Is anybody else a collector of watercolour palettes? I could stock a shop. I have tried a butchers tray, Tom Lynch palette (from Cheap Joe's), Liz Deacon palette (from Ken Bromley), muffin tray, mixing palette with lid from SAA as used by David Bellamy, large folding 28 well aluminium box (widely available and cheap but badly made), similar in plastic (from Dick Blick) and even a expensive small paintbox by Craig Young which is well made but being solid brass is heavy and I found the four flaps fiddly and with not enough flat mixing areas for my style. My latest is the Holbein Professional 500 palette (from Charles Evans or Heaton Cooper) and I think I am now happy. The larger Holbein 1000 would be better but it seems to be no longer available hence my entry in Buy and Sell. Pity you can't try before you buy !
