Watercolor book palette1/3/2024 Cotman watercolors are fine for beginners, but when you're ready to upgrade, the prefilled pans remove easily.* This box is affordable, durable, and super portable, and it also comes with a fairly decent albeit tiny brush. I've given away a few of these at the blog and this is also the palette that I recommend to beginning sketchers because it's so darn nifty. It's also extremely portable, though some honey-based pigments stay too moist in its nearly airtight, plastic casing to transport those without incident. I recently converted this $1 first aid kit into a palette that holds 18 full pans, and I use it all the time. (You can read more about it here.) It's the palette I currently keep at my desk because its compact size is a great space saver. To keep my pan sizes consistent, I've stayed with this brand so it's easy to exchange colors or rearrange my pans into another palette. This was the first empty watercolor palette and pans I ever purchased, and though it's far from cheap, it has lasted! Schmincke's heavy duty full pans are all I use, in studio and in the field, because their convenience can't be beat. This brand has been available for a while on Amazon. The pans aren't as high quality as the Schmincke ones (see #4), but the price per pan is hard to beat. Meeden sells the pans in sets that include various palettes, or you can purchase the tins and pans separately. (Hint hint!) This little palette is as sturdy as the expensive name brand ones, and the pans are quite nice also. Plus, I'm always looking for giveaway ideas. I just purchased one of these to check the quality. There's no prepped mixing surface, but if desired, that's an easy DIY. I have the large tin, and it will hold 24 American Journey half pans, 12 American Journey full pans, or 15 Schmincke/generic full pans (see #3 & 4). This is a new addition to the American Journey line, and with the exception of the compact set, the tins and pans are sold separately. ( List contains affiliates.)
