WATERCOLOR PALETTE
I prefer a palette
with a fair amount of room for mixing and a sloping side
on the paint wells. This allows dirty paint to run to the
bottom of the well keeping the fresh paint reasonably
clean. Some people like to empty an entire tube of paint
into each of the wells. I prefer to squeeze out enough
for the painting I'm working on - fresh paint is much
nicer to use.
Avoid letting Gouache invade the watercolor mixing area of your
palette. Limit the gouache to a couple of unused wells or use an old
white china plate or sushi tray to keep your watercolor palette free
of gouache
