Can confirm as a miniature watercolorist who works with size 4 round or smaller and has ended up with many tubes of paint, that the etchr/stephanie law palette is bomb.

Too small and delicate for me. It stresses me out just seeing how careful you have to be to pick up colors.

Runeet Gill just under $50 American. I don’t care, I bought it anyway.

I like the concept but I would prefer a bigger palette that I can maybe put 20 colors in and use up to size 12 brushes with. This one is cute but not super suitable for the type of painting I do which uses a limited palette but requires a lot of mixing. I love porcelain palettes they are easy to clean and the watercolor doesn’t beed up. The commercial porcelain palettes that offer up to 20 color wells are enormous even for a studio environment. Maybe Etcher can consider a design that’s in between this product and the much larger commercially available ones. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you reviewed this tiny little workhorse palette. True, it's not for everyone but I got in on the kickstarter and have been using it for several months now for urban sketching and art journaling. I will say that for me it's most convenient to use with a water brush. It is heavy for its size but not as fragile as it seems. To keep it from clanking inside the tin I've layered a piece of the included felt, the mixing tray, another piece of felt, and finally the palette tray. When I'm finished painting, instead of putting a piece of felt on top of still-wet paints, I like this solution: I filled in her printed template when I put my colors in the palette, laminated it on both sides with a couple pieces of clear tape and trimmed around the circle, then attached a little tab of washi tape which sticks up enough for me to easily pull the paper out. This is what I put in on top of the paints before I close the lid. It keeps the palette from knocking against the lid and keeps the paints under control, and has made it one useful little palette indeed. Sometimes I really like having all my options with me!

I loved the idea of this palette back when I first saw it.... but couldn't justify the purchase of it. 1) Too heavy for a travel palette in my opinion (for backpack/non-car travel) 2) Me being a klutz, I would HATE to risk breaking it out of the house (the replacement cost would make me cry alone) 3) Maybe too small (but adorable!) for a desk palette... but haven't counted it out yet 4) Just too expensive considering it's limitations/cons despite how much i love small/mini things (at this stage at least) I settled on the Artist Toolkit/Expeditionary Art Pocket Palette instead for travel. It is also doubling as my home palette with a ceramic plate..... Now to find a well/mixing option for larger amounts of liquid that I am happy with for water colour and acrylic (for tabletop minis).

Carly what i use on my desk for mixing is a ceramic egg dish with 12 deep wells which is great for diluting skin tones, paid less than $5 at tjmaxx type store

In an ideal world, I would own one of these and paint with a brush that just has a single hair.

I always spay paint my metal palettes with Rust-Oleum for outdoor furniture.

Thanks for the review! Helpful as always! Got the 19 well porcelain palette !

Thank you for the video! What a neat little pallet. So nice for traveling.

Love the porcelain, however very unpractical, and much too pricey! Thank you!♥️

Purchased mine for travelling but find it so useful I use it everywhere. I paint with up to size 6 brush size but mostly 2 and 4. Love the choice of colours it gives me.

I love the idea of this palette! I paint a lot of small details, so I use hardly any paint at all. I find that half pans last me many years. This isn't the worst, but over many years it's easy to end up with contamination, dust, hair, and potentially mold, or some form of deterioration. Recently I decided to try finding products that hold small quantities of many colors, and it's not easy. It's nice to see something like this. I will definitely be adding it to my wishlist!

I love how he says the word “palette”

Thank you for the demo! I just purchased a 3 journal set of Etchr watercolor journals and the mini palette would be a great idea to go with it.

I have her original one and I love the small size! I filled it with Daniel smith paints and the paint has lasted me months. I let the paints dry and then kept filling it until each well was full and it was ready to go. I do paint small. And believe or not, I use a size 9 sable brush.

I got one of these when they launched and while I love the 37-well palette for travelling, I do not get on with the mixing palette and found myself frequently reaching for one with more room. In addition they are both together very very heavy....more than my extremely chunky Samsung Note 8! I love the concept of this palette set but honestly I really wish it was made of plastic or something more lightweight and less breakable than porcelain and that there was more mixing room. Also the felt separators are made out of a fabric that sheds a LOT of lint! So I got rid of those very quickly. The concept of this palette is great but it's not so practical in execution. I found myself going back to my 8-pan metal tin very quickly.

Interesting review! Cute palette. Probably good for flower painters, but for landscape and sketching, too many colours may result in confusion. Porcelain should/can not stain, so I agree it is the best surface for mixing. One could easily pack a small plate instead, along with a limited palette. Would not be the end of the world if it broke. I do not think I would dare to bring such an expensive palette as this round one outside, though. I really apprecite reviews such as these, though. It is reallty interesting to see the inventiveness painting brings out in people.

