Why is everyone raving over this $29 EMPTY palette?

I was quite skeptic but I finally bought it and I was charmed. It's surprisingly small but it's really comfortable and easy to use. I thought it will be too small but it's not. I put 15 colors by using the place where the brush sits and that's more than enough.

That said, I didn't like the tiny one. Really, that's too small and it's more a gadget than something useful in my opinion but thankfully everyone has one [an opinion] 😉

Excellent review Emily.

Great review and beautiful paintings. It looks to be worth the money. Thank you!

Fun review! Another great product to help get us painting outdoors. I like that is has two water containers.

Outstanding work, as usual! Several months ago, I bought the same set from Amazon. I was just going to buy the original, but then I saw the combo pack. I have not tried the mini yet. The original I bought to take out on my patio to paint, so I did not have to make several trips with my regular palette, brushes, etc. It has worked out really well. Genius design!

Oh, forgot to comment a tutorial on rocks would be most welcome. You have captured them so well.

I purchased too though I have not used much for plein air painting. I take as a travel palette. I do like it. Thank you for the excellent review.

Awesome review ❤

The palette is adorable. Seems more suited for small brushes. Did you have to prime the mixing area so it didn’t bead up?

Have you noticed if the palette stains? That’s the one problem I have with plastic palettes. Maybe you know some trick to keep them from staining?

I love the 2 rock paintings!

I'm a sucker for materials and art books - its bad ^^° I should paint more with the things I have. But I'll keep this little feller in mind - you never know :D

I made a DIY copycat version, but I need to get the real thing! I love your paintings on this video!

I have both sets and love them. I love them even more after purchasing additional pan configurations from the originator. My micro now holds 16 colors instead of 6 and the larger palette holds 18 colors instead of 12. And I have additional half pans, quarter and full pans for different configurations. Nice review and great to see it in action. Love your paintings and channel.

im so use to travel palettes with only 6 wells in them that this one looks huge to me lol

I love the fact that this has 2 water containers, looks like another item for my Christmas wish list.... 😂 Thank you for the review.

Great review video!

Thank you . Your on site paintings are lovely

Great review! And you look like a body builder! Awesome!

The 2 people who disliked are jelly.

I love the portable painter classic. Favorite palette yet. I take it everywhere! Also they just came out with a new line of custom paint pans for the portable painter palettes. No more washed space for the brush I don't use!

Thanks for the review, I saw this about a year ago, but couldn't remember who reviewed it or the brand

Really impressive! 👏👏👏🇳🇿

😍😍😍😍😍

They have even added new 1/4 pans to this set-up and for those wanting more paints to come along with them it works quite nicely! Good practical review and pleasant presentation too! Thank You!

really nice paintings in your sketchbook! you really captured the feeling of the scenes.

Hi Emily, love your videos. So out of all the ones you have tried, W&N versions, is this now your favourite plein air combo ?

Very nice painting skills. I'm not convinced by the product though. I've seen more practical DIY versions. I can see why some people might like it though, because it has been designed well.

I have this portable painter and absolutely love it for Plein air! It’s so easy to set up and take down…..and easily sits on my leg…..so my hands are free to paint! Genius design!

Agree on the thumbs up! It’s easy to pack and use. Takes up minimal space on my carry on and the layout works perfectly! What’s your recommendation on travel brushes? Thanks for the overview!

Cool video. like your paintings! good job

Waaaw so beautiful! The rocks are really extra! I find that difficult de painting all this cracks realistisch ànd loose. Merci for this demonstation and your comment on this fieldset.

It’s hard to tell her those half pans or full pens?

This is a wonderful design. I've had one for a few years and love it.

Rock paiting is great . Thks sharing the travel ideas

I liked your video, but when you said 30 dollars seemed like a lot to pay I had to laugh... try justify buying it if you happen to live in Canada GROSSLY OVERPRICED !

Great review!

A question for those of you who have used this for plein air: what do you do with the dirty water after painting??

I often see open vessels for plein air, integrated into the palette itself or used separately but I always wonder what to do with used water when painting in the middle of nowhere, with nowhere to safely dispose of the used water without harming nature

That's why I always bring sealable jars, then dispose of the used water safely at home

Thank you. Useful!
