Is the lid easy to get off? I have a very old John Pike and it is quite difficult to get the lid off.

It is difficult to remove the lid even doing as suggested. Seems my fingers are not strong enough and I struggle to remove.

How many paint wells does it have? I can't tell from the photo whether the hidden side has paint wells.

The 1st John Pike palette I bought had 20 wells.The second one I purchased with large wells for large brushes has not arrived yet, but was advertised as having 18 wells despite the fact when I looked at the image it appeared to have 20.

Do paints mix easily on the palette or do they bead up?

When it is brand new, watercolor beads up. This is very temporary and resolves after a few times of wiping off the paint. To avoid it altogether, put a little baking soda on a paper towel and "scour" the surface where you mix your paints. Rinse well. Ready to go. It's a great palette!

is this palette small well

This is the small well palette with wells approximately 1" breadth and 1 1/2" width. The corner wells are 1 1/2"width at the front and 2 3/4 width at the back and 1" breadth. The big well palette is approximately 1 1/4" breadth and 1 3/4" width. The corner wells are 1 1/4" squares. I hope this helps.
