3 Great Watercolor Palette Boxes and which one is my favorite

[@exploringwatercolors]

Thank you for doing this! I love the point that the other one you showed had 3 mixing wells and enough space for 6 primary colors vs the others that had 4. I think it's these little details that make all the difference when selecting products! :)

Thank you for your comment. I’m glad I could add more perspective to these great products.

I like all of them. I do think little is better for a pocket pack though. I have one small Windsor and Newton box I think I bought it almost 30 years ago. One of my kits was just bottle caps in a cute old box. Used that forever it seems. It's fun to look at other people's stuff and how they organize it all. Thanks

Thank you for your comment. These kits are really neat. They all have unique features to use for many places.

Hello there! Thank you for showing off different tins. Have you ever recorded how do you remove the racks from the tray?

[@ArroLyfeArt]

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I haven’t done a video for that but would be happy to soon. Thanks for the tip.

@@ArroLyfeArt By the way, are the racks in the Rosa Gallery tin clip on? If I understand the advertising correctly that would be brilliant!

Hi. So I went and looked. The long tins (24 half pan) have the racks wedged and almost clamped on the tray. I tried to take them off one before and had to use pliers. I ended up bending and damaging the tray and threw the tray and racks (still attached) out. The small tin (12 half pan), the racks are attached to the tray by a grove that they are simply popped in. The racks can easily be popped off the tray. I hope this helps.

@@ArroLyfeArt Thank you! I think maybe they changed the tins at some point? Because product photos suggest that that the long Rosa Gallery tins that have three rows/racks on the tray also can be popped off. I haven't found anyone showing it off online yet thought and I wanted to make sure I understand correctly szal-art.pl/images/product_images/popup_images/13808_2.jpg I love this solution so much! I largest area possible to attach pans with magnets, but I also don't want to destroy the racks

I used to do plein aire and my favorite was a 18 half pan palette made by schminke available from WET PAINT. it balanced perfectly even when my hand began shaking. I took out metal pan holder due to weight and because I could use a plastic sheet ( cut to size) and with adhesive dots could put in 21. 1/2 pans or if traveling to an area that I would be near a beach, woodland and city I could get in even more 1/4 pans. There were only 2 areas for washes but in the other side there were many mini areas for mixing small amounts of paint.. Since I did botanticals along with landscapes I found that I needed more convience colors. That way I spent less time mixing colors and needed a smaller mixing pallet.....my studio mixing pallet is 10×14...and no way would anyone take that afield.

Hello, i was looking at buying the Leeong one with the three mixing areas. Do the 3 mixing areas lay flat or are they at a slight angle. Some of them do that and would be a deal breaker for me. Thanks

[@ArroLyfeArt]

Hi. So I went and opened it to test it. I wish I could show pictures here. It does open flat but is a tiny bit off the surface. While open and you tap the 3 mixing area lid, it would be a little wobbly. It is not slanted though. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to send any more questions. I’d be happy to try and answer them.
