You can rub some toothpaste into your metal palette mixing areas and counter the beading, and you can clean your plastic palette with a Mr. Clean eraser, but white porcelain still has many advantages. Plus it's heavy, so your cat won't be able to knock it off your table.

Ah yes....I have to admit. I prefer my porcelain palette. Thanks for sharing the tip! ~ Kris

I have had this palette over 10 years. At the 10 year mark the thin plastic top began to crack. I made a balsa wood top for it. All your comments are true. I have both sizes of Cheap Joe's ceramic palettes but this is my primary and favorite go to studio palette.

This pallette is very nice and keeping the colours in a somewhat accurate colour wheel would undoubtedly come with real benefits but what I would like even more than this is a big bathroom tile and if you want paintwells, lay down a metal ruler ( or more than one) keep your paints in full pans with a little piece of magnetic tape attached to the bottom of each. Pop your magnetic pans in a row in the order of your choice and pop another ruler on top if you need a lid. To have more of the advantages of the roundness of the quiller pallette you could cut 12 equal lengths of your magnetic tape and lay them down on your tile in a circle . At 8, 12 and 4 O clock on this circle you can put your magenta yellow and cyan etc.... and you can stick all your magnetic pans to the magnetic strips if the strips are glued upside down ( so as not to repel the pans) and with a waterproof glue. It's simpler than it sounds but it means that any paint in your studio palette can very easily be popped in and out of a travelling tin of any kind. You might be able to find a removeable flat metal circle which would be better again than the 12 metal strips. So In short, a big porcelain bathroom tile, a metal ring ( a second one for a lid) and magnetised pans is something I think I would like a little bit more than that lovely quiller palette!😊

Love it love it love it!!!....I "accidently" discovered that my husband bought me a "Stephen Quiller" Porcelain Watercolor Palette for Christmas this year (2020)!!!!!!! I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it!!! I already have a couple large plastic SQ palettes, a SQ travel palette and an additional 15' or so other well known palettes. They are all well loved, stained, chipped on the edges and so forth...The large wells are great because when I'm using my full size watercolor sheets, I won't have to remix my watercolor paints into a different container. Soooo, no more of that will be happening !!! I can hardly wait!!! 4 more days until my dream comes true and I get to open this wonderful gift!!! Yay!!!

I can see how there would be benefits to both though. The metal palette making the paint bead up might help keep it from spreading too much (maybe it's because I'm a beginner, but I've round that the paint tends to sneak away as I try to reload my brush after a while) while a porcelain palette would be perfect for washes to allow the paint to dilute properly and the lack of staining makes it easier to see what the actual wash will be. I probably need a lot more practice to figure out which works best for me for either or.

Kris DeBruine Studio yes I don’t use plates like a regular porcelain palette. I squize tiny amount of paints or using the surface as a mixing area. Also I reuse the rest of paint for another painting. It’s just a quick solution for mixing surface and easy to clean. I usually keep the paints covered to protect from dust. Otherwise, yes! having a palette like yours is really fancy and much more useful.

Hi Philllis. The porcelain palette in the video is the Stephen Quiller porcelain palette. You can purchase it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3QMLpWY It is quite expensive. Some other companies, like Meeden, have started coming out with copycat palettes that are less expensive, like this one: amzn.to/3QMaAJf Either way...it is a great addition to any watercolor studio.

I checked the link through to the UK price. It is £147 (pounds, not dollars) plus £16 shipping fee. I didn't find out if it was being sold by an American company, but to buy things from America is a risk because we can get slammed for an additional customs charge which is inconvenient and often shockingly expensive.

@@KrisDeBruineStudio Thank you very much for taking the time to reply with a link for a more reasonably priced version for the UK. I have just placed an order. The price discrepancy was more the issue than anything else. Why charge English people more than double what they charge American people? A high shipping fee is expensive, but understandable if the item has to travel across the pond...but then there is the trouble with customs. Do you know I once bought a pair of shoes from America and the shipping ended up being £90. British pounds. About half was the company's shipping charge. The other half was a totally unexpected customs fine. It is a bit upsetting, for America. They have got used to such a strong internal market they are not making the necessary adjustments for the global market. The USA is no longer the richest country in the world, but no American seems to have noticed. China is now the richest country in the world - by a large margin. I don't have much time for the human rights abuses hung over from communism, but the USA has the most terrible social problems again they are failing to deal with. Sorry, I just went on a rant. Watercolour palates, shoes, economics, politics and...ok, no more lol. Thanks again. All the best.

We really should treat our friends better than that. I hope you like the palette when it arrives and that it is of the quality you need. I have purchased another Meeden porcelain palette (the 17-well rectangular palette) and I like it very much. I use it as my back up palette and keep other colors in it. Anyways. I wish you the best. BTW - I like your KZread handle and avatar. Makes me wonder if you are Catholic.

