A simple thing that will outlast everything else on the bench. The palette has 6 wells for individual shades and a flat central area for mixing and testing a brush stroke. Aluminium takes everything modelling uses – acrylics, enamels, lacquers, alcohol, acetone and the sharp thinners that would slowly eat a plastic palette. Wash it after work and it is as new, unlike paper palettes that get thrown away or plastic ones that stain for good.

Frequently asked questions
Does aluminium corrode from the paint?
No. Bare aluminium stands up to ordinary modelling paints and thinners; the only thing that harms it is a strongly alkaline cleaner. Routine cleaning with water or thinner does it no harm.
What is the central area for?
Mixing and testing. Individual colours go in the wells, they are brought together on the flat part, and there you can check straight away how the stroke looks and whether the paint is too thick.
How is dried paint removed?
Acrylic softens in acrylic cleaner and scrapes off with a fingernail or a spatula. Enamel and lacquer come off with their own thinner. Aluminium also takes mechanical cleaning, so the palette cannot be ruined for good.
