★ Art Shed Staff Tip
Fill the wells with tube paint and let them dry before you travel. The lid keeps dust off, and a quick spritz of water rewets everything when you open it up at your painting spot.

Enamel is the classic watercolour palette surface for a reason. Paint beads and mixes cleanly on it, it does not absorb pigment the way plastic slowly does, and it does not warp or crack.

It works for watercolour, gouache and acrylic gouache, and the folding design means your colours stay protected between sessions, at home or in a backpack.

Caring for Your Metal Palette

Wipe it with a damp cloth or rinse under the tap. Avoid scourers and abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the enamel.

Dry it before closing for long periods so moisture is not trapped against the metal.

Questions About the Holbein Metal Watercolour Palette

Why choose a metal watercolour palette over plastic?

A metal palette with an enamel finish resists staining, does not warp, and lets paint bead and mix cleanly. It also lasts for years, where plastic palettes stain and crack over time.

How many wells does the Holbein 1130-40 palette have?

It has 13 wells plus open mixing space, and measures about 252 x 224mm open.

Can I use this palette for gouache and acrylic gouache?

Yes. It suits watercolour, gouache and acrylic gouache. Clean acrylic gouache off before it dries, as it dries water resistant.

Can I travel with paint dried in the palette?

Yes. Fill the wells, let the paint dry, and the folding lid protects your colours in transit. Rewet with a spritz of water when you arrive.
