Watercolor Palettes

Just add water and start painting with a watercolor palette. These convenient sets are a great way to get all the colors you need in a palette that’s ready to use. Unlike watercolor paints in tubes, you don’t need to pick and choose which colors you need. All your colors are readily available to you and all you need is to add water to the little pans to activate them. If you like mixing custom colors and tones though, you can still do this by using the lid of the palette. While your palette is open, use the underside of the lid to mix the colors. These are a great option if you’re an artist on-the-go or are just starting with this medium. This will help you learn to control the flow of the medium and how much water you should add to get the color you need. When you’re finished working you can simply close the lid and allow the pans to dry. As soon as you want to start working again, just activate the pans again with a bit of water.

What is a watercolor palette? A watercolor palette is comprised of pans of watercolor (sometimes referred to as cakes) placed in a plastic container that keeps them together. They refer to this as a palette because all your paints are in one place and are ready-to-use when you start painting.  

How do I set up a watercolor palette? There should be little to no set-up needed for a watercolor palette because all your colors will be neatly laid out in front of you. You will need to activate the colors with a bit of water first before using them though. One way you can set up a palette is if the palette has interchangable pans, in which then, you can place the pans in the best order for you.

When you need to mix a custom tone, mix your colors right on the lid of your palette. If you happen to transfer colors in your palette, simply use some clean water and a clean brush to clean off the pigment from the pan.
