Advantages

The palette combines a practical range of twelve essential colors that cover common mixing needs and simple gradient work.

• School art classes and student assignments
• Home practice and hobby painting

Key specifications

• Number of colors: 12 pans
• Format: compact plastic palette with removable/covered pans
• Type: watercolor (re-wettable pans)
• Colour range: basic pigments suitable for mixing primary and secondary hues

How to use

Activate individual pans by wetting a brush with clean water and gently loading pigment from the desired pan. Work from diluted washes toward more concentrated strokes as layering progresses. Mix colors on a separate mixing area of the palette or on a mixing tray to achieve intermediate shades. Rinse the brush between color changes to avoid unintended color contamination.

Usage recommendations

Use medium-weight watercolor paper (at least 200 g/m²) for best results. Store the palette closed and dry after use to prolong pan life. For classroom use, provide each student with a small water container and paper towels to keep mixing areas clean and reduce cross-contamination between pans.