@@KrisDeBruineStudio I am indeed. I am a religious sister. My vocation mostly involves defence of the Faith online. St Benedict taught that crafts should always be practiced in a monastery, which is a very sound bit of counsel. Those of us that spend a large amount of time boggling our brains with theology need to stop and do an activity that is more earth-bound. The other option is to have said brain get thoroughly frazzled. A few years ago, chronic health and disability saw me wash up in a nursing home. I painted some flowers in watercolour and stamped biblical quotes on them. I don't mean to boast. I am sure it was mostly having the quote that was important, but they were very popular. I am back out in the wild now, and think it makes sense to use all God has given me to work for the Faith. In one of my hospital visits, I ended up in the bed next door to a wonderful Missionary Sister of Charity. They, of course, have a mission to "The poorest of the poor". I was talking to one of the sisters and I realised that there was a specific mission to defend the Church, particularly online. I had fallen into this on MySpace over ten years ago. It was quite comical. The atheists got so mad at me they pushed my blogs up to the top spots, where they stayed. Chuckle. However, since then my health had collapsed very badly and I could no longer walk. I had thought myself fairly useless, given my health. It suddenly struck. Maybe God is not going to call the strong, fit, young and able-bodied to this mission? Perhaps He will not call the strongest of the strong, but the "weakest of the weak". Many years ago, I did my formation as a Discalced Carmelite, but I now propose an order with this specific mission. This is a unique time in history. Medical and technical advances have meant that women who - bluntly - would once have died, are living but with poor health and disability. Those with a vocation who cannot live in a convent for fear of being a burden can live in hermitages outside, and the online work means we can be active in mission work within the monastic tradition with our territory being cyberspace. The charism can be to offer the suffering, pain and indignity of our physical condition for the good of the Church. This has gone down quite well, but the Great Lurgy has held the proposal up a bit. I don't worry. God will have what He wants in His own time. I am just getting on with it in the meantime. I try to use fact and reason, and meet people where they are. This involves a lot of study. I also get called all the names under the sun fairly regularly. Some people seem to think we should continue the policy of dignified silence. I have never been particularly good at either virtue. I really believe it isn't right to stay silent when people say things that are simply not true. When I was studying my Bible this morning, with whether it is correct to engage in defending the Church on my mind, I came upon a verse that makes clear that Christ is the head of the Church. I reflected that if we think it somehow noble to stay silent when unjustly accused, it is Christ who we are allowing to be harmed. The accusations falls on him. The Accuser is...I am sure you know. I am working on a KZread channel doing animation of biblical stories, and ancient theology, like the 7 Deadly Sins. I am technically a bit if a dodo (#oldladyproblems) so it is a challenge, but I find that people, especially in the UK do not have any knowledge about the Faith that made us who we are. Young people are in a mess. According to Pew Research one-in-four millennials have some form of mental health problem. Sheesh. They have complex lives, but do not have a compass to help guide them. I want to complete a few videos before I start trying to get anyone to watch them. I have no intention of trying to convert anyone. A monk was once asked by a young man which religion he should belong to. The monk said, "Go where the good is for you." I thought that was rather wise. If the Faith we teach (and it's history) makes good sense to someone, I will be pleased. I cannot lie. I converted to Christianity in my early 30s and I am grateful to God every day for giving me this pearl beyond price. I think a person doing this cannot help but be concerned with "real world" problems. I didn't become a nun until later in life which amplifies that. My main focus is the matters of God, but when I get a bee in my bonnet (actually a whole swarm of bees in my bonnet) about something, I want to speak about it. I admit, not usually to people I have just "met" on the comments section of their channel lol. I have a thing about the needs of small business. I will spare you my concerns about the UK, but I worry about America. If I didn't care, it wouldn't matter. I honestly do care. Sometimes if a person has a blend of genuine caring, and the advantage of being able to look at things from a distance, they can see things others can't. I am not intending to enter the bizarre world of party politics. Frankly, I don't think it makes much difference. The issues that causes that buzzing noise from my bonnet should be important to everyone. I have assumed you are a Catholic, and so understand this way of thinking. I hope all is well with you. God bless, Sr K

Hello again dear sister Kerry. I have enjoyed reading a bit of your history. Thank you for sharing it with me. I too am a follower of Jesus, though not Catholic, but I trust you won't hold that against me. 😊 I met Jesus through the witness of my sister when I was 15. He changed my world in an instant and I've been following him ever since. I served as a campus pastor and missionary for 15 years. Now, I am a public high school teacher. I also teach watercolor online. In all of these activities I just want to glorify Him. I do think a lot about how I can use this growing KZread channel to radiate His beauty. I'm not sure how to do that....but I believe making art and being creative, can reflect His grace, much as a sermon or prayer can do. I would appreciate your prayers as I find my way in this work. I will pray for you today too. That the Lord will lead you in your vocation. That he will give you the strength you need. That you will find a way to speak truth into a very dark world. (Yes...I agree with you there are so many needs in our world today). God bless you and be well.

It's not $90 here in the UK it's £130.83 + £18.26 delivery which is about $175 and reading comments the quality it has really dropped with many having cracks and a greyish colour as oppose white. Knowing an experience potter I was told with materials and production would cost about $35 to produce. Considering Meeden do smaller but pretty much the same thing but at a far far reduced price, it does do much of what you say but here in the UK we would say Quiller is taking the piss for reallywhat is just a porcelain plate. His ego is shown not by in the manner of most artists of putting their name unobtrusively in the bottom right corner but in very big dark lettersinstead - certainly puts me off. In fact as can be found on KZread pretty much the same can be done with a porcelain plate and some tubes of glue built in ridges.
