well_liners_450.jpg I am often asked for help in choosing a palette, so here are some ideas:

1. Determine the well sizes that match the brushes you use. To help we have a sampler of all 6 well liners for $5

2. Determine the amount of colors you expect to need.

3. Choose the palette shape, round or rectangular.

After choosing your well size, this chart may be useful

THREE 15" PALETTES - 85, 42 & 24 WELL



15" -  85 WELL PALETTE

This 15" palette gives the watercolor artists a lot of colors - up to 85. Each well is about 5/8" x 1-1/16" x 5/8" deep and will hold 8 ml (small tube size) or a single half-pan (see note) and accepts brushes up to 1". There's an area just outside the wells to write the name of the color with a fine felt marker. The center has 3 mixing areas separated by a slight raise. Molded from 0.12" thick plastic for durability and a substantial feel. It comes with a removable mixing insert which can be washed separately or kept with its unfinished painting. Also a lid which provides 9 additional mixing areas. Also available for this palette is a carousel to allow it to spin and individual well liners that will give you flexibility with your colors. They will hold half pan size colors and you will find them near the bottom of this page or click here. Gina Armfield has put together a page showing how she made good use of our well liners: http://www.noexcusesart.com/blog/2016/01/i-have-a-secret-im-in-love/

Note: The wells are sized for the Windsor and Newton half pans. However artists have been able to use the following other makes of half pans: Lukas, Sennelier, Daniel Smith and Kremer. Some need a strong push and the palette should be at room temperature. A thorough report comes from Suzi Brown, Mixed media artist and instructor.

Size 15" diameter x 1-3/4"  high.    Made in USA

I have to say the anticipation of receiving this palette was nothing compared to actually getting it in my hands! Love it, especially when all my paints were beautifully lined up inside. The features are fantastic!

Here's to Gina Rossi Armfield for leading me to your site and this fabulous palette!

What I wanted you to see was the labeling method I used. With the use of a Brother P-Touch label machine, I was able to use a very small font to identify each paint color and if I need to add or change anything, the label will peel right off and re-adhere where needed. I've also found water doesn't damage the labels as they're laminated. The adhesion between the plastic of your palette and the label is very secure at the same time allowing removal. Much better than marking directly on the plastic with a Sharpie. I've used Gina's method of removable half pans too. I'm a happy camper.

This idea thanks to Linda Colvin. She wrote:

"I put 90 pound watercolor paper, trimmed to letter size, in the printer, and printed out the template. I will write the color name/ number below the chart, so I will be able to see what each color will look like applied to paper as a reference when I paint."

Here is the result, her template numbered with Sennelier colors and her palette - thanks Linda. I have now added .pdf links to download each palette's template.

15" - 24  SLOPING WELL  PALETTE

This palette was produced at the request of an Australian artist and instructor, Louise De Masi. She writes "I’ve been using the palette today and I absolutely love it. It’s perfect for my needs. I filled it full of my favourite colours and I’ve been using it with my latest painting.
I normally use those little ceramic sloping well palettes that don’t have a lip or ridge on the wells like your palette does. What I normally do is put the paint at the top of the well or the highest point of the well and then I give the paint a squirt of water and the water falls to the bottom of the well. I like to do that because the paint that I squirt out goes hard after a little while and that’s when I like to paint with it. I can use the watery paint at the bottom of the well or I can wipe a wet brush over the hard paint at the top to get dark pigment".

ONE 18" PALETTE - 64 WELL



18" - 64 WELL  PALETTE

Your response to the 42-well palette was rewarding and surprise ... we got requests from some watercolor artists for even more large color wells. We heard you and here it is! It has 64 large 1-1/8" x 1-3/4" x 1" deep paint wells. Molded from 0.12" thick plastic for durability and a substantial feel. The set includes a tight fitting lid divided into 9 mixing areas. Also included is a removable mixing insert which can be  washed separately or kept with an unfinished painting and a fresh clean insert used to begin again. Extra inserts are sold in packs of three. Also there's a carousel that fits this palette - see below. The two brushes are only pictured to show the palette's relative size - that's a 1" flat and a #4 round. Also available for this palette are individual well liners that will give you flexibility with your colors. You will find them near the bottom of this page or click here

A note should be added here, this is a very BIG palette. I have exchanged several for artists who didn't realize just how big it is.

THREE 12" PALETTES - 12, 19 & 36 WELL

The idea for this palette came from Pam Carriker a mixed media artist, instructor and author who wrote "I've been searching for a color wheel palette that has twelve wells for each color on the color wheel and three mixing wells in the center to add white, black and gray for mixing the tint, tone and shades of each color".

There's more about Pam at pamcarriker.com

The wells of this palette are shallow and suitable for acrylics as well as watercolors. The center has 3 mixing areas separated by a slight raise.

PL12ML_450.jpg (225601 bytes) 12 LARGE WELL  PALETTE


This palette has 12 large color wells 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" x 3/4" deep. These can be used with brushes up to 3". It was designed at the request of Vala Richmond who wrote:

I live on a boat with limited storage, and must completely put away my watercolor supplies every time I use them. Since I like to lay down multiple washes in a painting, this has been a challenge! I’ve tried several solutions, and none of them have worked to my satisfaction. Making washes in smaller mixing pallets means I don’t have room to make enough at once, and it’s easy to spill. I have tried butcher block pans but must waste any leftover as I have no way to store big pans without spilling. It has been so very frustrating.

