Not a great option in my review

Buy something better for your paints. Paints bead up and do not stick to the palette. Very flimsy and does not shut well at all. Really-save your money on this one and buy something better. This is not worth it.

Pros
  • Useful, good quality for the price. I wish it was a little bit bigger.
Cons
  • The palette box may have a chemical smell that is unpleasant

Super cheap and flimsy

Oof. Well, I bought this at the recommendation of a watercolor artist on youtube, but I wish I hadn't. It's exceptionally flimsy, doesn't snap shut, and when it arrived the hinges we misaligned. While I was able to fix the hinge problem, this is still wayyyy cheaper than expected, and I wouldn't trust it to travel with it. I think it will be fine for sitting open on a table, though it does wobble a bit when fully open. Very disappointed, this is basically junk.

Pros
  • Just as described
Cons
  • The liner brush may not be comfortable to hold or use for extended periods of time

Just perfect! - my new review

This the best palette for the price. Its very convenient to use with watercolor or goauche paint. What I loved about it is, it does not form blobs of paint while mixing. It is my current fav palette.

Pros
  • Na
Cons
  • The size and shape of the palette box may not fit comfortably in some artists' hands

Not for water color

Don’t waste you money or your water color paint on this. Water color doesn’t dry well on it. As you can see from pic, when watercolor drys it flakes off and becomes useless. I’ll try my acrylic paint on it and see how that works. But I’m sorry I bought this!

Pros
  • Bought this for my then-girlfriend for her hobby. No complains, no regrets.
Cons
  • The color mixing wells may be difficult to access or use for artists with larger brushes

Okay purchase good for me

This product was okay. I could probably get better storage for less money but I am not upset with my purchase. The color mixing wells may be too shallow for artists who prefer thicker paint.

Pros
  • Excellent option , very affordable and study . Versatile option for multiple pallet needs .
Cons
  • The color mixing wells may be too shallow for artists who prefer thicker paint

Don't Waste Your Money

I needed a palette box with a lid for an oil painting class. When this product arrived, I noticed that it was impossible to properly shut the lid because it was so poorly manufactured. I took it to my class any way and there learned that water-based oil paints don't mix well on the surface. The oily part of the paint separates from the pigment. Paint is wasted because it thickens and dries up due to the poor seal. Cleanup is frustrating. Expect stains. I am not asking for a refund because I…

Pros
  • Plastic, Acrylic
Cons
  • The color mixing wells may not be large enough for artists who work with a lot of paint at once

Great, handy palette

After experimenting for 2 years, this palette turns out to be my favorite. It’s weightless, has the slanted wells I love and room for plenty of colors. Plus room to mix colors. It’s perfect, ticks all of the boxes for me. Very user friendly.

Pros
  • Transon Art Materials
Cons
  • The palette box may not be stackable or easy to store in small spaces

Need to buff to not get droplet effect

I had to use a rough nail buffer to be able to get the water to not to make tiny droplets and instead create larger puddles to see the water/pigment ratio. Initially tried toothpaste, didn’t work so don’t recommend that. While the nail buffer did get the desired effect, it does leave the palette stained a bit, which doesn’t bother me but might for some.

Pros
  • Great price and easier to use than more expensive ones.
Cons
  • The liner brush may be too small for larger paintings or details
