I love trying out new watercolor palettes, but they cause the watercolor paint to bead up on them when you try to mix colors. The beading is a problem with plastic and metal watercolor palettes, porcelain seems to work fine. But they're heavier and will break if you drop them.
You will find many recommendations from different watercolor artists for eliminating the beading. I test out the most common solutions in this video.
First, I try rubbing toothpaste and baking soda into the palette and then I move on to more abrasive methods.
At first, the fine sandpaper seems to solve the problem but at the end of the video you'll see that the beading returns when I brush more watercolor paint onto it.
The kitchen scrubby seems to offer a slight improvement but I still think it's best to just use the palette and the beading will eventually go away. I believe it helps to allow the paint to dry on the mixing areas before you clean it off.
I don't recommend using harsh solvents or introducing foreign substances into your palette. Solvents may harm the plastic.
