Hullo Lindsay, I have gotten myself in trouble with cute palettes and putting my own tube paints into them! You gave me a 70’s flashback to color selections of harvest gold, burnt orange, avocado greens! My most favorite travel watercolor palette is the Portable Painter! I am so impressed that they are still improving it too! I have several tubes of DaVinci’s 37ml colors so filling extra palettes is super easy and quite affordable as well! I recently purchased several of the Meeden porcelain palettes, the ONLY problem with those is the breakage factor! I am a “dropper” so anyone going that route just think on that! I am enjoying watching this cute palette review!

The classic portable painter is the best travel palette!

This was such a delight to watch! The pallets are both adorable. Here in New Zealand, we don't really have access to these fun things without paying far more shipping than they are worth-so I love living vicariously through you!

I have to say your videos do temp me to get all the goodies, but whenever I did buy stuff after your review I had awesome time with it. I just love your reviews. Having reviews like yours is truly helpful, I learned so much from your videos and although I love to joke that youtube makes me overconsume, I love that I get to see all the new and fun supplies and try them. The whole process is fun, learning about supplies, hunting for them to buy them, and then having to experiment with them and enjoying them repeadetly.

I❤ the bag. It would suit the micro portable palette, it seems. This is such a good size. I like the idea of a carabiner and a ring to hang it on a bag. These are yet to arrive in 🇩🇪. The colours, even if not great quality, would do great for bullet, art journaling or quick abstract watercolour cards. Would you consider a video with the yearly harvest of travel palettes?

Just a recommendation for your videos for those who need to use the Closed Caption accessibility feature, it makes it harder to read and see what you’re doing if everything you’re doing is taking up space all the way at the bottom of the screen where the words are. Giving yourself a bit more space at the bottom of your screen would be super helpful for those who have to use this feature. I have both a hard time hearing as well as have a difficult time processing what is said if I don’t read along with what is said especially in videos or instances where I can’t see the person’s face. So it makes it even harder to follow what you’re doing if I can’t see the words along with not being able to see what you’re actually doing. I know I can’t be the only one who struggles with these things, but it’s often an overlooked thing by those who don’t struggle with issues like these, so I figured I’d mention it as a tip to make it easily accessible for those who do.

I’d seen this, last week I think, saved it because my bestie talked about a tiny palette to take on her and hubbies daily walks. As cute as that first one is…I just don’t see $25. That second one though? Added to my cart and I think I’ll fill them up for her! Now, all I need to do is make a “cover” for her…I think it’s about 5x5 inch, Baohong sampler..18 “pages” of the different Baohong paper, connected at 1 edge. For $11-12, I have found SO many uses for these things! I put 3 together, stamped each page, both sides, with swatch stamps, and I made a cover with cardboard, fabric and tape…I have all professional paints swatched in there..and what I really like is I use the Baohong rough sheets specifically for granulating/separating paints. I have enough room below the stamps to do a small swatch I can lift, or like with some, that have particularly noted effects with salt. A few pages I hadn’t stamped yet and I used them for some of my most used mixes. Liz says I just need to make another “book” solely for mixes and dupes. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi Lindsay. I've been gone for about 6 mos & I'm just getting caught up on your videos & activities for the year. This is a totally off the wall question, but do you ever go fishing when you are out in your kayak? I mean catch & release, I know you don't eat the fish. I ask because I love to fish, and I love the idea of sitting by the lake painting while my bobber is waiting to catch something yummy. Sorry, I am a carnivor, but my daughter & her hubby raise our meat with care and concern for all of their animals. By-the-by, LOVE THIS PALETTE! Yes, I do think it is the cutest little kit. I love that it can hang from a carabiner on my fishing belt! Have a great summer! Sincerely, Teresa (Actually, the next time I go to the lake, I am going to be in it. We are melting out here in the stifling hot Kansas prairie & I dream of floating down a creek in Maine looking for something to paint.)

@thefrugalcrafter

10 күн бұрын

Nope, I never fish. I would imagine catch and release would be terrifying for the fish, and I wouldn't enjoy the chance at torturing and animal for sport. Plus, if it gets so tired out from the struggle, it might get eaten by another animal easily or injured. And the hook has to hurt them. I don't think fishing to sustain yourself is bad. Everyone has to eat, and wild animals have a better life than farmed ones. I don't want to cause unsessesary suffering.

The cobalt blue is fine. Sky blue. I learned from your Michaels lesson sky and water should be different blues 😅. The purple is trash. I mean, good lightfast purples are rare, but pretty non-lightfast purples are easy to find. Is that Paynes grey or black there? Weak black or too-dark grey. 😂. The green also disappoints. Viridian or sap green would both be improvements. My limited palette kinda failed - yellow ochre, Prussian blue, and alizarin crimson make for too-muted paintings. Now I’m using a full 24 color spread - all Cotman except for black, which I feel is lightfast in every brand.

Oh Lindsay? I do not have the micro mini portable painter palette, do you think it would fit into your new lux case? I thought you have one? Just wondering…..

It's pretty close in size. Let me check! Nope, the micro is too long. I love the classic portable painter but the micro missed the mark for me. I don't like fiddling with the lid and assembling it. The thumb peice us awkward and it's too chunky to fit in a pocket. Maybe I'll like it more some day but I love how easy this is to open and go, it's smaller but more practical for me.

I have been tempted to purchase this palette a few times. And just like you I wanted the palette and the case, not the paints. However, I have the mini portable palette so I think it is similar and more time tested. Does your mini portable palette fit in the case?

No, it's too long. I didn't like fiddling with the lid and flaps on the portable painter micro. I those is more practical to me but we are all different.

No need to justify😀