I love your honest reviews

It... doesn’t even come with colours

Thanks for the review. I remember Stephanie’s kickstarter for this palette, it’s a lovely little palette and mixer, a really great design, however, I wish she had made the paint wells twice the size - giving room for 18 colours (that would equate to almost half pan size) instead of the 36 tiny wells. An 18 well version would have been perfect palette imho and I would then buy it as it would also mean a no 6 or even 8 brush could be used. 12 colours are more than enough for me as I like a limited palette so normally work with no more than 6 colours anyway, so 18 would be a bonus, and while I could fill 2 wells with the same colour going round on this 36 well version, I would still have the bump in the middle to deal with which may damage the brush. It is a nice palette though, and I would be the first to buy an 18 well version!

Great review! Your voice is so relaxing

Thanks for another awesome review!

When I've seen those mini palettes, I noticed that people tend to paint small pieces, 4x6 or less. I imagine they also would work well with artist trading card painting. As far as brushes, I'm thinking #2 or less; perhaps a #4, depending on the manufacturer's sizing which can vary widely. I wish manufacturers would come up with one agreed upon brush size standard. It would make brush shopping (especially online) SO much easier.

Great review! 💯👌

I think I might enjoy this mini palette. I wouldn't fill up with colors side by side to avoid contamination, but I could still carry enough variety and quantity of paint to do decent work out and about. My current favorite thing to do now that its getting cold out is to paint at coffee shops and this is perfect for that.

Oh wow so tiny lovely😍😍

Good idea to mix colors.

Realy pretty material.

This is so hard to use, I don’t understand why the price have to be so high

Wonderful

I heard they are going to make a palette with larger wells.

I have one (from the first kickstarter) because I paint a lot of detailed ACEOs (6,4x8,9cm) and it's absolutely great for that and for travelling :D Most of my other palettes sit in my shelf unused since i got them, even my beloved Compact II palette from Jacksonsart.

It seems like something someone could just squeeze small amounts of paint in, let dry, and just carry around like a book...& each page could have different colors...

Small and expensive. A box filled with half pans and a little porcelain plate can do the job just as well for the fraction of the price. Not so cute for Instagram pictures,but who cares 😄. Love your videos Teoh!

I like porcelain because it doesn't stain the way plastic does. If I had that palette, I am pretty sure that I would not fill all of those tiny paint wells. I'd be concerned with cross contamination. I don't know if I would use any brush bigger than a 4 and more likely, a 2. My finished painting would probably be business card size; so, very small. I do like the idea of portable porcelain. My porcelain palette is bigger and a bit heavy to haul around should I wish to go to the park to paint.

The tin should have been designed better. For fragile palettes that are so expensive, I don't want to have to tip the whole thing over to dump them out. Also, if you still have unused paint in the wells and put it back in the tin for transport... how are you supposed to get the palette back out again without making a mess?

They now make a palette with 19 wells, so they're better for bigger brushes! The price is the same though :')

I work too big to ever use this, but thanks for the review!

Too small for me, but I do think it would be good if you painted cards or small plein air studies.

Dainty yet it can carry a lot!

Yeah.. I think this is a major fail all around....especially the price. Better off buying a soap dish and using some polymer clay to make some wells... I can buy 2 porcelain soap dishes and a block of clay for $8 on Amazon......

I was excited about this when it first came out but it is way too delicate for me. It is cute but the paint wells are too tiny for me.

They've just come out with a 19 palette one, I think that'll be much more useful than 37 tbh. I really want one, but not until I can get one from within the EU - it's pricey enough as it is without having to add 25% import VAT + a €7 declaration fee 😬 I love the idea of a porcelain palette, though of course I could just chuck a small ceramic plate in my art kit and save myself some money... don't care, still want one 🤷

If they made these on a larger scale they would be really good.

i think the concept of this is very interesting and i can understand why people would be attracted to this product. but i feel like the size of the pans for the paint are a bit too small and would require constant refilling of watercolours, which can be really inconvenient. personally, i use a lot of paint when i draw because of how much i draw, and the idea of only having a small drop of paint is a big problem for me. but i think people who like small artwork and use small size paint brushes would love this palette!

It is cute but for Plein air not very handy. And the color wells are too small, yes you can get a lot of different colors in it, but you cant get a brush in it and all the colors will run into each other. Being porcelain how do you attach it to any thing ? No tables out doors. Nope not for me.
