Why should you use ceramic paint palette?
One of the challenges of watercolor is color mixing. It’s a known fact that it is not always easy and the process of mixing can be tricky and frustrating at times – especially when all we get is a muddy-looking mix!
But there’s no denying that this so called challenge is one of the medium’s charm and appeal and we can’t get enough of those vibrant, transparent mix.
importance of mixing palette
The mixing palette is an unsung hero of watercolor painting for the following reasons;
- This is the first contact of water and paint together.
- It’s where you’ll mix your color choices that you will later on paint on your paper.
- This is where you’ll estimate the consistency of your paints.
- Lastly, good watercolor palette can help you achieve luminous mix and avoid watercolor mud!
why choose ceramic paint palette?
I have hundreds of reasons why I love using ceramic palette but here are some that will surely win your heart as well;
- Ceramic paint palette improves the performance of your paints. Because of its coating, you won’t see water beading on it-I hate it when I can’t mix my colors properly because of the beading. It helps a lot that on porcelain, pigments stick together resulting in a beautiful mix of vibrant color.
- Ceramic paint palettes are very sturdy and designed for years of consistent use.
- In case you are still not convinced about ceramic. Cleaning this kind of palette is much easier too. And best of all, it doesn’t stain!
There’s no going back once you try painting with a ceramic palette.
