The angle of the palette is adjustable — it is held by two movable arms connected to the support rail with strong bolt joints.
The tilt angle is easy to change, and the arm resistance can be adjusted with a wrench (wrench included).
The support rail can also be permanently attached to the movable part of studio easels (see video for details).

Height adjustment is quick and offers a wide range (depending on the design of your easel).
For example, on a standard Lyre-type easel, the support rail height ranges from 78 to 130 cm (approximately 30.7 to 51.2 inches), making it comfortable to work both sitting and standing — even for tall users.

Additional attachments: a brush cup or an oil container can be mounted on the sides (two bolts with round eyelets are included for this purpose).
Thanks to the close placement of the palette to the canvas and the reference, the color matching process becomes easier and more accurate. This is achieved through the following factors:
Such a setup teaches the artist to think on the palette, to compare, and to work with minimal corrections — without smearing or dirtying the canvas. This is especially helpful for beginners.
- Both planes are positioned perpendicular to the artist’s line of sight.
- The palette and the canvas are illuminated identically.
- The distance from the artist’s eyes to both surfaces is equal.
- The planes are placed as close to each other as possible, forming a single working space.

This arrangement is also important for preserving eyesight. When both planes are at the same distance and under the same lighting conditions, the eyes experience almost no strain during frequent comparisons, since there is no need for constant accommodation due to changing viewing distances.
The eye muscles do not need to refocus each time to different distances.
In addition, equal lighting of the palette and the painting minimizes the so-called pupillary reflex — the pupils do not have to constantly dilate or constrict in response to varying levels of reflected light.
All of this makes the work more comfortable and, without question, reduces visual fatigue.
This palette pairs well with a reference holder.

The instrument is made of beech wood (the rear rail is birch).
The palette itself is made of tinted and lacquered birch plywood.
The entire piece is coated with a three-component alkyd varnish, resistant to most solvents.
Oil paints can be mixed directly on the palette surface. The varnish coating easily withstands this type of use.
An additional insert palette is also available for purchase.
