I like to have several mixing wells to keep my colors clean. I must give Maria Coryell-Martin all the credit for these three wonderful, magnetic palettes I now use and love. The plastic pans are deeper than the tin pans and I don't have to refill them as often.Īltoid Smalls Watercolor Art Pocket Watercolor Travel PaletteĬustomized Business Card Watercolor Pocket Palette: I glue small pieces of magnetic strips onto the bottom of the plastic pans to hold them securely to the tin bottom while also allowing for easy removal to clean or to change my choice of pigments.
By placing a small magnetic strip on the lid I have added two round mixing wells that can stay attached when the lid closes. The two problems with my original design of the Mini Altoid Pocket Painter Palette was that it provided only one well for mixing pigments, making it difficult to keep my colors clean and expressive and the plastic pans sometimes fell out. Mini Altoid Palette with magnetic mixing wells Mini Altoid Tin Watercolor Art Pocket Palette: I arrange them (as shown above) as they would fall on the color wheel so that i don't confuse my blues and I won't get muddy violets by mistake. My standard six-pigment palette is Gamboge, Aureolin, Joe's Blue (phthalo), Ultramarine Blue, Permanent Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Red Light. The magnetic square on the bottom keeps the wells in place and allows for easy removal of each pan for cleaning and refilling. Thanks to the deep lid, I can paint sketches that require larger areas of a wash while still keeping three separate color mixes clean (in the little wells).
I use the three little wells in the middle to keep my mixes clean. I only need six pigments, a warm and cool of each primary. I love that I can see through the lid so that I know which primaries I'm taking with me and when I need to refill the wells.
