Holbein Aluminum Palette for Watercolor #80

excellent- has build every great painter describes. slanted paint cubes sloping down from raised water dam to keep paint clean till use, good wash and mixing areas. Is metal so paint will not bead. Snaps together simply, opening easily. The water dam was a happy surprise, and something I like and did not expect was the middle hinge is worked so the entire lays flat and open as one open piece laying in one hand.Really nice build, look and handling

Just so you know, there is a thumb hole in this. These seem to be made the same as the cheaper aluminum palettes sold on amazon, but the size is different. In the photo you will see the cheaper brand palette and this one beside it.

I really enjoy using this, especially the mixing surface and the sloping colour wells. It makes it so much easier to pick up the paint on the brush and mix more accurately. The one down side is that the aluminium material is so light, it is easy to tip over the palette. It is still worth having. I wrote to Holbein asking why they no longer manufacture the palette in steel. I received a very polite response that unfortunately, the skill of producing it in steel has been lost. I suspect older more experienced workers retired and the skill was not passed on. Shame!

Excelente calidad

30仕切のものと迷いましたが、全体の大きさを考えると26仕切のこのサイズがお手頃だと思いました。とても良い感じです。ホルベインですし安心して使えます。
