What Are the Different Types of Art Palettes?
Art palettes come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, each catering to different painting techniques and mediums. Wooden palettes are commonly associated with oil painting due to their durability and smooth blending surface. Acrylic artists often favour disposable palettes or those made from non-porous plastic to prevent paint absorption. Watercolour palettes typically feature wells and mixing areas to control fluid pigment application. Some palettes are handheld, offering mobility, while larger palettes rest on work surfaces, providing extended space for complex blends. Understanding these different types allows artists to select palettes that complement their preferred painting style and workflow. Choosing the right palette enhances convenience, ensures proper paint handling, and supports more efficient mixing and application techniques across various artistic projects.

The shape and size of an art palette play a significant role in an artist’s comfort and painting technique. Handheld palettes with thumb holes offer mobility and are preferred by oil painters who work on large canvases, allowing them to keep their palette close while standing. Flat rectangular palettes provide ample space for blending colours but require a stable surface, making them ideal for acrylic and gouache artists. Watercolour palettes with structured wells help artists manage fluid pigment application, preventing colours from spreading uncontrollably. Large palettes support extensive colour mixing, while compact palettes are easier to manage for quick sessions or travel-friendly setups. Choosing the right palette size and shape enhances ease of use, reduces strain during long sessions, and ensures a more natural painting flow tailored to the artist’s working style.
