The large mixing tray very quickly became warped, which was annoying, and one of the lid clasps broke.

Haven't cleaned any of these radial palettes yet!! But then I don't really use the centres so a quick wipe will do. Have just seen some new paints which Elise has bought from Jacksons.... very reasonable and she likes the Cobalt Blue... dare I?<br /><br />I have, well had a couple of Stephen Quiller books... seem to have lost one or let someone borrow it as I can't find it!! I like his approach to colour and have learned a lot from his books.Judith Farnworth Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466625674796659185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-88128903478333113332013-03-23T17:42:45.331-07:002013-03-23T17:42:45.331-07:00Great post - after reading Polly's post I'...Great post - after reading Polly's post I've been busy writing down all the info I need about the colours I've got (31 so far and tempted to get a couple more I've heard of!) whether they're warm or cool, transparent or opaque, granulating etc. and will be typing it up tomorrow to put up next to the easel for quick reference in the hope that over time I will know all this info without having to look! I do tend to go with the same colours though but like you want to experiment with the other lovely juicy pigments I have - I really like the look of that palette too - I tend to use kids painting palettes but could do with having an organised palette like this!

My latest palette is a Stephen Quiller porcelain and I love it because it cleans up so easily.Hopeless for taking out of the studio though because it is so heavy. I agree with the colour thing- have lots so choice is great and then limit to a few with each painting. I love variety. I had to laugh Judith at you taking this time just to get organised but its something we just have to do from time to time - I'm sure it makes painting easier LOLLorraine Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501222231037623426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-22739383450651858842013-03-23T15:40:27.969-07:002013-03-23T15:40:27.969-07:00Hi Vandy... as I said to Val will only use this to...Hi Vandy... as I said to Val will only use this to carry about, will still have all my lovely colours at home to work with, but may use this one as well to try and sort out my others so that I can empty them and start afresh with a better system.

I have thought seriously about getting one with a lid so the one you've found looks like a real contender.
