Watercolor travel palette & kit idea.

thingiverse

We're a Creative Agency, and some of us love to hit the streets with our sketchbooks in hand. We wanted tools that wouldn't get in the way, so we designed a portable watercolor set that's durable, smart, and easy to use. This kit is the result of trial and error, and we hope you'll love it as much as we do. Here are its key features: - The traditional "halfpans" used for this purpose are square, but our palette has a more user-friendly round shape since it's designed for tubes. - Four strong magnets (5 x 5 x 2 mm) on the back provide perfect stability, letting you use it straight out of the box or attach it to any surface with a semi-permanent connection. - A small handle makes it easy to remove from its packaging and take outside. - Pan size is our choice, but feel free to adjust it; we wanted some larger pans for mixing colors or your favorite shades. Our kit includes: - A sturdy 3D printed palette with neo-magnets glued in place using Superglue (cyano acrylate). - A Kaweco fountain pen box (12 x 5.5 x 2.3 cm) painted white inside for better color mixing. - A KOI waterbrush (Medium size), its cap shortened and reattached, for easier use. - A Face washing sponge cut in half to fit snugly inside the box. - Winsor & Newton watercolor paints - you can choose your own colors. - An extra magnet for painting standing up: simply place it under a page, put the box on top, and it'll clamp onto the other side of the paper, staying secure even when tilted. - Some elastic to keep the box closed in your bag after heavy use (though it's not strictly necessary since the box closes tight - just extra peace of mind). - A Micron Pigma fineliner (01 on this photo), a Leuchtturm pen holder, and a Moleskine Watercolor pocket for added convenience.
