NEW and super cool Portable Painter Micro Palette is here! 🎉

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!!
