens .For the money you could not possibly criticise any part of it

The product was - contrary to the pictures - delivered in the version with a hole for the thumb in the upper right corner. But that's okay for me. I use this hole for my right thumb (I'm left-handed) and despite the size of the palette and contrary to all expectations, I get on well with it. However, the edge of the hole is a bit awkward when I'm holding the palette, so I cover it with a small piece of cloth.The first time I used the palette, the colour beaded a lot on the mixing surfaces, but a light rub with a drop of scouring agent fixed this. I have been using the palette for more than a week and have not noticed any staining of the white areas so far.By the way, the colour compartments have a small oval cavity, which is advantageous if you want to apply a small amount of colour to the palette first.

Cette palette est parfaite pour moi. Elle est plus grande que les boites à godets, mais pas encombrante au point de ne pas pouvoir la sortir de votre studio. C’est du métal, donc plus agréable (à mon goût) que les palettes en plastiques, sans pour autant être trop lourde.J’en rachèterai très certainement dans l’avenir.

Une excellente palette pour aquarelle très grande et pratique pour opérer des mélanges
