The palettes are produced from Melamine, not plastic. They are given a special resin finish which gives a particulary smooth surface. As such, they look, feel and handle like porcelain and are easy to clean, non staining and kind to brushes.
Having deep mixing wells the palette is suitable for watercolour, gouache or thinned acrylics.
Supplied with a clear protective lid and a comprehensive, full color instruction booklet. The lid will keep dust and dirt away from your paint. It will also help to keep them fresh.
The instruction booklet will give comprehensive guidence. However, many artists choose (later) to use our book Getting the most of the Wilcox Palette as it takes them even futher on.
Colours, sealed into the surface, will indicate the appropriate well to use for any mix. The arrow shaped mixing wells take the six principle mixing colours; two reds, two blues and two yellows. These will lead you to a wide range of violets, greens and oranges. Colours that you wish to darken with the complementary are placed into the outermost mixing wells.
