The palette is where colour decisions happen before they reach the canvas. The right format depends on how you work: disposable paper palettes keep cleanup minimal and are practical for painters who mix frequently and want a fresh surface each session; stay-wet palettes keep acrylic paint workable for extended periods by maintaining moisture under the lid; porcelain palettes offer a smooth, non-absorbent surface that shows colour accurately and cleans easily; wooden palettes are the traditional choice for oil painting; and plastic palettes with wells suit watercolour and gouache mixing. The selection also includes empty half-pan boxes for building custom watercolour sets and storage palettes for pan pastels. For more tools, visit Painting Accessories and Brushes and Painting Tools.
