Abstract
An artist's palette is shown having surface roughness values conducive to wetting, spreading and suspension maintenance of water color, acrylic and other pigment media. Porous materials having selected permeability versus open porosity are disclosed which are useful both as in a palette substrate as well as a color pot in a reservoir system module that provides extended pigment suspension life. Interchangeable color pots receivable in modules which in turn are receivable in work boxes are disclosed providing optimum artist flexibility.
