Round Palette 17 cm for Watercolour, Gouache and Acrylic
The Phoenix TS-005 round plastic palette, 17 cm in diameter, is a medium size between small palettes that fit in your hand and large oval palettes. The ten wells around the edge are enough for a basic colour wheel, while the large central area is useful for mixing more paint — for example, to wash in a watercolour background.
How it is laid out
- 10 wells around the edge: for pure shades
- 1 large central area: for mixing and thinning
How to use it
For watercolour, paint is usually dropped or squeezed from a tube into the wells and left to dry; when you paint again, simply re-wet it with a damp brush. With acrylic, put only as much paint in the wells as you’ll use, as it dries quickly when exposed to air.
Who it’s for
For watercolour and gouache on A4 and A3 paper, poster paint at school or in art clubs, and acrylic for smaller paintings. The white surface shows shades much as white paper does, so you can see how the colour will look in your painting. Find more tools in the Phoenix collection, and paints in the acrylic paints collection.
