Artist Palettes for Painting and Mixing Colours

An artist palette provides a convenient surface for holding, mixing and preparing colours while painting. Different palette designs are suited to different paints, techniques and ways of working.

At IDEA HOBBY, you can find wooden and plastic paint palettes, disposable palette pads, palettes with compartments or lids and small paint containers. They are suitable for students, beginners, hobby painters and artists.

Wooden Artist Palettes

Wooden paint palettes are a classic choice for artists. The category includes traditional oval designs with a thumb hole, providing a convenient surface for holding and mixing colours while painting.

This type of palette is particularly associated with oil painting, although its exact use depends on the artist's technique and preferences.

Plastic Paint Palettes

Plastic paint palettes are practical and easy to use. Designs with separate wells or compartments help keep colours apart while providing space for mixing different shades.

They are suitable for a variety of water-based artist paints, including watercolors, tempera and acrylics, depending on the painting technique.

The category also includes paint palettes with lids, which provide a convenient way to organise colours while working and during short breaks.

Disposable Palette Pads

Disposable palette pads consist of individual sheets that provide a convenient surface for holding and mixing paint. Once you have finished painting, the used sheet can be removed and the next one is ready to use.

This makes palette pads a practical option when you want to reduce cleaning after painting, whether working at home, in a studio or away from your usual workspace.

Small Paint Containers

The category also includes small paint containers that can be useful for separating, mixing and storing small quantities of colour. They are particularly practical for creative projects that require prepared colours or mixtures.

How to Choose a Paint Palette

The right palette depends primarily on the paints you use and your way of working. A wooden palette is a classic choice for painting, plastic palettes with compartments make it easy to separate and mix colours, while disposable palette pads reduce the need for cleaning after each painting session.
