Jack Richeson - Eight Well Eight Slant Palette

Eight Well Eight Slant Palette

Perfect for mixing washes and transporting colors between studio and classroom

Metal construction keeps this mixing tray flat and stable through countless painting sessions. The Eight Well Eight Slant Palette provides dedicated spaces for individual colors while maintaining a compact 4" × 12" footprint that fits into most travel bags and storage spaces without dominating your work surface.

Eight slanted wells position pigment at an angle that makes color pickup easier with any brush size, reducing the awkward wrist angles that come with flat-bottomed palettes. The slant design also helps paint pool naturally rather than spreading thin across horizontal surfaces. Metal resists warping under the weight of thick paint applications and cleans thoroughly with soap and water or palette knife scraping.

This palette serves watercolorists who prefer working from pans rather than tubes, gouache painters managing multiple opaque colors, and acrylic artists who need separated mixing areas. The well configuration provides enough variety for landscape work or portrait sessions while staying manageable for classroom settings where space comes at a premium. Jack Richeson designed this tray to balance working capacity with practical portability, large enough to support actual painting, small enough to pack without hesitation.
