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 started learning watercolor painting a couple months ago and I hated mixing colors until I finally tried a ceramic palette. It makes such a difference! The water actually sits instead of balling up. Ceramic is obviously a lot heavier than plastic or metal but it’s so worth it. It also washes off beautifully. I love that this palette has a couple different size wells and has 8 spots. Definitely would recommend this to anyone doing water color or gouache painting.

Good for small to medium sized paintings especially if you are being frugal with your paints. Enough room to mix your pigments and easy to clean. Keep the box it came in for safe storage and transportation.

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 dealSummary: Great quality, great price, excellent for studio work, not recommended for traveling. As it suits my needs 100% I give it 5 stars.

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.

Fantastic palette at a reasonable price that washes easily and cleanly. The palette itself does not take up a huge amount of space on my desk but the individual compartments are big enough for some nice washes. Very happy with this ceramic palette.

This ceramic palette is perfect for mixing various pigments to acheive the various tints you'll need for your watercolor paintings. I find the 8 wells to be more than enough. I've used it long enough to know it has not stained even though I left some mixes in it overnight (they dried out... lol) The ceramic glazing is perfectly applied (no bubbles, etc.) It does not rock due to an uneven bottom. Very well madI'm pleased and fully recommend it.

I've been using styrofoam plates and little cups to mix my watercolors before starting to paint and they do suffice until I bought this ceramic palette. Wow, so easy to clean, definitely enough wells for paints and mixing, the size is perfect for my work station, and well worth the money. It's exactly like the description states. As for sturdiness? Well, it is ceramic so I wouldn't want to drop it on a hard floor but definitely rugged enough to handle without walking on eggshells.

I sincerely love this palette. I generally work on smaller pieces and this configuration allows me to mix the colors I need in my compact work space and take it with me when traveling.The weight makes it sturdy, the true white allows the watercolor to shine through and the smooth surface is a breeze to clean.

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 palette.

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.

My first reaction when I pulled it out of the box was the pleasant surprise that it was bigger than I expected. That's always a good thing. Second, was the quality of the make. It is solid, hefty without being heavy. The palette is smooth with no hills and valleys that could cause pooling. The wells are nice and deep which I found was great when mixing my colors and getting the last drops off my brush before cleaning to switch/add more colors. I did two quick (if such a thing is possible in watercolors... sigh... exercise in patience) pictures, both heavy with wet-on-wet to take advantage of the deep wells. The paint dried faster than the paper ;) and revived quickly when moving on to the next step in the adventure. Another bonus to the deep wells, I found that it was really easy to clean one well without fear of loosing or contaminating the others colors/wells I wanted to keep - I've never been able to do that before. Very handy.Would I recommend? In a heart-beat!
