A folding palette for use in the field or as a convenient studio tool. One side of the folding palette has a slot to hold a standard size (16×20″) piece of glass for spacious paint mixing, while the other side is lightweight plywood for support of solvents, mediums, rags, knives, and brushes. The palette contains enough height when closed to accommodate large piles of paint, yet is slim enough to make it portable.
The folding palette uses a custom-fit full length hinge for strength, which lays flat when open for tabletop use. The underside of the mixing section contains a threaded insert for use while elevated on a tripod. Metal d-rings on the front make it easy to transport by attaching your favorite strap. Strong rare-earth magnets secure the lid when closed so there are no clasps to fumble with before or after a painting session. Just close it and go.