Robax has created the perfect solution! This new 12 well mixing pallet is both small and easily portable, but has mixing inserts big enough to stir up a decent amount of wash. If I have any leftover, I can cover the whole thing and put the remains away – I just keep it level and the inserts are deep enough to prevent spills. If I don’t get back to it before the water dries out, I can just add a bit more water and paint and keep on going. The individual pans also let me easily clean out just one color or add new colors, without spilling or messing up other colors already mixed. I can also pull one pan out to be closer to my paper, then put that pan back when I’m done.

I’m tickled pink with this new pallet! I keep my colors in the Robax 85 well pallet. I love the little color inserts as I can easily re-arrange my colors whenever I add new ones – I just write the names and pigment information on the side with a sharpie. I also have the 41 well insert which I store in the center of my big pallet. Since the 41 well insert has its own cover, it’s very easy to take it out and fill it with just the colors I want to take to a class. Now I can take my new 12 well mixing pallet along as well and have the perfect setup – Robax has got me covered!

There is room for taping paper sizes up to 9" x 12" both horizontally and vertically.

Here is a useful idea from June Arias who wrote:

"I love the Paletteboard and made some modifications I would like to share. I mostly use pan watercolors and to accommodate my pans to your Paletteboard, I purchased Loctite Fun-Tak and cut the enclosed strips into little squares and inserted them into the top slots of the paletteboard. The Fun-Tak will not dry out and holds the pans in place and above the wash. You can literally hold the Paletteboard upside down and the pans stay in place. See the pictures!!! Regards, June"

 


paletpad 69

As above but sized for convenience. With the colors dried and the paletpad put in a zip-lock bag, it can go in a pack. Features a cypress stand with optional brush holder. With 9 color wells and room for taping up to 6" x 9" paper.

This is an exciting palette that with a waterbrush offers an instantly ready way to paint anytime, very simple for plein air. The wood base doubles as a handle.

"This is a great surface for drawing on, using for transferring drawings, watercolors, watercolor pencil, and colored pencil. It is perfect to use at a desk, because you need a good surface so that you don't pick up woodgrain, etc. from your desk or table when doing CP. My old early 80s drafting table has many nick in the surface for example and you cannot draw on it. Other drawing boards are too big or small, or way too heavy. This one is portable, you can prop it up at any angle with anything to paint on. It beats gatorboard since it is much more sturdy, waterproof, and does not bend or break easily. It is better than plexiglass because it is thicker, and has nice rounded corners, which is great when you do want to use it on your lap while watching TV or something".

Here is a useful tip from Sherry Grainger:

"I want to let you know that I am loving the drawing boards.  I paint wet into wet watercolors usually without taping down the paper and the wet paper adheres fabulously to the smooth side of your boards."

This picture of the 41-well palette being used as an insert with our 64-well palette came from Susan Alverson who wrote:

"I just wanted to show you how the new 41-well insert looks in my 64-well palette. I love it! The smaller wells are perfect for the paints I don’t use as often. It took me a while to transfer all the paint from the original 64 wells into the new well liners I bought for both the insert and palette, but it was worth the effort! Now I can easily change out colors or adjust the arrangement simply by switching the liners. Thank you for making such a great product and for answering all my pre-purchase questions!"

WELL LINERS

 

"They have done it again! Made something that is really a valuable addition to the already wonderful Robax 85-color palette that I have, making it even more versatile and customizable. These inserts are custom formed to fit perfectly into each unfilled well. What's so fabulous is that now one can move the colors around to a different location on the palette, as well as remove a color that you might not use or like anymore, without wasting any paint. Also, a surprising plus is that because they have a small "lip" on them, when inserted into the palette wells, the colors don't drift into the colors next to them easily.
This will help keep your colors less contaminated, especially our yellow's. I love them and they are an excellent price, too. Thanks Robert for listening to our suggestions and meeting our needs with this great new & practical addition to your product line!"

Thanks to Linda Colvin for these two pictures. Here is her 64-well palette filled with the liners and color.

She wrote "You can use whatever paint you like! The palette inserts made it so much less stressful to fill, knowing mistakes are not set in stone! I can get rid of bad colors, add new colors, or re-arrange! And I totally love the 12 pan inserts!"

Her center insert is our PL05 Color Well Insert.

ARTIST'S BRUSH TRAYS 

These trays were added to our line at the request of Rosemary, an artist who knew that the best way to store her brushes is horizontally. These trays hold all her brushes in a small space and still allows access to any brush. She would take one tray from the stack to hold her working brushes for a particular painting and have even easier access to those brushes.

Rosemary writes:

"Another thing I like about them is that I can lay them in the trays according to the type of brush, without worrying about whether the long handled ones will fit in the same tray. I can store the different sizes together. That feature alone beats trying to find what I want in a mason jar or bucket full of brushes! And I can store other things on it as well, like my pencils, markers, ink pens that I use for ink and wash paintings, and X-acto knives etc".
