Aluminum Watercolor Palette 13 Well (10.0" x 4.3" x 0.8")

I wanted (And bought) the 30 well and upon pulling it from the shipping box my first thought was WOW! That's.......big! Bigger than expected. That said it's a very nice palette which I intend to use as a table palette at home (Though you could certainly use it for traveling and en plein air, but it is rather big). Construction, fit, and finish is very nice. No dents, warping, chips, scratches or closing issues. Paint smooth and even. To correct the beading issue some have reported (Like with plastic palettes) I recommend first cleaning it well with soap and water and then using toothpaste (A mild polishing compound) and water and lightly scrub the mixing areas & wells with a toothbrush. Maybe add some baking soda to the toothpaste/water mix. I do this to all my new palettes. I am very pleased with this, a nice under $20.00 metal palette. Recommended.

I haven’t used it yet, but it seems like a very nice palette. The wells are a perfect for the size brushes I’ll be using. The enamel evenly covers the metal on the front and back and along all the wells to keep it from rusting and and the paints from leaking. The wells are slightly slanted so your wet paint will stay more towards the back. There is NO thumb hole on the model I received. See the 5 pictures for measurements and closeups including one showing how 2 different brushes fit into the wells. The blue brush is a Cotman 3/8” and the black brush is a Silver Black Velvet 1/2”. Very happy with the purchase.

I would have. Given this five stars but many of us artists are left handed and this is a right handed palette. In order to. Use the. Thumb hold, the wells are backward and when pulling paint off the palette you have to insert the brush like a right handed person would and it means that we have to flip the palette around backward with our. Thumb in the hole. I. Was disappointed in this. Make a left handed option! For gosh sakes. Otherwise the palette is very nice. Some are saying it is. Flimsy but this is becaus e aluminum is so. Light weight compared to steel. The whole purpose is to. Have a portable field palette that is lighter. It is very well made and has held up well to my use in the months I've had it. I take it when I travel and have had no dents dings or any other issues with the palette itself. Only that it is right handed. I had a bit of beading up while mixing but it quickly. Wore off and I no longer have the problem. I do have some staining on my palette but tend to mix the same colors in the same areas so I don't worry about it. The greens and blues leave a faint stain. No big deal.

I normally like palettes where I can move my paints, meaning I like using pans. I just like the ability to create a new palette whenever I feel like it without having to remove the paint. However, the pans and the added metal plates to help make the pans stay in place just got heavy and super unnecessary. Over time I kind of ended up sticking with a certain set of colors and decided to just try this palette out since it was small enough to fit in my unbalance backpack. Thankfully, I am super happy that I did. The palette is sturdy and super light weight. It is slightly heavier than Altoids mint tin that I have with 18 colors in it! I like the metal on this palette it feels very sturdy and I doubt it would bend or dent in my backpack. The palette also has two mixing wells and if you do not put your brushes in the long well you can use it for more mixing space! Lets just say I am VERY happy I decided to get this. I have not filled all the wells for my paints (since I have a small palette) but if i do get new paints it can easily be added. The only downside, at least for me, is if I ever wanted to rearrange the color I would either have to remove the paint (which is a waste) or use it up but that usually takes a long time, but it looks to me I will most likely keep my color palette anyway so it is not a big problem for me. I highly recommend this palette if you are looking for a sturdy, light weight, and clean looking palette. If you are the type of person that prefers pans over tubed wells then maybe this product is not right for you. Although I still recommend trying it, it is an amazing product.

Tried twice with this and each time it arrived so bent that I either couldn't open it or couldn't close it. Defects were not due to Amazon packaging. Finally ordered different product.

Perfect. I needed a larger pallet and was looking for one that would take the watercolor in the mixing area without separating and this works perfectly. It stays secure but is not an issue to open. The Aluminum allows you to label the color with waterproof ink making it easier to mix/determine the colors for painting. A great value for the money

It’s a beautiful palette, good quality. It’s a bit large, so function wise, I see it mainly for studio use. It could work for traveling, but it’s somewhat big for that, although it’s not very heavy. I’m also a bit worried the liquid might leak if you don’t let the watercolor dry first (I haven’t tested it yet). What I absolutely love are the large wells for mixing and the metal surface, which has a finish that prevents beading—something watercolor artists really appreciate. However, I didn’t like that the palette arrived with scratches on the exterior. It also has 15 wells on each side (which is great!) and they’re large enough for bigger brushes. What I don’t like about these palettes: – You can’t easily change out the colors (if you prefer that versatility, look for a palette with half pans).

Light weight, great for watercolor and gouache! Probably good for acrylics and oils too but have not tried it yet. Pros - it's large plenty of mixing space. Lightweight, compact and travels well. The paint does not bead up like plastic palettes! Cons - It stains a little but does not bother me, can come clean with a little bleach. It does not lie fully flat, perhaps with more use it will. Not magnetic but you can glue magnets to it. A few improvements for me to create one that holds full pans or have no paint slots and take out the thumb hole.

Oggetto arrivato nei tempi previsti, molto carino, sembra abbastanza resistente, magari un po piccolo ma devo ancora usarlo, penso che sia utile

Buon prodotto, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Spedizione in tempi celeri.

今までプラスチック製のものを使っていたのですが、絵の具の色でパレットにシミが残ってしまい どうしてもテンションが下がりぎみになってしまうので、思い切って買いました。 プラと比べても気になる重さではありませんでした。金属（アルミ）に塗装したパレット特有のちょっとガタピシしたところは不満というより ちょっとノスタルジックな気分が味わえます。この真っ白い仕切りの中にいろんな色の絵の具のチューブを絞るのはなんとも言えないですね。

Buon prodotto, dopo doversi mesi di utilizzo posso confermare che è resistente e di facile pulizia. Chiude bene, ovviamente colori e tavolozza devono essere asciutti per non gocciolare fuori, d'altronde non ha chiusura ermetica. Io lo uso con i godet interi, che ho fermato con biadesivo e la profondità mi consente di chiudere bene la custodia (da 30) anche così (le 'fasce' di posizionamento dei colori sono su bordi opposti). Quando l'ho acquistato io costava molto meno del prezzo che vedo attualmente, conviene minitorarne l'andamento.

Muy ligera y práctica, funciona perfectamente para realizar las mezclas y rellenar cambiando los colores si quiero ir probando. Recomiendo, ver foto de la caja pues cada paleta tiene unas medidas diferentes según número de pocillos.
