Prima Round Palette Tray, Clear Plastic, 5 Wells

Prima Round Palette Tray, Clear Plastic, 5 Wells.

A palette is where the actual colour mixing happens — wells to hold each colour separate, and open area to blend them without contaminating what is still in the pot.

Work from the wells outward: a little colour into the mixing area, thinned and adjusted there, never back into the well. White plastic shows a mixed colour honestly; clear plastic lets you hold it over the paper to check the value before you commit it.

• Separate wells keep colours clean, open area for mixing
• Never return mixed colour to the well
• Rinse before gouache or acrylic dries — dried acrylic will not come off
