Painting Palettes

A painting palette is one of the essential tools in every modeler's workshop. It allows for convenient dispensing, mixing, and thinning of paints, which is crucial for achieving precise colors and the desired consistency. Whether you're painting plastic models, miniatures, or creating dioramas, the right palette helps keep your workspace tidy and gives you full control over the painting process. It helps you avoid wasting paint and provides a surface where you can freely combine different shades to create unique colors.

Types of Modeling Palettes

In our offer, you will find various types of palettes tailored to specific needs and painting techniques. The most popular choice among modelers are wet palettes. They consist of a special container, a sponge, and sheets of paper that, when soaked in water, keep acrylic paints moist for many hours, or even days. This is an ideal solution for techniques like blending or layering, as it prevents the paint from drying out too quickly. We also offer classic dry palettes, made of plastic or ceramic. They are simple to use and easy to clean, making them great for working with oil paints, enamels, and for quick painting projects.

Which Painting Palette Should You Choose?

The choice of the right palette mainly depends on the type of paints you use and your working style. If you primarily paint with acrylics and value a comfortable, unhurried workflow, a wet palette will be indispensable. It will give you time for precise color mixing and making corrections. For those using oil or enamel paints, as well as for beginner modelers who want to start with simpler solutions, a traditional dry palette with wells will be a good choice. Regardless of your decision, a well-chosen palette is an investment that significantly enhances the quality and comfort of painting any model.
