Palettes for Oil Paint
|
Standard Oil Paint Palette: Usually made of unvarnished wood, but sometimes plastic or glass. Apply paint to the edges and mix in the center. Scrape off paint residues after use. |
Professional Wooden Palette with Arm Support: Useful for longer sessions. Apply paint to the edges and mix in the center. Scrape off paint residues after use. |
Tear-Off Palette: Tear off the dirty sheet after use and start with a new one. Available in multiple sizes and brands. |
Glass Palette: Easy to clean and available in various backgrounds (white, gray, or transparent). |
DIY Tip: You can make an oil paint palette from plywood or plexiglass. Cut it to your desired shape and size. Sand the edges to avoid sharpness. Place a colored paper matching your background under the palette to see how your mixed colors will look.
Tip: To store an oil paint palette with paint on it, cover the paint with plastic wrap. This keeps the paint usable for a long time and allows you to transport the palette without making a mess. |
