(12.25 x 15.75).  Perfect for holding 1/4” size sheets.

What should I order if I want to do both Watercolor and Oil & Acrylic?

We recommend ordering either our Advanced Series Oil & Acrylic Package or our Professional Series Oil & Acrylic Package then adding our Advanced Series Watercolor Palette Shelf with Cover (see this item in Palettes tab.)
