MEEDEN Ceramic Watercolor Paint Palette: 18-Well Artist Paint Mixing Tray | Art Porcelain Watercolor Paint Palette for Mixing Watercolor Gouache Acrylic Oil Painting, Rectangle 8 by 5-1/2-Inch

I really enjoy using this palette. It has enough room to mix and also enough spots to load with paint. I don't like that they put half sized triangles in the corners instead of sticking with the square theme. I guess for some people they can use these spots to put lesser used colors like white and black, but in my opinion its kind of difficult to load paint on your brush with that tiny little triangle spot. Its too small for most of my brushes. I usually just fill those with water so its a convenient spot to have a little extra bit of clean water. either way I am sure you can get creative and use this palette in a way that is convenient for you. its well made, very affordable, easy to use and easy to clean.

I know I didn't NEED a porcelain palette, I just wanted one. I tried to cheap out with a white plate but it wasn't practical. This is the most perfect little palette. It's a perfect size, I don't paint large paintings typically, good number of wells and plenty of mixing space. The price was right, light enough to hold, heavy enough for the cat not to knock it off the table, though he tried. Love it love it!

Wonderful painting palette. Makes washes and blending very easy. Perfect size for working at your table or your art space. Nice deep paint pockets and large flat area for blending.

Perfect for my novice watercoloring. Impressive upgrade from plastic trays where to paint beads, and environmentally friendly.

I use this palette solely for watercolor pigments, but I flipped it over and am using the underside to mix pigments. The bottom is divided into 12 square compartments, each 1/8” deep, each mixing square measuring about 1-7/8” X 1-7/8” (nearly 2” square per compartment—a good size). I like the flexibility of this palette’s design—I already had another palette with small, slanted slots for unmixed pigments, but what I really needed was a mixing palette. My other palette is plastic, and while it has its good points (it closes, which keeps out dust), I had the usual problem of having to prep it to avoid paint beading. Plus there was barely any room to mix paint. This porcelain palette eliminates the beading problem altogether, has plenty of room to mix, and is heavy enough to remain stable. It doesn’t have a lid, so I cover it lightly with a heavy duty plastic delivery bag to keep pigments from getting dusty. Lastly, it is incredibly easy to clean each compartment. I just dip a scrap of paper towel into some water and wipe out compartments as I need them. Paints come away easily, and this palette doesn’t stain, unlike plastic. I also happen to hate plastic, don’t you?!

Good quality, a bit heavy in a nice way, easy to clean. Wish I had gotten it sooner great price

I love this pallet for working at my desk at home. It is small enough to not take up limited desk space but the large mixing space is great for color mixing and washes. It is just heavy enough I don't have to worry about my cat knocking it over like I do with those metal folding pallets. The 18 wells also meant I could have a wide selection but not to many while I am still getting started with painting. This was an excellent value for the price and I think it will last. The wells are also small enough they dry fairly well and I have not had any issues with staining.

I had been using plastic palettes for years. This is so much better. The mixing surface cleans up so easily, and the wells can hold the paint just like a dry pan, so it saves $$ because I am able to reuse the pigment. It seriously is a game changer. Perfect size too--not too big, not too small.

This is a handy palette which can be used in the way shown in the main photo, or turned upside down for 12 shallow mixing wells. It's small (around the size of an A5 book), which means the little wells for the source colours are smaller than ideal – about the same size as a traditional watercolour half pan. So not recommended if you like to work with bigger brushes or for large-scale paintings over A4, but great otherwise. I ordered a different, larger Meeden ceramic palette at the same time and this smaller one is noticeably different in colour. It's a creamy/milky shade, very close to the traditional white of quality watercolour paper, which is helpful for judging colour mixes. (The larger one I ordered was a cooler/bluer white.) Overall, this is an excellent value palette if you work on a small scale: it's well made, versatile and a good price. And, as with all ceramic palettes, it's much nicer to use than a plastic palette, as the mixes and washes don't bead up on the surface.

Vraiment très agréable à utiliser, fonctionnelle et d'une esthétique de surcroît irréprochable ! Je l'utilise pour l'aquarelle. Incroyable osmose entre les poils du pinceau et la porcelaine. Les petits puits positionnés de la sorte permettent de conserver les mélanges de manière ordonnée. Ainsi la gradation de nuances souhaitée sur le projet de peinture en cours en est facilitée. Le fait de pouvoir l'utiliser des 2 côtés est tout simplement TOP ! Du coup, je vais en commander une 2e afin d'optimiser mon espace de recherche pour créer mes propres nuances de couleur... Le plateau de mixage est d'une taille très appréciable... De belle facture, ergonomique, discrète, maniable... Je l'adore et la recommande !

Quite heavy, stable, good quality - easy to clean, too. Very satisfied!

When I ordered it I thought it would be as big as the tin for 12 half pan paints, but it's almost 2x bigger than that! I like it a lot because I have spacious room to mix the paints. It's also handy to have two sides pallete so you can choose which pallete you want to use. It's a good price for such nice pallete!

Något liten, annars perfekt.
