MEEDEN Ceramic Watercolor Paint Palette: 8-Well Artist Mixing Tray 7x7 | Square white porcelain paint tray palette for watercolor, acrylic, oil, gouache & tempera painting

I have used the metal palettes, acrylic palettes, and individual bowls. I like this ceramic palette dish the best. It has plenty of sections for paints, the sections are large enough to move and mix colors, plus you can even have a dedicated water section (although I'd have to change mine too often). It's well made, cleans easily, and serves perfectly for mixing, pouring and dabbing colors. This one's a keeper!

Nice and heavy ceramic paint tray. It stays put on the table when dabbing and mixing paint - you don't have to hold it with your free hand like those light plastic trays. I like that it has different sized tubs - 4 small and 4 larger is good for working with different colors. I was worried about it getting broken in shipping, but it is packed and surrounded in a heavy foam material. Cleaning is easy - the glazed surface allows paints to peel off, if you let them dry out. Since the top is flat, I use a sheet of plastic to cover the tray when away for short periods of time so the paints don't dry out.

I have started using watercolors and gouache in my work, a palette was very much needed. Several are made of synthetic polymers, but I prefer something more sturdy, and natural materials are always better than plastic. When I found out there were ceramic palettes I started researching and found this one. I will describe the elements that I find important: 1. Packaging - As a ceramic product you do not want it to break in transit. I was delighted with the packaging. The box is made of thick cardboard, it feels sturdy, it is colorful and well-designed (if you care for that, I do). Easy to open. Inside the palette is well protected by styrofoam. 2. Size, Weight, and Design - For working in my studio this one is excellent, at a 7" x7" size and 8 wells with 2 different sizes, this palette was perfect for my needs, considering I am a beginner. This palette is sitting on my work table and I am not moving it around too much. With 1.26 lb (almost 600 gr) and on the thick side, it will not be knocked or flipped easily, which I love. It stays in place. This is not a palette you hold in your hand for too long. It is not a bright white color, but a nice creamy white. It is ceramic and as such has a nice natural feel to it and cleans easily. 3. Durability - The palette is of great quality. It is really sturdy, this is not for traveling unless you are planning to set up shop somewhere. If you are going for a hike and having an impromptu watercolor moment, I would recommend a smaller one, which have not found yet (at least ceramic ones). I think that unless I drop it with force on a hard floor this palette will last a very long time. And all of this for $14.95 is a great deal Summary: Great quality, great price, excellent for studio work, not recommended for traveling. As it suits my needs 100% I give it 5 stars.

I started learning watercolor painting a couple months ago and I hated mixing colors until I finally tried a ceramic palette. It makes such a difference! The water actually sits instead of balling up. Ceramic is obviously a lot heavier than plastic or metal but it’s so worth it. It also washes off beautifully. I love that this palette has a couple different size wells and has 8 spots. Definitely would recommend this to anyone doing water color or gouache painting.

I’ve been a watercolor for over 10 years. I have taught classes in the last few years. I have tried different pallets with different squares. Some of them. I liked some of them I didn’t. But this one is amazing, the size of the squares worked perfectly for the amount of paint I need to mix up for a composition. The number of squares are really good. And since I carry things back-and-forth to classes, I like the size of this one. Also, of course, the ceramic does not stain.

Good for small to medium sized paintings especially if you are being frugal with your paints. Enough room to mix your pigments and easy to clean. Keep the box it came in for safe storage and transportation.

I sincerely love this palette. I generally work on smaller pieces and this configuration allows me to mix the colors I need in my compact work space and take it with me when traveling. The weight makes it sturdy, the true white allows the watercolor to shine through and the smooth surface is a breeze to clean.

I've been using styrofoam plates and little cups to mix my watercolors before starting to paint and they do suffice until I bought this ceramic palette. Wow, so easy to clean, definitely enough wells for paints and mixing, the size is perfect for my work station, and well worth the money. It's exactly like the description states. As for sturdiness? Well, it is ceramic so I wouldn't want to drop it on a hard floor but definitely rugged enough to handle without walking on eggshells.

The MEEDEN 8-well ceramic paint palette is such an upgrade from plastic ones. The porcelain surface is smooth and easy to clean, so paint doesn’t stain or stick, and colours mix really well against the bright white background. The size is practical, with plenty of room in each well while still being compact enough to fit neatly on a desk. It has a nice weight to it, so it stays put while working, and it feels really sturdy and durable. Overall, it’s a high-quality palette that makes painting feel more professional.

Great palette.

Excellent palette for mixing Watercolour puddles that’s needed when painting large projects. It was well packaged - fast delivery. Recommend.

Great quality, perfect size. I use two for my watercolours and it's much more compact than my last trays. I prefer ceramic to plastic.

Preciosa paleta de mezclas, me va perfecta para pintar con acuarelas en el estudio. Es de cerámica con lo que pesa lo suficiente para que no se mueva y es muy fácil de limpiar. Que tenga dos tamaños de pocillo es muy práctico para adecuar el pocillo a la cantidad de color que necesito. Me encantó el diseño cuadrado y compacto, tiene el tamaño justo para mi. Me parece un buen regalo para cualquier aficionado o profesional de la pintura o ilustración.
