Just posted a sketch of a tiger swimming, which is a preliminary to painting him in acrylics.....if I can! Have trouble with reflections in water, and that is quite an important part of the picture. I will probably start with the light and dark undercoats of the tiger, then onto the water, and try to bring it all along together, but any advice would be extremely welcome, please.

I agree as well. I do have a new palette (nothing super duper) which I hope to put to use one day. In the meantime the pans in my old one contain pigment and when one of the colours gets low I am continually tempted to keep it topped up - after all I don't want to waste the others. So at this rate I doubt if the new palette will ever get a look in.

I always thought it was me... I have always wondered what the fuss is re C Y pallettes. Crazy money. Paper, paints and good brushes are far more important. I have an old plastic pallette as long as it holds the paint and I can mix in it that's all I want. <div>I do think that sometimes people think that if they used one it will make them into wonderful painters..... ...if only.! </div>

I've seen some palettes - shown here indeed - which are beautiful objects: works of art in their own right. I did wonder, though, if some wealthy and insane relative ever gave me one, if I'd ever pluck up the courage to use it, and spoil the surface with staining pigments. I suppose it can be said in their favour that they would last a lifetime: although at my age ... what wouldn't....? <div>
</div><div>I'm not a fanatical watercolourist though; and wonder if I'd be slightly more tempted if I were (academic, because I couldn't afford one). What I would like though, one of these days, is a really big, kidney-shaped palette for oils, in seasoned wood, with a beautifully chamfered thumb-hole and a balance fitted beneath so that it didn't lurch to one side, spilling my medium on the floor: my birthday's on November 18th - that's NOVEMBER 18TH. </div>

It would be nice if they started to make the old palettes again I like the style of palette Fletcher Watson used ,but I find they weight a little to much if made of brass a 1lb jam jar on your wrist,mmmm///.I don't get along with plastic either they always seem a little greasy.. the aluminum one maybe ok ,?
