I've been using these for about a year, and I'm REALLY happy with them. Because I use artist quality paint, the palettes actually hold enough paint for a two-week vacation with the larger size (is that A5?) sketchbook and plenty of paint left over. I have both sizes of Art Toolkits, and they are GREAT for grab-and-go painting days. And I like the palettes so much that I now have FOUR of them with different configurations. I really enjoyed your review. Thank you!

I have both sizes of the Art Toolkit and I love them! I’ve had the large one for a couple of years and it is in great condition, no rust at all. The pans hold a surprising amount of paint and I have not had to refill them yet. I take one or the other everywhere I go and I love the flexibility they provide. I use the binder clips to attach the palette to the sketchbooks so all I have to hold onto is the book itself. I LOVE this product!!

I've had the Art Toolkit since December of 2018 and I use it almost daily! I really don't use the pocket palette that often as I have a really nice compact palette I like to use, but it's still a nice design. The Toolkit itself is really well made and the big feature I want to point out is the zipper. It's really robust and can stand up to a lot of abuse. It's usually the first thing to go and in this case it's a really well made case. It fits a moleskine perfectly, but not a lot of other A5 size books will fit.

I've used the art toolkit supplies for some time now and love them! (the syringe is great for filling the waterbrush, and a tiny mister can be purchased to wet one's pan paints). (the loops on the outside of the cover can hold carbiners, which can attach to a backpack, for example). The great thing about this creation is to make getting out into the outdoors to paint plein air possible, while keeping larger supplies at home. Having purchased the extra mixing wells should help you with water rolling off the edges! Another idea might be to hold your palette on top of your rag/paper towel used for wiping off your brush. That would sop up excess palette water!

I clip the largest mixing pans to either side of the lid to expand the mixing area, which then frees up space in the palette area for more colors. You can use the mini clips in the kit to do that. I got the idea from Cathy Johnson - she did something similar with a mini paint box she made from a candy tin and an extra lid.

Thanks for the nice review! I have used my tine pocket palette for many years and love it! The only drawback is that the pans rust and that has affected some of my yellow paints, they have become miscoloured, the other colours seem ok. Perhaps if they made enamelled pans this problem would go away, or thin plastic ones with a thin magnetic strip under to conectct to the magnet in the bottom. Nice to se the sewn case. I think you can use the straps on the outside to latch on a larger strap to carry the case cross body or over the shoulder, or attach to a larger bag. I use a Lihit lab A5 case, it has a pocket on the outside where the palette and some pencils and a fountainpen brush fits very well and the sketchbook ( Hahnemule watercolourbook A5) fits well inside. I really liked the white mixing pans, I might get some of those, great w the white background to see the mixes.

The contradicting thing about this Art Toolkit is that the palette is tiny slim and super compact while the art tool case is bulky without offering any particular advantage in number of items that it can hold. If you put the same number of art tools in any cheap pouch ( those acrylic with a zipper) they will occupy the one third of space of this case in any sketching bag.

When I started using my own homemade business card palette I found I had plenty of paint to do a month of a mix of sketch and wash and regular style paintings. Now that I am using Maria's version with the small pans I find I have a lot more freedom to paint because weight is no longer a factor. I will say one thing about attaching the smaller art tool kit via loops to a bag. Be aware of people around you at all times! My art tool kit was stolen off of my main bag by a thief. I recovered the badly damaged tool kit bag but none of its contents except the ruler and a single pen. I now use a small but strong locker lock when attaching it to any bag. Very expensive mistake to make.
