Strathmore 300 Series Palette Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 9x12 inches, 40 Sheets (41lb/67g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students

I will forever buy this. Perfect for my art therapy clients...or students too!

An untrained hobbyist digital artist for almost 10 years, I recently decided to put the stylus away for a while and do art via physical mediums. Acrylic, watercolor and oil paints are just a few of the mediums Ive been trying out. I own, operate and maintain a few 3D printers as another hobby, and have designed a few of my own palettes and 3D printed them. The palettes work for my watercolors, but I found it difficult to mix paint colors on my palettes. Plus, my 3D printed palettes are difficult to clean with acrylics and near impossible to clean with oils. Watching some painting advice videos on the internet, I saw these palette papers being used and though BINGO!. These papers work great for me! Ive heard you can using baking sheets as well, and may be something I look into in the future since its probably cheaper. But I really like just being able to tear a page out of this pad and start loading it with paint. When Im done I can just toss the paper. I have a small desk I use for my art, so space is at a bit of a premium. These pages are still small enough that I can keep one by my canvas while still allotting space to put down a few different colors of paint and mix them at different dilutions. I suppose you could clean them but I havent attempted this and probably wont. I have crudely reused a couple of papers with acrylic paint. I just used up as much of the acrylic paint on the paper as I could, let the paint dry, then put down more paint on the dried paint, making sure to match colors to location. This worked well for a couple of times and gets a little more life out of one of these sheets. Im quite happy with these sheets and feel theyve helped me in my art, by providing me a means to control my paint.

great

This is perfect for acrylic paints. It itls so much easier cleaning up my work station. Colors mix really easy on this paper as well.

Like that a page can be taken off pad and thrown away when you are done with it.

I cant think of anything did not like. The time saved in cleaning after the painting is done is the reason I tried paper pallettes. They work as advertised.

Just throw it away when you are done. Cant beat it for cleaning up.

This is my favorite palette paper. I dont use anything else. It stays put because it is anchored on more than one side. It is slick enough to let go of the paint when you need it. Its the perfect size for me and my desk, although I believe they have a larger size as well. Strathmore comes out with many high quality products. This is one of them.

So easy to use & wish I had purchased these a long time ago.

A must have for any artist!
