Too heavy, and traps all your paper while the top sheet is wet. I bring tubes carryon in my liquids/gels allotment. I mean – it *might* last a week, but I’ve never left myself in that position to run out :) Not to sound all scolding, I’m just a nervous Nelly about bringing my tubes even if I don’t need them. I get to the bottom of a half pan in 3 days maximum – The important color in a location anyway – green in Ireland. ![]() But do you mean just the palette and no tubes? I couldn’t go month painting every day. The Meedan looks like regular half pans, so that’s what I use. Maria says this will be good for 15% off, from now until March 31st. ![]() If you’re interested in ordering a few of the new pans, or a complete ready-to-go kit, head over to the Expeditionary Arts store, and use the discount code: HOLMES at checkout time. Whatever reason you find to go on an art expedition! Sketching in the cafe, on a long flight, or taking a sketchbook backpacking. I did these at the aquarium, but this little paint kit is perfect for any situation where space or weight is a concern. I could add a few more specialty shades, such as Lunar Black, or Tyrian Purple. In fact, I used the larger rectangular pans for whites and blacks in this test setup, going forward I’ll just get more mini-squares. Yes, I could mix these colors – but by having three values of tubes in each row, I can make gradients faster, and get the wet-in-wet fusion I enjoy. I get a light-to-dark gradient by letting the strokes fuse on their own. ![]() I’m placing touches of full strength pigments – Olive green, Perlyne green, Green Gold – then an accent such as the Turquoise – and of course the intense Pyrrol Orange on the breast – but never ‘smudging’, no manual blending – simply placing the colors right next to each other. You can see, in these yellow-green lorikeets, especially on the left, and upper right, exactly how I use my rows of color. If I ever wanted the larger trays, I’d just bring my normal 3×5″ kit.īasically, these half-pans (which I’d personally call 1/8ths) allow me to approximate my standard palette in miniature. In the end, I’d rather have tiny amounts of more colors, instead of larger pans of fewer, knowing I’ll only be using this for a dab of color on a sketch, or maybe a postcard-sized piece. Something discreet to bring to a live event, a cafe, or a museum. I doubt anyone’s going to rely on this tiny kit as their only palette for a month-long vacation. It’s perfect for what this palette is designed for. ![]() The new mini-square holds just a dot of color, only a bit more than the cap of a watercolor tube. The design remains the same as the original version, up-cycling pre-existing cases for 2×3″ business cards, but this update makes improvements to the magnetic tins, which should eliminate a problem with the trays rusting.īut more importantly – she’s introduced a super-cute square tin she calls a half-pan, which I find to be a perfect size. Maria Coryell-Martin at recently sent me the next generation of her ultra-compact Pocket Palette. This is kind of timely news, as I’m planning to use this new piece of kit for #OneWeek100People2018. ![]()
