A Mini Watercolor Palette in a Holster? Yes please! Funto Pocket Watercolor Set Review

I bought this palette about 5 minutes after I saw it. I'm not proud of that. I didn't even know if it came with paint or not but I was willing to take a gamble and I have no regrets. I have a feeling they listed it at a low price and it might go up so I wanted to get a review out before that happened.
Funto Pocket Watercolor Set: amzn.to/45K3Eop (affiliate link)
Pros:
*The palette is sturdy and made of thick plastic that is not brittle. The hinges on the palette wings move easily but they do not feel flimsy at all
*The palette is easy to open
*Comes with a swatch sheet, clip, carabineer, and holster
*The holster is well made, the stitching is perfect and it is very lightweight to wear clipped to a belt loop. There is a key ring sewn into the back for attaching it to whatever you like.
*It is beautiful
Cons:
The paint isn't great so I removed it and replaced it with some watercolor I had. You can squeeze paint in the sections after prying out the nuggets of paint it comes with. Each square will hold about a half pans worth of paint but standard half pans will not fit in the squares.
If you are considering buying this for the paint I do not recommend it, instead you can get a better quality in 36 colors from the Meilang/Pretty Excellent set: amzn.to/3KMjgxL
*This is the palette I pulled the pans from, it's the old style and they still have some and its on sale amzn.to/3xpLtHF
If you are buying it for the palette and holster I 100% recommend it! Swap out the paint though.
I also showed a well-made wooden watercolor palette that was empty, here is the link for that if you are interested. I was very surprised at how nice it was for the price. amzn.to/45po31P
*I bought this palette for the palette and I think it was worth the price for the palette. The paint is not great, it is like the Jerry Q Arts palette I reviewed many years ago in this video: • REVIEW: Jerry Q Arts 1... On the upside the colors are vibrant and would be suitable when bright, non-moving color is what you want, especially on cardstock or coloring book pages.

I❤ the bag. It would suit the micro portable palette, it seems. This is such a good size. I like the idea of a carabiner and a ring to hang it on a bag. These are yet to arrive in 🇩🇪. The colours, even if not great quality, would do great for bullet, art journaling or quick abstract watercolour cards. Would you consider a video with the yearly harvest of travel palettes? That wiuld be fun to watch!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yearly harvest 😆 🤣 😂 Maybe!

[@elaineg60]

I’d seen this, last week I think, saved it because my bestie talked about a tiny palette to take on her and hubbies daily walks. As cute as that first one is…I just don’t see $25. That second one though? Added to my cart and I think I’ll fill them up for her! Now, all I need to do is make a “cover” for her…I think it’s about 5x5 inch, Baohong sampler..18 “pages” of the different Baohong paper, connected at 1 edge. For $11-12, I have found SO many uses for these things! I put 3 together, stamped each page, both sides, with swatch stamps, and I made a cover with cardboard, fabric and tape…I have all professional paints swatched in there..and what I really like is I use the Baohong rough sheets specifically for granulating/separating paints. I have enough room below the stamps to do a small swatch I can lift, or like with some, that have particularly noted effects with salt. A few pages I hadn’t stamped yet and I used them for some of my most used mixes. Liz says I just need to make another “book” solely for mixes and dupes. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Neat!

LOL, you startled a laugh out of me by showing us your jeans. 🤣🤣🤣 this palette is adorable! Though I’m strangely relieved that the watercolor paints aren’t great quality. 😂😂😂 no temptation for me. Thank you for the review! The longer I look at the paints, the more they remind me of the IKEA Mala watercolors. I bought that set for the palette box too. I was surprised by how bright yet chalky they were. Sadly I wasn’t able to pry the paints out, so I had to soak them and yeah. It was a fool’s errand. XD But thankfully once the paint was wet enough, I was able to scrap it out.

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Hi Lindsay. I've been gone for about 6 mos & I'm just getting caught up on your videos & activities for the year. This is a totally off the wall question, but do you ever go fishing when you are out in your kayak? I mean catch & release, I know you don't eat the fish. I ask because I love to fish, and I love the idea of sitting by the lake painting while my bobber is waiting to catch something yummy. Sorry, I am a carnivor, but my daughter & her hubby raise our meat with care and concern for all of their animals. By-the-by, LOVE THIS PALETTE! Yes, I do think it is the cutest little kit. I love that it can hang from a carabiner on my fishing belt! Have a great summer! Sincerely, Teresa (Actually, the next time I go to the lake, I am going to be in it. We are melting out here in the stifling hot Kansas prairie & I dream of floating down a creek in Maine looking for something to paint.)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Nope, I never fish. I would imagine catch and release would be terrifying for the fish, and I wouldn't enjoy the chance at torturing and animal for sport. Plus, if it gets so tired out from the struggle, it might get eaten by another animal easily or injured. And the hook has to hurt them. I don't think fishing to sustain yourself is bad. Everyone has to eat, and wild animals have a better life than farmed ones. I don't want to cause unsessesary suffering.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That's a tough one. I love derwent, both as a company and their products and I am afraid of being disappointed. They are student grade and I don't love their old watercolor pencils (inktense are awesome!) So I am hesitant to try them. I'm curious tho!

[@berolinastrassmann]

PS. The deep square part could be used as a water container, if you choose not to use it as a mixing arra. The more I look at it, it reminds me of the micro portable painter. The little green bag is amazing, and a great addition to it

It's about the same size. I didn't like the micro as much, too much fiddling with the set up. I like this better.

