Artist PaletteI have recently found this wonderful palette! It is made by Hommee (also called Heritage Palette) and is available though Curry's in Canada and Cheap Joe's in the States.
Here's what Joe has to say about it:
The Heritage Folding Palette is a great travel palette that won’t put a crimp in your travel plans! The Heritage Folding palette is one of the nicest travel palettes that we have seen in a while. It’s unusual because the lid doubles as a hearty sized mixing area that has a clear removable plastic tray. This tray can also be used as a second mixing area! In addition the lid has a soft plastic seal, which keeps the palette from leaking and keeps your colors from drying out so quickly. Each well in this palette holds approximately 5ml. of paint. Here’s a tip! If you hold the tube over the deep end of the well then come back towards the shallow end while squeezing the tube, then hold the palette in both hands & gently tap the palette on a flat surface- the paint settles nicely in the wells. 18 Wells

Couldn't have said it better myself, so I didn't!
You may wish to fill the wells ahead of time and give the paint a chance to set up before you hit the sky.
Bring a palette that you like and that fits into a zip lock bag. You may wish to hunt around for an additional mixing surface, such as a white plastic plate. I have a tray from my last flight to France that the flight steward gave to me - honest!
I've include a collapsible water container and mist bottle in this picture - complete with their own plastic bag.

I took your advice and purchased the "Hommee Palette" for the painting trip to Alaska. It worked so very well. Ron
Hello everyone! We are trying to find out how much cash (Euros) to bring with us for expenses away from le Monastere (lunches, excursions, etc.) because the places we visit may not accept credit cards. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!

Hi Judy and Wayne, Susan and I are thinking 500 Euros each. We're not big on gifts etc. but we do like to eat on a regular basis. Too much? Too little? What do you think? Anyone out there? Ron and Susan Maffett
