Phoenix Rectangular Wooden Palette for Oil and Acrylic Paint
A wooden palette is a traditional tool for oil painters. The Phoenix E5312 has a rectangular shape, a thumb hole and a thickness of 5 mm. Its shape makes good use of the surface: arrange paints in a straight row, with a wide mixing area below. It is suitable for oil and acrylic paints, whether you work at an easel or at a table.
Which size should you choose?
- 20 × 30 cm: lightweight, for smaller formats and painting outdoors
- 25 × 30 cm: a versatile size for easel work
- 30 × 40 cm: for larger paintings and a wide range of shades
Caring for the wood
Before using a new palette with oil paint, it is common to treat the wood with linseed oil so it does not absorb paint and is easier to clean. After use, wipe off oil paint with a cloth and solvent; wash acrylic paint off with water before it dries. Do not leave the palette soaking in water.
