Vertical Painting Palette

thingiverse

I wanted to buy my painter friend a "Parallel Palette," but it seems they went out of business or something, as I couldn't find anything but an old kickstarter and a website that had been erased. So I made one to print. The purpose of this palette is so that your paints are right next to you so you don't have to look away from the canvas constantly. The middle section is for a 6"x8" piece of removable glass for mixing paints, and the top sections are for the actual paints. You should apply XTC or some kind of strong epoxy to the paint section so it's not only waterproof but also easy to clean thoroughly. I've also included a mount for the palette that will work with any generic camera tripod with quick release. Check out the photos to see how it's glued together with epoxy. I attached the mount to the palette with command strips, so it's very easy to take apart for travel or storage. Happy painting!
