Daler-Rowney Staywet Palette Small, 7.9 x 8.9in, Keeps Paint Wet, Ideal for Professional Artists, Students & Hobbyists

Sooo! Many people say this is flimsy and brittle.Yes it's plastic. Yes I guess you could say it's probably brittle. However as a professional artist I don't make a habit of throwing things like this around the studio so can't say I've ever broke one!What do you want?If it's solid - it's going to be heavy and unwieldly.Personally I love this palette and have had my current one for several years now so I do feel placed to give this product 5 stars all round.Keeps my paints usable for weeks so long as I keep the bottom paper moist.I agree it's quite expensive. However counter that with the money saved on paint and it soon pays for itself.I often have 2 on the go at any one time if I'm working on a big piece.

Ive used one of these for years now as I paint for a living, saves the paint from drying out, so if you have mixed colours they are still ready for the next section, I have the large size also, which I prefer, the small is a little too small.

There isn’t a lot of choice on the market for these wet palettes I have noticed this one does the job ok but to charge £20 for a flimsy plastic tray is way over the top I shall make my own out of a plastic box with damp kitchen roll and grease proof paper

It's pricey for what it is, making many people opt for the DIY option, I'm sure, but it does perform well and probably earns its keep in terms of paint saved pretty quickly.

very good product and excellent supplier so will definately be ordering again.

Disappointing from a brand name. Sort of thing you would expect to get in £landI now note the amazon entry pic shows only the external box and not the palette.Go on the internet to see images of the contentsHaving said which, the papers are worth something I suppose and I will use it.probably cheaper to buy the papers separate and use a large chinese takeaway/tupperware type box

I simply could not live without this palette in my life. The amount of paint it saves me is simply brilliant, especially now I have made the jump to the more expensive Winsor and Newton artist's brand.I understand where people come from when they complain that is seems a little flimsy, however; it is what it needs to be in my opinion and works a treat.

I wanted a small tray so I could pop it into my art bag when I went to my class, I was disappointed when I inspected the tray to find how flimsy it is, the plastic used is not much better than the stuff that protects supermarket produce, it certainly won't last long and then only if I make sure it's placed on the top of my bag when transporting. It is neither water or airtight. The interior consists of nothing more than what looks like a sheet of blotting paper and sheets of opaque/ greaseproof? paper. My paints did stay moist during art class and were okay the next day but dried up rapidly after that. I've got a large size Masterson Sta-wet palette which is much sturdier and has a sponge base and my acrylics remain okay in that for at least a week. The only thing I like about this tray is the size but the price of nearly £20 is ridiculous considering the poor quality.

Great

Great product. Worth the money.

article qui correspond tout à fait à la description.Matériel très pratique lorsque l'on utilise de la peinture acrylique ainsi elle sèche moins vite, et on peut la mettre au réfrigérateur pour l'utliser le lendemain puisque la boite est herméthique

I've found the base paper to be difficult to get just the right amount of water on. Also, the top sheets tend to wrinkle a lot especially as they start to dry. Spraying them with water doesn't prevent the edges from staying curled. I can mix paint with a brush but these are too fragile to use a palette knife on. When I wet the palette to stay wet overnight, the next morning all the colors had run and were useless. Nice in theory but in practice doesn't work so well as amount of water to use is not easy to figure out. Could do the same method with any tupperware container, decent paper towel for base layer, and parchment paper on top, and would probably seal better too.
