The Portable Painter Classic Watercolor Palette is a compact, professional watercolor palette designed for painting anywhere. Roughly the size of a smartphone and weighing just 5.1 oz, it was created by a working watercolor artist to give you full functionality without the bulk or setup hassle.  

Open it up and you have everything you need. Twelve removable empty half pans let you tailor your palette to the way you work, while folding plates with deep wells offer plenty of mixing space. Two detachable water containers clip onto the sides, with built-in brush rests that add stability and make it possible to use hands-free. A double-ended synthetic brush stores inside, with a fine point for detail and a broader end for washes.

The durable, molded case holds its shape and slips easily into a pocket or bag. An anodized aluminum clasp keeps everything securely closed, while the silicone band holds the clasp during use and doubles as a holder for extra brushes, pens, or tools.

Lightweight and ready in seconds, the Portable Painter Classic is perfect for urban sketching, nature journaling, and plein air work. Makes a great gift, too. 



## Expansion Pans, Set of 8  
For added flexibility, Expansion Pans fit into the brush slot, increasing your capacity from 12 up to 15, 16, or even 18 colors while keeping the same compact, pocket-friendly form. The Expansion Pans set includes single-cavity pans that hold approximately 2.25 ml (close to a full pan) and twin-cavity pans with two 1.1 ml wells, ideal for splitting colors or adding smaller accents.


## Half Pans, Set of 12  
Standard Half Pan sets match the original-size wells, making it easy to replace lost pans, swap colors, or rebuild your palette.
