Portable mixing palette

Many of us take a small watercolour palette out with us, be it a homemade version or a manufactured one.   By virtue of having a small palette, it doesn't allow much room for actual 'Mixing' of paints, so I've come up with my version that I find quite handy.


 ~ I laminated a piece of pure white card stock ~


 ~ Makes for a great portable mixing palette ~


~ and is easily wiped clean ~


~ and can be slipped into the pocket of my moleskine sketchbook ~

Saw your portable palette on sketchbook Skool so popped over. What a simple but sensible idea. Off to find my laminator which is lurking in the back of a cupboard. Thanks for the tip.

I use a piece of Yupo, lasts a long time (I've been using one piece about 4 months now).
