Watercolor Paint Palette

Watercolor Paint Palette

This is my new palette.  Purchased from Hobby Lobby using one of their weekly coupons.  The cost was around $12.  The main reason I upgraded to this palette is obvious, lots of paint wells, 33 in fact. My previous palette held 12 different colors.  Now I have lots of  space for the paints I own and for some new paint colors.  Another benefit is the large tray built into the top for mixing paint.  This palette closes securely to prevent spills.

The only down side that I have found for this palette is the plastic used for the paint wells does not receive writing.  If you look closely you can see that I attempted to write the paint names with a Sharpie on the bars between the paint colors.  If you touch the writing it comes off.  To solve this issue I took a piece of paper, sectioned it off just like this palette and wrote the paint names in each section that corresponds to the palette below.  Doing this has solved another issue, paint inventory.  A list of my paint inventory is now available to take with me to the art store (photo below).
