Why Ceramic Palettes?

The palette is not actively used by the artist to create, it is an intermediary element. Maybe it’s for this reason that it is often overlooked. In reality, palettes are a vital elements in the artist studio. We are going to take a look at the ceramic palette and see why it’s an amazing product!

Overview:

Ceramic has several qualities that make it an adequate material for watercolor artists, acrylic, tempera & gouache painters. Perhaps, even some oil painters too. Ceramic is a hydrophobic material, this means that more water will be retained by your panting medium and, in consequence, will stay wet for longer. That also means that the water on the surface will not break into separate smaller pools, unlike with plastic surfaces! This makes it a lot easier to spread paint out on a larger surface area, making it easier to mix colors.

Ceramic is a material with a hyper smooth surface, this will make your palette extremely easy to clean. For the same reason, your palette will not stain and won’t contaminate new color mixtures.

Lastly, your palette will not scratch leaving you with the best type of surface to mix colors on.

Conclusion:

Palettes come in different shapes and sizes. You can also choose the palette with the number of wells or mixing area and that suits your needs best! The best part about this is that they can last you a lifetime. There is nothing wrong with having a few plastic palettes, but a few ceramic ones are a must!
