Now, at last, the Wandering Painter readies herself for wilder places. She rents a cupboard to store her bulkier, more technical tools, like her camera obscura and perspectographs. Out in nature, she’ll draw free-handed. She packs a rucksack with only the essentials, such as a folding wooden palette and a minimal selection of paints to mix. In the cities, she often works in oils, but they are slow-drying, expensive, and occasionally stodgy. The solvents are too heavy to carry. So, in the warmer months, she works in fluid watercolors, layering their tints. The Painter gives you a tiny palette of your own for the adventure, along with a few paints and a brush. When not painting, you can also fill your wooden palette with beads or medicinal tablets.

Your diminutive wooden paint palette features a magnetic closure, four hollows for paint (or teeny-tiny treasures), and a spot to experiment with color blending.  When open, it measures about 1.75 x 3.75 inches.  It is accompanied by 3 tubes of premium watercolor paint and a brush.
