Jack Richeson - Plastic Paint Palette
Six wells organize paints while white plastic shows true colors
Compact mixing wells keep colors separated while you work through quick studies or plein air sessions. This six-well palette gives you dedicated space for individual hues without the sprawl of larger mixing surfaces, fitting easily into travel kits or small studio setups.
White plastic construction serves a practical purpose beyond easy cleanup: neutral backgrounds let you judge color accuracy as you mix, eliminating the guesswork that comes with tinted or stained surfaces. The material resists both watercolor and acrylic, wiping clean between sessions without absorbing pigment into its surface. Wells are molded deep enough to hold working amounts of paint while maintaining separation between colors.
At 3 1/2 by 5 7/8 inches including the handle, this palette slips into pochade boxes and backpacks without consuming precious space. The integrated handle provides secure grip whether you're holding it while painting or carrying it between locations. Jack Richeson designed this for artists who need functional mixing capacity in a portable format, field painters working from limited setups and students managing shared studio spaces find the compact footprint particularly useful. Clean it quickly, pack it efficiently, and focus on painting rather than palette management.
