MEEDEN Ceramic Watercolor Paint Palette: 7-Well Color Mixing Tray 4.7"x0.6"

Arrived well packaged to prevent damage. Product is great for water color or acrylic painting with much easier cleanup than a plastic tray. I have a different style I have been using for months and decided to get a smaller one as well which is a great size for travel. This is a great value especially when you consider how much easier it is to clean ceramic over plastic. I would recommend these trays to anyone that paints with the prior mentioned mediums.

When I began water painting a few years ago, I tried a metal palette, then a plastic palette. Even a disposable palette. I didn't like any of them. I googled what type of palette tray was best. Water color artists preferred ceramic. So I bought this one and love it! (the paint doesn't separate like it does on metal or plastic.) It cleans easily and doesn't stain like plastic. It's small but adequate for me. But I did order another just like it, for "as needed". . . when I have a larger variety of color going on. I noticed that MEEDEN also sells a packet of 3. So, anyway . . . YES, I love this ceramic palette tray.

I can't have too many of these: each porcelain palette gets a generous squeeze of paint in 2-3 wells, plus something like neutral tint in the middle well (depending on the painting; I might use a buff titanium or PY173 as the "mixer"), and I use the empty wells for mixing. I'll have one or two for the primary colors, a third for "neat" paint (no water), and the messiest phthalos may get their own tray (or two) as well —with tons of kitchen roll under it LOL. I also use a flat Meeden porcelain for paints+mediums (like Aquapasto or oxgall) that I'm not going to keep "active" too long (I like to start the next painting session fresh with the flat porcelain palette mostly cleaned off, maybe 1-2 squeezes of neat paint if there's enough left to matter).

Solid porcelain with 7 wells for paint. Not too deep nor too shallow. Easy to clean and has weight so it won’t move around when mixing colors. Good purchase. Would buy it again

Excellent size for mixing, drop enough not to slosh over. Small enough to not be in the way but heavy enough to be substantial.

Exactly as described and easy to use but after awhile I went back to a flat ceramic plate.

I am an artist who commonly uses acrylic paint. This ceramic mixing dish is perfect for when i want to mix up a substantial amount of a given color and especially when I want a few different shades in substantial amounts. Without a dish like this, one struggles with paint spreading too far on the pallet and it gets more difficult to manage the more the quantity you are mixing. The dish is just about the right size and shape with each area on the dish holding at least an ounce of paint. (Figure two tablespoons). I knocked a star off of the overall review because mine is not perfectly flat on the bottom, so that it rocked/wiggled a little bit if you applied pressure to one certain side of the dish. I speak in past tense because I easily fixed this by placing a small felt pad on the bottom of the dish in the right location to stop the wiggling (A pad like the kind you use for protection of a hardwood floor from furniture feet). Even if I didn’t bother to do that, the dish would still have been totally functional. I am just a perfectionist by nature. Overall very happy with this item. It is easily cleaned and well shaped for its function.

Great quality

Perfect size for small watercolour or acrylic paint use. Easy to clean, doesn't take alot of desk space.

Klein aber fein, lässt sich mühelos reinigen

Wells are too small, i don't even use this.

Ce petit plat en forme de fleur est compacte et se lave tres facilement une fois sa séance de peinture terminé.

陶器なので割れていないか心配しましたが 段ボール箱の中に発泡スチロールで入ってるので大丈夫でした！ とても可愛いのですがサイズに誤差？があるようです。それさえなければ5でした。 気にならない方はよいとおもいます！！ ＊2枚の写真は商品画像の測り方を参考にしました。
