Jack Richeson - Rectangular Melamine Palettes
Rectangular Melamine Palettes
Professional-grade melamine palette designed for ambidextrous use
Melamine surfaces on both sides eliminate the awkward reach, left-handed painters get the same comfortable layout as right-handed artists, with wells and mixing areas positioned exactly where your brush naturally lands. The smooth, non-porous surface releases dried acrylic and oil paint with minimal scraping, making cleanup between sessions straightforward rather than laborious. Paint sits on the surface without soaking in, maintaining true color mixing without absorption dulling your pigments.
The rectangular format provides generous mixing space while remaining manageable to hold during extended painting sessions. A neoprene thumb insert cushions your grip and distributes weight evenly across your hand, reducing fatigue when you're working alla prima or spending hours on color matching. The insert stays secure without shifting mid-stroke.
Richeson designed these palettes for painters who move between easel and tabletop work, offering flexibility that traditional wooden palettes can't match. The reversible design means you can dedicate one side to warm colors and flip for cools, or use one side for studies and keep the other pristine for finished work. Durability matches professional demands, melamine withstands repeated solvent exposure and scraping without degrading or warping.
