Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this palette?
It measures 20 x 30 cm with a thumb hole for holding.

How is the rectangle different from the oval palette?
The rectangle gives a larger unbroken mixing area and stacks flat, while the oval follows the traditional shape and sits more naturally in the hand.

Can I use it for acrylics?
Yes. Acrylic peels off once dry, though a light seasoning first makes cleaning easier.

Does it need sealing?
Not to use it. Seasoning with linseed oil stops the wood drinking the oil out of your paint.
