MEEDEN 18-Well Ceramic Artist Paint Palette, Mixing Porcelain Watercolour Palette for Watercolour Gouache Acrylic Oil Painting, Rectangle 8 x 5-1/2 Inch

This is a handy palette which can be used in the way shown in the main photo, or turned upside down for 12 shallow mixing wells. It's small (around the size of an A5 book), which means the little wells for the source colours are smaller than ideal – about the same size as a traditional watercolour half pan. So not recommended if you like to work with bigger brushes or for large-scale paintings over A4, but great otherwise. I ordered a different, larger Meeden ceramic palette at the same time and this smaller one is noticeably different in colour. It's a creamy/milky shade, very close to the traditional white of quality watercolour paper, which is helpful for judging colour mixes. (The larger one I ordered was a cooler/bluer white.) Overall, this is an excellent value palette if you work on a small scale: it's well made, versatile and a good price. And, as with all ceramic palettes, it's much nicer to use than a plastic palette, as the mixes and washes don't bead up on the surface.

Vraiment très agréable à utiliser, fonctionnelle et d'une esthétique de surcroît irréprochable ! Je l'utilise pour l'aquarelle. Incroyable osmose entre les poils du pinceau et la porcelaine. Les petits puits positionnés de la sorte permettent de conserver les mélanges de manière ordonnée. Ainsi la gradation de nuances souhaitée sur le projet de peinture en cours en est facilitée. Le fait de pouvoir l'utiliser des 2 côtés est tout simplement TOP ! Du coup, je vais en commander une 2e afin d'optimiser mon espace de recherche pour créer mes propres nuances de couleur... Le plateau de mixage est d'une taille très appréciable... De belle facture, ergonomique, discrète, maniable... Je l'adore et la recommande !

Preciosa paleta, nada que ver con las de plástico, menuda diferencia por lo menos para acuarela los colores no se “retraen” como con el plástico. Me ha encantado. Ademas es reversible

I really enjoy using this palette. It has enough room to mix and also enough spots to load with paint. I don't like that they put half sized triangles in the corners instead of sticking with the square theme. I guess for some people they can use these spots to put lesser used colors like white and black, but in my opinion its kind of difficult to load paint on your brush with that tiny little triangle spot. Its too small for most of my brushes. I usually just fill those with water so its a convenient spot to have a little extra bit of clean water. either way I am sure you can get creative and use this palette in a way that is convenient for you. its well made, very affordable, easy to use and easy to clean.

Quite heavy, stable, good quality - easy to clean, too. Very satisfied!
