Keep your colours within reach while painting with this Daler-Rowney Simply wooden palette. Its open mixing surface is suitable for oil and acrylic paint, with room to arrange separate colours and mix intermediate shades.
What you receive
You receive one wooden painting palette measuring approximately 30 × 40 cm. The rounded shape has an indentation at the edge and a thumb hole for holding it in one hand. Paints, brushes and palette knives are sold separately. The size is useful when working with several colours at once; allow for its footprint on a small worktable.
Organising and mixing colours
Place small amounts of paint around the outer edge and leave the centre free for mixtures. Add a new colour gradually with a brush or the flat side of a palette knife. Clean your tool between mixtures to limit unwanted colour transfer. Check the mixture on your painting surface too: a shade can look different against wood than against white paper or canvas. With acrylics, mix only what you need during the session; this is not a wet palette for keeping paint wet over long periods.
Care after painting
Remove excess paint after use and clean according to the paint’s instructions. For residue that is still water-soluble, use a lightly damp cloth and dry the wood afterwards. Do not soak the palette or scrape a sharp point into the wood. Store it dry and flat, ready for your next session.
