A wooden palette has a smooth, lightweight surface that is also rigid. It also has warm tones that help artists see colors with greater clarity when painting. To seal a wood palette make use of boiled linseed oil as well as a lint free rag or high quality paper towel. Rub the oil on the surface of the palette. Repeat every day, both back and front. Wooden Palettes for Oil Painters Oil paints are readily available when you work with the wooden palette. This makes it a lot easier to mix your colors and move them around your canvas or board. It's also a great way to keep your brushes close at hand. I've discovered that using a palette like this can reduce the amount of time I'm moving my body to grab and reload my brushes. I've also noticed that it aids with my precision and consistency. You can buy wood palettes that have been sealed and stained (to resist water as well as conventional solvents for artists) or you can buy unfinished ones and stain them yourself. Sealing the wood prior painting will allow it to absorb less oil from your oil paints. Pour a small amount of Linseed onto the palette, and then rub it in using a lint-free, clean rag. After that, clean off any excess and your palette is now ready to use. I prefer to tone the linseed prior to using it by adding a few drops to an oil medium that is brown, like burnt sienna (or yellow ochre). This helps me see the shadows I'll create in my paintings. It also lets me visualize how the colors will look against the wood. Tone also helps me distinguish between dark and light values in my paintings. A wooden palette that has been well-used will develop a gorgeous patina over time. It will get more opaque and smooth, thanks to the oil you used in your paints staining it a bit and the pigments merging together to form their own varnish
