Haha, I've never used a traditional palette. Right now, I'm using the lid of a tub of butter. In college we had easel tables, which were fantastic for oils. There was a white piece of paper and a pane of glass laid on top. You could mix all your colors on the glass, and after the paint had dried you could scrape it off with a razor blade.

lol...i use a small piece of plexiglass

That works too, if you use mostly watercolors. The glass scraper can leave marks on the surface.

The white underneath helps you see the colors better. I've also used a mirror before. :)

I also use the glass palette with oils.
I use a medium gray colored matte board underneath to help with getting the right shade when mixing colors. I love painting with oils. :)

This would make a nice logo for pbn.

It must be frustrating for those of you who are true artists in the real world to be restricted to a pixel grid and 3 colors with no shading. Then again, an artist can easily envision the hues in a B&W portrayal of a sunset.

It was frustrating at first, but I've adapted to the medium. ;)
