It took a professor with many years of teaching behind her to create palettes that her students could not only use effectively but also afford. Made of 1/8" (3mm) thick clear acrylic, these palettes feature smooth edges for easy holding and a glass-like surface for mixing paint on. They will not break if they fall and allow easy clean up with acrylic colors by means of using denatured alcohol, or oil colors with odorless paint solvents (like her favorite, Gamsol). Available in a wide variety of sizes for use in the studio, classroom, and for travel needs.
