Just how many different kinds of artist's palettes are being sold is anybody's guess.  Speaking for watercolor artists, at an art store or art supply online site, there is a wide variety of palettes available.  One with lots of wells, one with open wells, plastic, porcelain, butcher tray, round, rectangular, large and small... Choices are so many it's overwhelming.  It must be especially so for beginners (I've been there!).

Being able to make a choice is nice, but the problem is, you never know which type works best for you until you actually use it.  After trying several kinds, I decided an open-well type should be ideal for my painting style because it is so easy to pick up paints from wells onto a large mixing area as I paint quite fast.

This is a picture of my palette as I was painting "Venice Canal IV."
