Frisk Ceramic Multi-Mixing Palette, Nylon/A, One Size

I like the fact the paint tray is ceramic as it keeps the colours cool and slows down drying. It has compartments for mixing so it’s great.

I had been wanting a ceramic palette for ages, but the only ones I could find was the really large ones, and as lovely as they are I am not a full time painter and didn't want anything so big and heavy as it would sometimes need to be packed away. A larger one I think would be more for the everyday painter that kept everything as-is. This Palette has everything that the larger one has - only smaller, and it's perfect. It has indentations where you can rest your brushes, and 7 fairly deep mixing holes and one large mixing space in the middle. I'm thinking that when I am not using all of the holes, I can use one of them for my clean water, then sponge that out at the end of my session. it's really lovely. It's slightly smaller than A4 in size and quite weighty so won't move around. Some people are saying it's rough on the bottom and yes it is, but every piece of ceramic I own is rough on the bottom, so I always ensure it has something underneath it. I am also thinking you could glue some felt on the bottom, but I personally don't care too much because I have never put anything down on my table without a mat of some kind underneath it, so it really isn't a problem for me. On some photos I have seen it looks quite dark, but I can assure you it is pure white. I will try to add photographs later.

I bought this because I needed a new palette for using with gouache. I discovered my studio watercolour palette wasn't suitable as gouache seems to need deeper wells to allow for more vigorous mixing. This palette works excellently as it is roomy, solid and heavy enough to stay put whilst in use. The divisions are high-sided and deep enough to hold a lot of paint and I think it will also be useful as a watercolour palette. Being ceramic it doesn't bead up or stain (unlike plastic) and cleans up in a trice.Like all ceramics,this palette will doubtless chip or break if roughly handled, so I sponge it out in situ. It is also far too heavy to be transported easily, so is definitely more suitable for studio use. The rough, unglazed base might scuff a polished surface. ( I lay out my kit on non-slip rubber matting which prevents this and also helps keep stuff from hurling itself to the floor).The brush rests indented into the edge are extremely useful, especially those set slant-wise at the corners, which allow you to perch such items as pipettes, mixing brushes and palette knives across them where they are easily accessible but don't block access to the wells. (This is important for me with gouache, as accurately measuring out a couple of drops of water seems essential. The paint goes from too stiff to too runny so easily and using an old or cheap brush for mixing preserves the point on my good brushes.)This is an excellent large, deep,capacious palette that is well designed and easy to use and I am delighted with it. Recommended.

I love this palette, it's a good size, it's solid and feels like well made quality ceramic.There's plenty of mixing space and it's not too big or too heavy to move around your work surface.

This was a Christmas present for my Wife, "the artist". She is very pleased with it. Apparently it is just right for using at art class and on the move. We can recommend this item.

Sturdy nearly 2lbs doesn’t move,deep wells for washes,brush holder also,pure white porcelain finish,don’t usually write reviews,but this deserves one,fantastic value,and thankyou.

Great design and well made ceramic studio pallet.

This is big, heavy and thick. A little bigger than what I imagined, but replaces my other palettes and holds brushes in the groves.
