Jack Richeson - Folding Watercolor Palettes
Pack your watercolors securely with wells that fold closed for travel
Watercolor painting away from the studio demands equipment that protects your setup during transit without adding bulk. These Jack Richeson folding palettes solve that problem with hinged white plastic construction that closes completely, keeping mixed colors secure and separated whether you're commuting to class or hiking to a painting location. The white interior provides accurate color mixing references, crucial for judging value and hue relationships before committing paint to paper.
Multiple wells accommodate both pure pigment and graduated mixes, while dedicated storage areas hold small watercolor tubes and a few brushes, consolidating your essential tools in one compact unit. The shallow well design suits watercolor's fluid nature, allowing easy brush access and color loading without awkward angles. These palettes slip readily into backpacks, briefcases, or toolboxes without the fragile concerns of ceramic alternatives.
Available in two sizes to match your working scale: the small palette measures 10 × 9 inches, ideal for pocket sets and quick studies; the large 11¾ × 10½-inch version provides expanded mixing capacity for more ambitious field work. Both fold down to roughly half their open dimensions, making them genuinely portable rather than merely transportable.
