Few palettes provide such useable space and ease of use as the Soho Urban Artist Air tight Mixed Media Color Palette. It features two 8x12" palettes; both a color well (the bottom) and mixing palette (Top). The bottom has 23 raised, slanted color wells and a 5x9" color mixing area in the middle. The top has a raised, unobstructed color mixing area and a 5x9" inside area with raised edges for working with fluid colors. The mixed media palette is constructed of ABS plastic, which is solvent resistant for use with oil colors. This allows oil painters to use turpentines and mixing mediums containing solvents without harming the palette and allows for cleaning with solvents. For acrylic colors you can easily clean by just peeling off dried acrylic. Equally welcoming to water colors providing lots of space and the ability to use both small and large water color brushes. Use with Turner Palette Cleaner to keep it looking like new after each use. You may also use for alcohol ink and cleaners without any harm. When closed the it features a special SDF pliable spleen that acts like a gasket to keep the interior airtight. This allows your acrylic colors to stay wet between paint sessions. For longer open time of your acrylics add a small, damp natural sponge to the interior. In addition to this, the palette is freezer safe so you can put it in the freezer to prolong the life of your oil colors between painting sessions. Easy to travel with too. Measuring 13-3/8" x 9.25" x 1.18" when closed. Even if you own other palettes, we are sure you will get great use from this one in the studio or on your next painting adventure. Great for oil colors, acrylic, water colors, and alcohol inks.
