Zectz Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Has anybody used a glass palette for their painting before? Any thoughts compared to a typical plastic or wet palette? From the few videos I've seen the paint sits well on it for mixing/blending and thinning. Plus it's super easy to clean with hot water and a blade if needed. Just seems like a very clean and efficient way of maintaining a painting station.

Major_Gilbear Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I normally use a small white ceramic plate, bought for this purpose. I find it easier to judge colours against the white, and the slight lip prevents any unfortunate incidents with runny paints or inks.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It works fine, assuming it is smooth, glossy glass. Just covering my bases, because you might be trying to use frosted glass or something weird like that. Any material like glass, ceramic, porcelain, etc that are hard, flat and smooth make fine palettes that are also easy to clean. You can use things like mirrors, dishes, etc. They're honestly more ideal palettes than regular plastic palettes sold at art stores, other than the fact that they don't have deep wells for you to mix or hold large quantities of paint in.

VulkansDynasty Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I use a clear plastic sheet or a sheet of plexiglass and both are great, so I imagine glass works well also Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331305-glass-palette/#findComment-4664247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Wolf Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Bathroom tiles - available from your local builders merchant for a small price for a pack of 20 - I had change out of £10 and a big supply of disposable palletes.
