Meet Lynda’s New 3D-Printed Watercolor Palette (Made for Big Brushes!)

In this studio feature, Kelowna watercolor artist Lynda Norman shares a small tool she designed to solve a real painter’s problem: when you paint with lots of water, many palettes eventually wear down — especially if you love big brushes and juicy tube paint. In this video, you’ll see: Why common palettes can break down with heavy water use The design details: wide wells, large mixing areas, magnetic closure, and a compact size that travels well How Lynda fills an empty palette from tubes, how much to add, and why she leaves a little room at the top How the palette cleans up (including tips for staining pigments and getting into corners) Lynda’s current “go-to” mindset: painting with fewer favorite colors and letting them do more work Availability note: This palette is currently available to Canadian purchasers only due to shipping complications outside Canada. 🛒 Palette link: www.bandraoistudio.com/shop-1 These palettes are available within Canada only, due to current shipping limitations.
