Palette...
Recently I’ve had quite a few inquiries about my palette set up and how it works, but before I get into that I have do a wee bit of self promotion. This weekend I am teaching a 2 day painting workshop in Rockland at the Farnsworth Museum of Art. I think there are still a few spots left, so let me know if you are interested.
Now on to the palette… This is something I made myself, to be the best possible solution to my own needs. It’s not perfect, but if someone wants to make something similar these photos might help. The palette is 13×26″ and has a wooden cover. The sides are made of pine with a channel cut into them to slide the top into. Both the top, and the palette surface are made of thin oak ply. There is a small support piece glued to the top to keep the cover from pushing down in the middle where the top would have the most flex. When the cover is removed, I use a bungee cord to attach it to the easel. Hopefully the pics below will show all of this.
