An excellent studio palette for watercolour

"An excellent studio palette for watercolour: Get the big one if you can afford it.

Important advantages are a bright white colour - easier to judge your colour mixes and strengths; non-staining; non-corroding; good deep wells for mixing plenty of fluid colour; easy to clean; lasts forever, (unless like me you take it outdoors and it falls on concrete).

Disadvantages: expensive compared with cheap plastic palettes, but lasts a lot longer and stays white; no large flat area for mixing - the middle of the bigger palette is just OK; nowhere to keep a blob of paint straight from the tube, so you can strengthen the mix. My original 'daisy' had a flat area around each well for that - very useful.

Quite heavy, so stable in the studio, but harder to carry around than plastic or aluminium."
