Four steps with a wooden palette.

This is how a wooden palette is commonly used in the studio.

1
Prepare the surface
Before using a new wooden palette with oil paint, it is common to coat it with linseed oil and leave it to dry. The wood will then not absorb paint.

Squeeze out the paints in a row along the edge, from light to dark. Leave the centre clear for mixing.
3
Mix with a knife
Mix paints with a painting knife or brush. Hold the palette with your thumb through the hole.
4

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.
