New Wave Grey Pad® Rectangular Paper Palette 11x16, 50-Sheet Glue-Bound Bleed-Resistant Mid-Grey Mixing Surface

The New Wave Grey Pad® is a 11" x 16" rectangular disposable paper palette with 50 glued, neutral‑grey, bleed‑resistant sheets designed for quick, tidy paint mixing across all media.

This handheld paper palette gives artists a large, neutral surface to mix colours and judge value without committing to a permanent palette. Each sheet is a 42‑lb coated paper in a mid‑grey tone that helps colours read more accurately than white and reduces glare. The pad’s sheets are glued on three sides so pages remain flat while you work, and when the session is done you simply tear off the top sheet for instant cleanup.

How does the neutral‑grey surface improve colour mixing?

A neutral grey ground reduces the optical bias of a white background, letting you more accurately compare hues and values while blending. The mid‑grey tone helps you see both light and dark passages without being influenced by a bright white sheet.

• Neutral mid‑grey paper for truer value judgment
• Coated finish for smooth colour movement and clean edges
• Works with oils, acrylics, watercolours and gouache
• 42‑lb weight offers enough tooth without excessive absorbency

Will the sheets stay flat during a messy session or outdoors?

Yes—each pad is bound on three edges to keep pages secured while you mix and move. The coating on each sheet prevents subsequent pages from soaking through, so you can mix wet paints without spreading into lower sheets.

• Glue binding on three sides prevents curl and lifting
• Coated surface resists bleed‑through from wet media
• Sturdy 11" x 16" format provides a roomy working area
• Lightweight pad is portable for plein air painting

How easy is cleanup and disposal after painting?

Cleanup is immediate: once a sheet is used, tear it off and discard it—no rinsing, scraping, or solvent waste required. This makes the pad especially convenient for short studies, demonstrations, classes, or when studio cleanup time is limited.

• Disposable single‑use sheets eliminate palette cleaning
• Glue edges keep the current sheet stable until removed
• 50 sheets per pad provide ample sessions before replacement
• Compact size stores easily with sketchbooks and supplies

What painting media are compatible with the New Wave Grey Pad®?

The coated surface is formulated to work with a broad range of artist materials. Whether you use slow‑drying oil paints, fast‑drying acrylics, or water‑based media, the sheets offer a slick mixing ground that adapts to typical studio workflows.

• Suitable for oil, acrylic, watercolour, gouache, and mixed media
• Slick coating supports smooth blends and clean colour separation
• Paper weight balances absorbency and durability
• Neutral grey helps when matching colour references or photographs

Who is this for: The New Wave Grey Pad® is aimed at painters who want a reliable, portable, and mess‑free palette option—students, instructors, plein‑air artists, and studio painters who prefer disposable surfaces. If you routinely swap colours, teach demonstrations, or need quick setup and teardown, this pad offers a practical, value‑oriented solution made in the USA and sized to fit standard easels and worktables.
