Advantages

How to use

Place the palette on a stable surface or hold it in one hand while painting to mix and access colors conveniently. Squeeze or apply paint onto the surface and blend directly with brushes or palette knives. After use, remove excess paint while still wet with a cloth or scraper; for dried residues, follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for safe removal. Ensure the palette is fully clean and dry before storing or transporting.

Usage recommendations

For oil painting, use small amounts of solvent and a dedicated scraper to avoid long-term residue build-up. For acrylics and water-based media, clean promptly after each session to maintain the smooth mixing surface. Store flat or upright in a protected place to prevent warping or surface damage.
