Reddit mentions of Martin Large Clear French Style Acrylic Painting Palette

I have heard that people are generally attracted to either drawing or painting in a polarized fashion. If you aren't finding yourself gravitating toward drawing, painting might interest you. I also spend a lot of time on the computer for work and gaming, so having painting is a nice outlet that is quite different. I will warn that painting can be still pretty physically taxing.

If you are looking at equipment, that sticky post on this subreddit has an amazon wishlist: Wishlist. I'd say that one thing I wish I had gotten first was a Bob Ross pallet like the one he uses in the show: Pallet. Its easier to clean than a wooden one, and its got lots of room for mixing paints. I'd also invest in the "Bob Ross Beater Rack" as this is probably the best way to set up a way to clean your brushes at home. Putting the beater rack into a small office trash can ($5 at some hardware store) contains a lot of the paint thinner. You can just use a (new) empty paint can to contain the paint thinner and the screen. I do also use the Bob Ross paint thinner.
