NEW and super cool Portable Painter Micro Palette is here! πŸŽ‰

This awesome tiny palette is perfectly portable for all your summer travels - it's smaller than a credit card when folded up! Features mixing wells, a convertible water container, and the sturdy base features a T-shaped finger grip for stability while holding. It can also clip onto a sketchbook for hands-free use and includes a lanyard hole for easy carrying.
The Micro comes with six standard-size half-pans BUT we've added a couple of the add-on Custom Pans (available seperately) so it now holds 9 colors! The additional Custom Pans can can be used to expand your range of colors from 6 to 16!! 🀯 AMAZING!!

Wet Paint’s 13th Annual Summer Postcard Project

Draw, paint, or mix up your media on a postcard-sized paper and mail it to Wet Paint! We’re putting together an exhibition of mail art from our friends and fans wherever they may be. As postcards arrive, we will photograph them to share on our social media pages and then display them in our storefront windows. There’s no limit to how many postcards you can send, but in order to participate, postcards have to arrive at Wet Paint via our friendly postal carrier – – no dropping them off at the store!...
