THE QUICK TAKE

Is it right for you?

Pick it for a portable painting kit with brush storage. The middle tray keeps compatible brushes separate from the damp painting surface, while the shallow bottom tray leaves easy access to your mixes.

A simpler palette is better if you do not need the extra tray. Reviewers note that the insert is needed for the lid to close properly. This is a compact mixing area, so large batch-painting sessions can fill it quickly.

01 / BUYING NOTES

Before you buy.

01

Paint on the paper, not the foam.

Place a Hydro Sheet over the damp foam. Add water carefully so the surface is hydrated without leaving pools that make thin paints run.

02

The red layer holds the brushes.

The removable red insert has brush-rest slots. It separates compatible brushes from the wet palette beneath; it is not extra mixing space.

03

Keep all three layers together.

Fit the brush insert before closing the lid, then use the strap to secure the stack. The insert is part of this palette’s closure.

Owners report keeping paint workable through extended sessions, with some retaining wet paint between sessions using the strap. One notes that paint separated even while the palette remained moist, so retained moisture did not mean the mixes stayed unchanged.

The mixing area suits an owner using a modest selection of colors, while another wishes it were larger. An owner also finds the lid awkward as a spare working tray and says closing it requires the brush insert.

The reviewer liked the materials and useful brush insert, but found that the palette cannot close without that insert. They saw brush storage as the deciding difference from a simpler wet palette.