[@amyx231]

The cobalt blue is fine. Sky blue. I learned from your Michaels lesson sky and water should be different blues 😅. The purple is trash. I mean, good lightfast purples are rare, but pretty non-lightfast purples are easy to find. Is that Paynes grey or black there? Weak black or too-dark grey. 😂. The green also disappoints. Viridian or sap green would both be improvements. My limited palette kinda failed - yellow ochre, Prussian blue, and alizarin crimson make for too-muted paintings. Now I’m using a full 24 color spread - all Cotman except for black, which I feel is lightfast in every brand.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The water will have the skies blue in it but it is also influenced by other factors like the sand and other stuff in the water.

Oh Lindsay? I do not have the micro mini portable painter palette, do you think it would fit into your new lux case? I thought you have one? Just wondering…..

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It's pretty close in size. Let me check! Nope, the micro is too long. I love the classic portable painter but the micro missed the mark for me. I don't like fiddling with the lid and assembling it. The thumb peice us awkward and it's too chunky to fit in a pocket. Maybe I'll like it more some day but I love how easy this is to open and go, it's smaller but more practical for me.

I have been tempted to purchase this palette a few times. And just like you I wanted the palette and the case, not the paints. However, I have the mini portable palette so I think it is similar and more time tested. Does your mini portable palette fit in the case?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

No, it's too long. I didn't like fiddling with the lid and flaps on the portable painter micro. I those is more practical to me but we are all different.

[@clarefriend1376]

when I saw you pop out the paints I did too! Put them in pans! Put the pans in an Altoid type tin and gave them to a 5 year old friend..

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Good idea!

[@janetsjewellery]

I posted here a few days ago but my comment seems to have vanished so I will try again. I was trying to say something like this; Shame you didn't like the paint. If it was me I would have kept and used the paint as I wouldn't want to waste money. Been there, done that. Some years ago I was curious about an 18 half pan set that was £25. I waited until it went down to £9.99 and bought it. The paints are chalky and don't seem to have much pigment. There was no colour swatch and set has three greens that were placed next to each other so it was difficult to tell them apart. I took the pans out of the palette, rearraged them and pasted them into another plastic box so I can now see what I have. However, I don't use them much because they are not as good as the Winsor and Newton or Pretty Excellent palettes I have.

[@Jlalode]

So cute! Wish they sold it without the paints 😏

Hullo Lindsay, I have gotten myself in trouble with cute palettes and putting my own tube paints into them! You gave me a 70’s flashback to color selections of harvest gold, burnt orange, avocado greens! My most favorite travel watercolor palette is the Portable Painter! I am so impressed that they are still improving it too! I have several tubes of DaVinci’s 37ml colors so filling extra palettes is super easy and quite affordable as well! I recently purchased several of the Meeden porcelain palettes, the ONLY problem with those is the breakage factor! I am a “dropper” so anyone going that route just think on that!

I love everything about it except the 3 colors of green...bag, holder and pallette. It bothers my eye that they are incongruous shades of green. I know, nitpicky😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Lol, I think the palette and case look like the same green family. The pouch is emerald but I probably won't carry that around.

Just a recommendation for your videos for those who need to use the Closed Caption accessibility feature, it makes it harder to read and see what you’re doing if everything you’re doing is taking up space all the way at the bottom of the screen where the words are. Giving yourself a bit more space at the bottom of your screen would be super helpful for those who have to use this feature. I have both a hard time hearing as well as have a difficult time processing what is said if I don’t read along with what is said especially in videos or instances where I can’t see the person’s face. So it makes it even harder to follow what you’re doing if I can’t see the words along with not being able to see what you’re actually doing. I know I can’t be the only one who struggles with these things, but it’s often an overlooked thing by those who don’t struggle with issues like these, so I figured I’d mention it as a tip to make it easily accessible for those who do.

Noted. Thank you.

[@craftykat]

Those are both super cute and I want them both. I am buying way too many art supplies...and I don't yet have the skills to justify it, lol. Having fun though, and I guess there's nowhere to go but up lol.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

True!

[@TheDaisytails]

This is really cute. Not for me though since I hardly go further than my back yard. But I can see how these cute adorable useful little sets could be a passion. Maybe someday.... HUGS

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are addictive!

[@mwGoosman]

Stay until the end..I love the second pallet ❤!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks! It's pretty chic!

[@MorellaReeck]

The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@susanfisher9751]

Now it is $27.99. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@lookupdownAni]

Yes, I was coming back to say that. It seems to go up a dollar every day since this video was released.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Isn't that always the way?

[@lookupdownAni]

@@thefrugalcrafterI have never seen things go up in price everyday.

[@peggydid]

Fun! Thanks!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You bet!

[@LanaGoesArt]

The palette is very adorable and I feel tempted. My favourite moment was the one where you just put it apart and made it work for you. I love this! Make it work for you. :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Oh thank you!

[@louisegrinham2315]

You had me with the word "cute" in the title😂😅❤xxx

[@thefrugalcrafter]

😆 I am such a suckered for a cute palette.

[@amyx231]

I once got a Party City $1 watercolor palette. With the plan to remove the dust bricks and replace with nice tube dots. Broke the plastic case during removal cause I dropped it 😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Oh no!

[@moodyandtheartist]

I've seen that palette sold by Mairtini also! In case you are interested 😊 I don't know if it has the little carry case though.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Interesting

[@vatiammatri2660]

I love that you enable 😊. It's so much fun. Your reviews help with discernment, especially on the paint! That palette is up to $27.99 😂 It's so cute and worth it for the clip-on pouch. I won't be getting it but glad I saw it! Thx! 🎉

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Oh thank you!

[@patticake5311]

Fun review - and what a delightful palette, even if the paint is disappointing. Btw, I have Funto watercolor postcards, and they're not bad.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Good to know!
