Painting Supplies & Equipment

This Jackson’s Ceramic Palette is easy to clean, non-staining, and has 33 wells around a large colour mixing area.

I like this palette because the wells are a good size and there is ample room for me to mix paint. It has a plastic cover that is helpful for keeping dust off the paint when not in use.

It’s a heavy palette so it’s only suitable for studio use.

These easy to clean ceramic round palettes are suitable for watercolour and stack together nicely, allowing for neat storage.

The rounded lid doubles up as a palette, allowing for even more colour mixing.

If I need a lot of a particular colour I tend to use these palettes so that I don’t run out of paint.

An interesting tool that can be used to apply masking fluid is a ruling pen. They are traditionally used by draftsmen and architects for creating precise lines and technical drawings. They consist of two adjustable metal blades that can be adjusted to vary the thickness of the line being drawn. They are good to use if you require precision over the marks you are making.

I demonstrate using one in this blog post.

There are 2 versions available from Jackson’s.

• BOFA : SMALL RULING PEN

• KOH-I-NOOR : RULING PEN
