Jack Richeson - Oval Melamine Palettes
Oval Melamine Palettes
Ergonomic oval design reduces hand fatigue during painting
Curved edges conform to your hand's natural position rather than forcing your grip into the standard flat rectangle. Jack Richeson shapes these melamine palettes with ergonomic consideration, the oval form distributes weight across your palm while the included neoprene thumb insert cushions pressure points during extended painting sessions.
Melamine provides a non-porous mixing surface that resists staining and cleans completely between sessions. Paint sits on the surface rather than soaking in, maintaining true color mixing without contamination from previous sessions. The material handles both acrylics and oils without degrading, and dried paint lifts away with minimal effort. White surface color ensures accurate color judgment as you mix, no tinted background to distort your perception of values and hues.
The thumb insert stays secure during use but removes for thorough cleaning. This design detail matters when you're working vertically or moving between easel and palette repeatedly; secure grip means focusing on brushwork rather than worrying about dropping your mixing surface. Painters working on larger canvases particularly appreciate how the oval shape reduces hand fatigue during sessions that stretch across hours.
