Mixing Palette - 6 Wells

The Mixing Palette with 6 Wells is an essential tool for young artists and classroom creatives alike, offering a convenient and organised way to mix and explore colours. Made from durable plastic, this palette features six evenly spaced wells, making it perfect for separating and blending liquid paints or tempera colour block refills (SQ26).

Its compact, stackable design allows for easy storage and transport, whether used in a classroom, art studio, or at home. Each well measures approximately 4.5 - 4.6cm in diameter and 1.6cm in depth, providing ample space for colour experimentation while keeping paints contained and reducing mess. The full palette measures 16.5cm (W) x 11.4cm (L), making it a convenient size for individual or small group use.

This palette is an excellent resource for teaching colour theory, encouraging fine motor development, and supporting clean, efficient paint use in any creative space.
