MEEDEN 8-Well Ceramic Artist Paint Palette, Square Porcelain Watercolor Palette, White Ceramic Mixing Tray for Gouache Painting, Oil Painting, Acrylic Painting & Tempera Painting, 7"× 7"× 0.9"

I have started using watercolors and gouache in my work, a palette was very much needed. Several are made of synthetic polymers, but I prefer something more sturdy, and natural materials are always better than plastic. When I found out there were ceramic palettes I started researching and found this one. I will describe the elements that I find important: 1. Packaging - As a ceramic product you do not want it to break in transit. I was delighted with the packaging. The box is made of thick cardboard, it feels sturdy, it is colorful and well-designed (if you care for that, I do). Easy to open. Inside the palette is well protected by styrofoam. 2. Size, Weight, and Design - For working in my studio this one is excellent, at a 7" x7" size and 8 wells with 2 different sizes, this palette was perfect for my needs, considering I am a beginner. This palette is sitting on my work table and I am not moving it around too much. With 1.26 lb (almost 600 gr) and on the thick side, it will not be knocked or flipped easily, which I love. It stays in place. This is not a palette you hold in your hand for too long. It is not a bright white color, but a nice creamy white. It is ceramic and as such has a nice natural feel to it and cleans easily. 3. Durability - The palette is of great quality. It is really sturdy, this is not for traveling unless you are planning to set up shop somewhere. If you are going for a hike and having an impromptu watercolor moment, I would recommend a smaller one, which have not found yet (at least ceramic ones). I think that unless I drop it with force on a hard floor this palette will last a very long time. And all of this for $14.95 is a great deal Summary: Great quality, great price, excellent for studio work, not recommended for traveling. As it suits my needs 100% I give it 5 stars.

If you've ever had paint refuse to move from your paint brush onto your palette, you were probably using a new plastic palette. This ceramic palette has no such problem, even on day one. Granted, it's a bit heavier to lug about than plastic. In addition, the clean-up is a breeze, with even colors known to stain easily rinsing away. I would recommend for watercolor or gouache color mixing. The spots are generous in size.

This product is the answer. I have a nice, closable plastic palette with a removable mixing tray, that I really like. The problem is that the mixing area is shallow and creating a wash requires a lot of area. I went looking for a tin palette, but all were really small, or even metal trays to use as mixing areas. I came upon this ceramic palette (the eight-compartment version) and bought it. It is a really good product. Well made, solid, smooth ceramic, especially on the bottom where it could scratch a table if it was not well finished. The wells are deep enough to mix a good quantity of paint and keep the mixes separate. It is a great addition to my setup and I would buy it again if it broke.

I have been using plastic mixing trays and palates for my acrylic paint mixing for quite some time. One day when cleaning up and rinsing my water cups (old ceramic mugs), I thought wouldn’t it be nice if they had mixing palates made out of ceramic. What a simple cleanup that would be. I ran some searches and found these. This size was a little larger than I realized it would be, but so great for holding my paints I am using and ample mixing areas. This also works well with water colors. For an “on the go” palate, I would lean towards a smaller round/daisy shaped palate. That will be my next one (soon) for travel to paint club and water color use. The quality of this brand has been top notch for the palate I received, and it was very well packaged to avoid damage. I recommend this for durability and ease of cleanup. Just keep in mind it is still ceramic cans like a mug will chip and break if dropped.

This 8-well mixing pallette from Meeden has helped me level up my paint mixes by giving me dedicated mixing wells (which helps me control things a bit). The ceramic palette is extremely well-built, with pretty thick walls and bass and feet on the bottom of the pallet to help to prevent it from moving around (although honestly the weight of the palate, while not overly heavy, is also enough to hold it in place while painting). I have been absolutely thrilled to add this to my tools in my small home studio.

Weighty with a beautifully smooth porcelain finish, prefect for holding and blending watercolor paints. I like the large individual sections which allow plenty of space for mixing watercolors. No staining even from the most tenacious pigments. Wash up easily with soap and water...but unfortunately it did not survive a fall off the counter onto a tile floor. My bad for not being more careful when stacking dishes. I will be ordering another one. The broken one will be repurposed for Kintsugi experimentation.

Good quality, sturdy, and functional. I like the size of the wells for mixing. So much nicer than plastic paint trays!

This small palette is wonderful! My main palette is a circular ceramic Quiller palette with one large center mixing area, but mixing color can be an issue with mixes mingling in the mixing area. I put this small Meeden palette in the center area and it allows me to make 8 color mixes in wells, allowing me to use (and fully load) 2 and 3 inch brushes comfortably! My Quiller palette has only 1 inch wells, so the larger wells of this Meeden palette is a huge improvement for mixing and brush loading. The wells are sloped on the side, allowing easy brush and tube wiping. The depth of the wells allow for mixing suffient paint to do large washes. Clean up is a breeze - just run water over the palette, then wipe clean with a paper towel or cloth. Finally for so many benefits, this palette is very affordable - A GREAT BUY!!

The MEEDEN 8-well ceramic paint palette is such an upgrade from plastic ones. The porcelain surface is smooth and easy to clean, so paint doesn’t stain or stick, and colours mix really well against the bright white background. The size is practical, with plenty of room in each well while still being compact enough to fit neatly on a desk. It has a nice weight to it, so it stays put while working, and it feels really sturdy and durable. Overall, it’s a high-quality palette that makes painting feel more professional.

Great quality, perfect size. I use two for my watercolours and it's much more compact than my last trays. I prefer ceramic to plastic.

Preciosa paleta de mezclas, me va perfecta para pintar con acuarelas en el estudio. Es de cerámica con lo que pesa lo suficiente para que no se mueva y es muy fácil de limpiar. Que tenga dos tamaños de pocillo es muy práctico para adecuar el pocillo a la cantidad de color que necesito. Me encantó el diseño cuadrado y compacto, tiene el tamaño justo para mi. Me parece un buen regalo para cualquier aficionado o profesional de la pintura o ilustración.

The underside of the center of the palette is slightly more prominent than the corners. Because of this, the "feet" of the palette are not level, which means the palette will wobble if set on a flat surface.

Hab mir diese Mischpalette für Gouache Farben gekauft und finde sie toll. Es ist genug Platz für die Farben, als auch zum Anmischen neuer Farben. Denke mal das sie für alle Wasserfarben geeignet sind. Für Acryl- und Ölfarben finde ich die Kuhlen etwas eng, um die angetrockneten Farben restlos zu entfernen, hab es aber noch nicht probiert.
