Mijello Lidded Plastic Palette 24 AIRTIGHT

Provides ample room for colour mixing, paint last for days with just a spritz of water applied on top of colours, I like the material they have used also the plastic does not stain and the paint doesn’t stick to it. A worthy investment for serious hobbyists and artists alike.

Very good seal keeps fresh for a very long time recommended a bigger version would be nice

Really, Amazon, it's high time you stopped this rubbish practice of categorising professional painting accessories under toys and other non-relevant headings ! We expect better. There are now a great many professional artists' accessories available in your store - all scattered inconveniently across toys, household and other nonsense categories. Please classify them appropriately under a heading of their own - forthwith ! The sample sent to me bore no resemblance to the illustration; it is completely rectangular. However, it is still a very serviceable item, although I would not use it for acrylic, as suggested under "technical details"; I bought it as a watercolour palette, for use with tube colours, and in fact, the cardboard box in which it came describes it as a "Fusion2433 artists watercolour palette", and it serves this purpose admirably. "Barghainartistshop" from whom I bought it need to upgrade their description. Mijello is a Korean company, claiming to use "Advanced product technology"; and their product is indeed far, far superior to a John Pike rip-off imitation I recently bought which was made in Switzerland. The plastic is generously thick and rigid, and the paint wells and mixing surfaces are highly glazed, and will resist staining better than cheaper plastic products which invariably stain very easily. The airtight seal is achieved by a rubberised insert running round the outside of the lid which connects with a corresponding ridge on the base. The closing catch is just adequate - I would prefer a more positive lock. As well as two small mixing areas in the base, surrounded by paint wells, the entire lid may be used for mixing - the mixing area itself being removable for washing. Although the box is rectangular, the inside corners are rounded to facilitate cleaning. This is a quality product, better than a great many metal watercolour boxes (many of which rust), and may even be the best of the plastic kind.

This watercolour palette is excellent. It is large with lots of sections to hold paint and a large area, plus the lid, the mix paint in. Best of all you can put the lid on at the end of painting and reuse it the next time. The lid prevents spills and keeps the paint well. Very happy with my purchase.

I have not used this extensively yet. I found the paint was still drying out but this was a thin layer. I put a sheet of clingfilm in before shutting the lid and will be interested to see if the paint left over a week ago is still usable. I like the large flat area in the centre for paint mixing with a knife. I think this would be excellent if you wanted to fill the wells more for a loaded palette/ project and keep the colours going.

I now have 2 of these palettes. The first one was bought to use with acrylic paints and it worked so well that I decided to buy another one to see it could be used for oils. Pleased to say that in my experience the palette works well with both mediums. I have not used it for watercolour as I use pan paints and see no need for this type of palette for use with watercolour paints, which can easily be reactivated by adding water in any case. Another wee tip I have picked up is to keep the palettes between use, in either the fridge which I have done, or in the freezer. The palette is very easy to carry but best kept flat/level to avoid the paint moving about.

Very practical and it saves money on paints because you just add water to refresh the paints. I use it for watercolour.

Keeps the paints nice and fresh. The only slight problem is that the lid is very stiff to open

It was supposed to keep paint moist for days and the paint dried up after 1 day.

Funciona estupendamente para mantener frescos los colores premezclados, ya sean al óleo o acrílicos. La utilitzo para óleos solubles al agua tipo COBRA de Talens o Artisan de Winsor&Newton. Así puedo trabajar en una obra hasta una semana (más no he probado) con una paleta de colores premezclados. Para mejorar la conservación, de noche guardo la paleta en el frigorífico. Es la mejor solución que he encontrado a mi problema después de probar varias opciones.

Correspond à la description bien pratique

Ottimo prodotto, la utilizzo per i colori ad acquarello. Capiente e funzionale, è dotata di coperchio che può essere utilizzato anche per mescolare i colori, in questo modo si raddoppia lo spazio.

This palette is easy to wash clean and does its job of keeping paint wet. I use it with acrylics.
