Review on 🎨 Richeson 696026 Wooden Rectangular Palette, 12 x 16 inches by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good palette. It is necessary to treat with a protective layer of linseed oil.

Looks like a good palette. It is made of wood veneer over a light colored core. I can't tell what the main material is. It looks like plywood. I work with linseed oil. I have a layer on both sides and also work on the edges. Since it's made of plywood, it's probably not a good idea to use a lot of solvent to clean it, as the solvent will dissolve the glue. It takes months for flaxseed oil to fully solidify. Until then, cleaning with solvents is probably not a good idea. I'll scrape the paint off of him before the paint dries too much. Let's see how it behaves over time.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
