Great palette!
Lots of space to mix paint & make a large puddle for painting washes. It is a studio palette not a travel palette for me because of the size. The lid is good because it keeps paint clean. Worth the money!

Perfect Palette!
This palette has large paint wells and plenty of area in the center for mixing colors. Excellent when mixing colors to produce colors rich pigment, washes, and glazes. The cover can also be used to mix paints. I’m very happy with this purchase and the plastic material the palette is made from is sturdy and should last for many years.

Depends on where your head's at, mate
As I get a little more adept at watercolor, I find myself wanting more room to mix my colors and a broader range of colors to choose from - of course, if I ever become actually competent at watercolor I could swing the other way and go for a minimalist palette or go back to the three basic colors. Such are the vagaries of the human condition. But, in my current state of thinking, this is what I wanted whether I actually needed it or not. It's sturdy. It has a cover which is a plus if you don't want the cat walking through your watercolors after you've given up for the day. It has a large mixing area and a great many wells for all those colors you may or may not need. Bottom line: I'm happy with it - today. LOL

Many wells, great size
Lower barriers to wells toward mixing area makes blending colors easier

okay but overpriced
the lid and tray aren't very well designed, once you put on the lid, it's hard to get off.for what it is it's horribly overpriced. and slightly flimsy.

50 Years Of Use
I bought my first John Pike palette in the early 1970s, and have used it since then. Unfortunately, in January of 2021, it was becoming a little too stained and difficult to clean, so I splurged and bought a new one, which will easily outlast me. I simply would not use any other palette for working in watercolors. And we’re not talking about 50 years of occasional use. I worked as a designer in theatre and special events during that time, taught classes, and painted landscapes continually. The palette has been with me through graduate school and working professionally, across the USA and back, and now into retirement. This is the best palette for watercolors there is, in my opinion.

Very nice size, stains
The mixing area is great. Adequate number of cubies for paint. Difficult to rough up surface even with comet. Stains quickly.
