MEEDENWatercolor Palette with Lid: 33 Wells Airtight Folding Paint Palette with Large Mixing Tray - Empty Acrylic Painting Art Pallet 12.5''x 6.5'' Grey

I read the reviews before I bought. Not all of them were good. I am going to dispute those who had negative comments.This tray has served me well.It contains a larger removable tray for mixing paints that can be washed easily.Plenty of cups for various colors. So many I choose to use some of them for mixing.The one criticism in the reviews was that it isn’t air tight. These people have no experience with watercolor. First, an experienced watercolorist will know with any tray one must spray the colors before starting. This seals more tightly than many, and fits neatly in a large bag. I suggest being carried flat, like any tray.Having been trained in painting in college, and have used watercolor for 5 years, I highly recommend this tray. It has served my needs well.

I like the fact that I can work on projects and save my ink for the next day and it won't dry out. I also like the fact that it folds for easy storage. There is plenty of space for mixing multiple colors.

I needed a palette with many wells. Not many have 33 wells as this one does, and this is by far the least expensive of those bigger palettes. It's sturdy and looks great. It doesn't leak per se, but if I close it up and transport it before all the paint in all the wells has dried, I have to keep it upright and level or liquid paint from one well will slosh into other wells. I like this one so much I'm considering getting a second one for my other colors.

This is awesome. It is a great quality plastic with a smooth finish and is well made. The wells are easy to access and when I spray down the paints they stay nice and juicy because the angle is perfect. The removable mixing palette comes out easily and snaps securely back into place. The latch closes firmly with a satisfying grip. Unless you fill this up with water and try to carry it around, it keeps the paints from leaking. I bought a blue one, then a yellow one, and am doing everything in my power to rationalize buying more.If you like to pack up your paints and bring them on trips for safe and secure transport, get this palette. It if you just like having nice things. This is a gem.

I have not had an opportunity to try this case while traveling, to test the deal fully, but it is a perfect size for my needs.

I prefer to work with a limited number of watercolors so this palette offers plenty of space for creating washes and mixing colors. It's a convenient size and closes tight.

I just started using this palette . I’m a beginner and I don’t want to spend a lot of money at this point. I like that there are so many sections because I did order a paint set that had quite a few colors. The first palette I ordered Was heavy because it was ceramic and it did not have a lid, Both issues being a problem when transferring it from one location to another. I am also happy with the removable tray that I used to blend colors. When I left my class, the mixing tray was not yet dry so I simply closed my pallet and left the tray out to dry as I drove home. It seem to work for me.

This is easy to use, keeps paint in usable condition & ready to go. I bought this for use with Daniel Smith Primateks & iridescents - paints that don’t work well from a dried out cake. This palette has kept them in great condition. It’s huge, but well worth the space.

Let me start by saying this is NOT a travel friendly palette. It’s huge ! Very sturdy and worth every penny. I wish I had bought this instead of a few others I purchased in the past. Amazing piece for your studio/home setup.(I’ve posted a picture comparing its size to a travel tin palette).Best part is that the wells are big enough to fit a size 16/20 brush, so no brush damage !My only complaint is that I wish I had chosen a different colour. The Grey is super dull, so I’m gonna paint over it.Update : I’ve been using this for about a month now. each well perfectly fits a full 5 ml tube of watercolour. The mixing areas do stain a little but it’s not too bad. Would still recommend it.

This works a treat… no more dried up wasted paint anymore. Keeps paints moist so you can use next time that you open the tin. I’m thrilled with this as a lot of paint is not cheap. This is a great buy; it’s well made, deep enough for the paints, easy to clean, practical and looks good. Highly recommend.

Esta no es una paleta de viaje. Es muy grande con 33 pozos grandes y profundos. Me gusta mucho. La caja se cierra bien y fácilmente. Lo tomé en rojo y lo veo de inmediato.

Tavolozza in plastica ma di buona fattura, spessa e resistente, davvero spaziosa e leggera. Resta da testare la durata nel tempo.

There are quite a few different kinds of these welled "leakproof" "travel" palettes on Amazon. None of them are particularly suitable for travel due to their enormous size, and numerous videos prove they aren't leakproof either. If that's what you're looking for, you'll need to go up a price bracket into the known brand name, professional quality accessories, but it's not the best idea for wet media anyway as humidity promotes mold growth.I bought the purple version of this box. It's definitely more lilac than purple in person, which is fine as I'm rather fond of lilac, but it would have been nice to know in advance that the pictures are useless. The outside of the lid is a smooth soft touch plastic and very enjoyable. Inside is a very distinct cream, not white as displayed in the images, but I have found this to be the case with all of these palettes with removeable trays. The only truly white ones seem to be the all in one molded ones. You may struggle to make accurate mixes in this palette with watercolours due to this. The wells themselves are a fine size, about equal to 1.5 full pans, and easily accessed with larger brushes so you're less likely to damage them. They are oriented far more suitably than the Paul Rubens wells, but you could switch the trays and have this one in the Paul Rubens box if you would prefer as they are the same size. The plastic for the trays is fairly low quality as you would expect and there are some strange inaccuracies in the sheets, different levels of polish and texture. I don't know that this would impact use, but it's something to be aware of. It's going to stain pretty quickly due to the nature of plastic anyway so the imperfections would soon be covered if the look of them would bother you.Thankfully none of the downfalls of this overpriced palette are of much concern to me as I pop out the removeable trays and use the boxes for pan storage, held in place with a little bit of Blu Tac, and then just switch them out as and when I want to keep them in the palette I'm using. I own far too much watercolour paint, it is an excellent problem to have. I can usually fit 74 full pans in the bottom of these kinds of boxes but this one is different. There are two raised edges running along the length of the inside of the box, separating the bottom space into three equally sized sections. There are no other raised edges like this and given that they're hidden underneath the well tray, I suspect it's not to make abnormally shaped mixing areas and is likely to help keep the tray in place instead. This makes storing pans slightly more difficult in this box compared to some of the others (Paul Rubens and Manci have completely flat bottoms beneath the well tray), offering enough space for 60 full pans, broken up into sets of 20 and with large gaps between them. I suppose I could use this to make 3 separate palettes within one box for different subjects rather than having 3 smaller tins on my desk. It's debatable whether this is more or less practical. The top tray does stay in place when closing the box though, which is something the other brands have thus far been unable to manage.I've added some images to show how I lay out the full pans if my explanation was confusing. They're white, so you can also clearly see that the palette itself is not. Like with anything you could spend your money on, it really depends on what you plan to do with the thing once you have it. For me, there are worse things I've spent my money on, but I'm not rushing to grab another one either. If they got rid of the raised edges in the bottom of the box, though, I'd likely get a few more in different colours. The matte, soft touch finish is really quite lovely and I wish more brands would adopt it over the sparkly gloss finish that scuffs and scratches so easily.
