About product

U-STAR Pentagon Palette mixing palette

A palette is among the simplest pieces of bench equipment, and yet the one that most affects the result of hand painting. You take paint onto it from the bottle, adjust its consistency and only then touch the model. The name refers to the pentagonal shape of the palette, by which this variant is told apart from the other shapes in the U-STAR range.

What the palette is for

Paint in a bottle never has exactly the consistency you need for a particular part. On a palette you can lighten, darken or thin a shade to a state suited to a thin coat, and above all you can wipe the brush on it to the right amount of paint. Without a palette, thinning is done straight in the bottle, which is an irreversible intervention in the whole container, or the work is done with unthinned paint, which leaves prominent brush marks and floods the fine detail.

Use and tips

  • Take off only as much paint as you will use in a short while; acrylic sets quickly on an open surface.
  • Add the thinner drop by drop and keep watching how the paint runs down the tilted palette.
  • Wipe the brush on the edge before applying, so that no drop is left in it to run on the model.
  • Always mix a little more of a shade than seems necessary; mixing an absolutely identical tone later is difficult.
  • Clean the palette while the paint is fresh; a dried layer comes off considerably worse.

Who the palette is for

For anyone who paints with a brush, that is, for figure painters, builders of cockpits and interiors, and for retouching after an airbrush. It also serves well as an addition to a wet palette, when you only need to set a mixed shade aside briefly or to prepare paint for dry brush work.

Check the dimensions, the material and the number of mixing areas on the box.

FAQ

You take a small amount of paint onto it, adjust the consistency and wipe the brush on it. The paint then goes on in a thin coat that does not flood the detail, and the bottle stays unthinned.

In shape, according to the name; this is the pentagonal version. Check the other data on the box.

Most easily right after work, while the paint is fresh. A dried layer has to be soaked off and removed mechanically, which puts needless strain on the surface of the palette.

It does not. A wet palette keeps acrylic workable for longer; this palette serves for quickly mixing and metering paint.
