painter's palette

A painter's palette is a flat surface, often made of wood, plastic, or glass, used by artists to hold and mix their paints. It allows for easy blending of colors and convenient access during painting. Palettes come in various shapes and sizes, sometimes with wells for different hues and a thumb hole for comfortable handling. They are essential tools that help artists achieve the desired tones and effects, providing a organized workspace for their color choices while working on a painting.
