Review on Optimized Plastic Watercolor Palette: Rectangular Design with 3 Brush Slots by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Watercolor palette

Fast delivery, nothing damaged or broken First impression: very cheap plastic. It has a latch that it snaps to, but it's not airtight when closed. You can see it's not airtight, and gaps are visible when it's closed, so you'll need to make sure the paint is dry before you close it (I plan to put mine in a zipped bag for storage ) I love the size of the palette and lots of room to blend and it's great, the indentations are large and fit brushes up to a size 18-20, I wouldn't use any larger ones. I won't be using brush holes, but you'll need fairly small 0-12 brushes that might work. I've already applied all my colors, one more fall, but maybe it doesn't matter much, there's no place to mark your colors inside or out, I think you can from below. I'd like to know what color I'm dipping into. The thumb hole is also good, good size. Overall I give 4 stars because I don't need much to make me happy. I think the pros would give 2 stars and everyone else would give 3 stars but look at the cost if it works it works. I'd rather spend more money on my brushes and paper than on a palette (for travel). I would give 3 1/2 stars if I could. Update: I used this palette for about 4 paintings (watercolor). Now that I've used it I can say I love the palette, if i were to buy it again i would just go for a different size, although it is a good size open, i had to buy it in a closed store. Instead of. But overall a good size, large mixing areas. I would advise using wax paper before closing if you fill your colors to the top like I do. I drew 4 pictures and after that I had to fill them with 10-12 size paper. Holds color well. Oh, and it didn't roll on me when mixed, washes are smooth. So it doesn't have to be rotated. 4 stars. Still not sealed to use wax paper before closing if you fill your colors to the top like I did. I drew 4 pictures and after that I had to fill them with 10-12 size paper. Holds color well.
