I have a tons of watercolor palette. I biy a lot and like to try But i keep going back with this one. Its THIN you can have them on top of another without falling, you can place the pans like you want and they dont move. I just looove it. I just wish they had different pattern and solid colors.

Exactly what I wanted to have both warm and cool colors available in half pans, but separated and organized.

Such a cute tin for my gansai tambi watercolors. It came well packaged in a brand box with cushioning. The tins came with 20 full pans and 3M magnetic strips. I got this to use with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor XL full pans. I used 3 magnetic strips per pan and even used the extra to adhere a swatch card to the lid. The magnetism appears to have a good hold.I have since purchased a couple and would definitely purchase more if there were more color/design options. One tin came out of the brand box with a dent. Not only did I get a refund, the company reached out personally to me to see if there was anything they could do to remedy the situation including refund or replacement. Amazon returns are nice but personalized customer service speaks to the integrity and level of care this company takes in both their products and consumers.

Fantastic! Absolutely stunning palette. It comes with magnet stickers for easy refills. Fantastic at home use or compact little for travel.

This worked out great for storing my arteza gouache paints. I wasn't using the paints because they come in tubes in a large box and weren't convenient. I bought the palette and now use the paints all the time because they are so easy to access! The magnets are strong and firmly hold the pans in place and the pans fit nicely. I will buy more for my acrylic and watercolor paints. Things tend to get used more when they have quick access. The price is good because it includes the metal case, pans, and magnets. There are many designs so you can put your acrylics in one design, gouache in another, etc for quick identification.

This palette is everything I wanted! It's compact and lightweight - easy to hold in one hand - but still holds a lot of pans. The pans came with magnets to put on them, and I'm glad they're not already on them, because I have some pans from a different set I want to switch out and put magnets on, so this allows some versatility without having to buy more magnets/pans separately. I put one of the magnets on one of the pans to test, and it worked perfectly. The tin is also really easy to open and close, but won't come open on its own. AND, bonus, it's really pretty, and the picture is printed on both sides. It's so nice that I'm tempted to order a second one already! Highly recommend!UPDATE: I filled up the first one already and ended up getting a second one. I love these tins!

This little palette is gorgeous! I bought the roses print on the outside. LOVE IT. The print is a constant on outside: top, sides, bottom. If others are all as nice, I will probably buy more of them. Seems very well-made. About same size as a cell phone. The lid separates from the bottom and fits nicely when closed. (Have not yet tested if leak proof.) 8 across + 5 down - the little plastic containers. 80 peel-off magnets. I agree with another reviewer that these palettes could all be a bit better if inside of lids were white instead of unpainted metal. BUT OH I LOVE THIS THING!!! I can't wait to use it. (And btw: I must own 20 + palettes of various kinds already. I can already tell that this will be a favorite.) Moving colors around easily is one of the reasons I purchased this magnet type palette.

Nice quality but smaller than I expected. The tin is sturdy and the lid fits nice and tight. The paint cups don’t fit very snuggly in the base though.

Mine came wrapped inside of bubble wrap, a plastic envelope and then a box, so no damage on the box when it arrived. The little half pans do not arrive inside the box perfectly fit together as they appear in the photo, there is a little bit of spacing between them here and there to give you room to move them so you can pick them up and take them out as needed. Once I put them all back in after my paints dry, I could "squeeze" them together so they look like they do in the photo. Just make sure you put them in with 5 across and 8 down like you see in the photo, otherwise they won't all fit back in. Each little half pan was precisely the same size (they are somewhat rectangular). There is a piece of very thin magnet that is trimmed to size so it fits perfect under each one, when I held the box upside down and shook it a little bit to see if they would stay put, they did, but I have not tried that after putting them back in the box after filling them with paint. Some of the magnets came off as I lifted them out of the box to fill them with paint, but there was enough adhesive on them to get them to adhere them back on properly. I'm not planning to take this to paint in a class or outside so I'm not worried about transport so this is perfect for me. I bought this because I realized how much more efficient and less wasteful it would be to have the colors already ready to use each time I paint, rather than sort through the tubes, squeeze out a little of each color, etc. etc. which was a hindrance for me in doing regular practice. I prefer working with fresh squeezed paint, but I was just not painting as much as I'd like because of the big production of pulling out all the paints and getting set up, so this will speed things up a lot. I'm so used to working with freshly squeezed paint, I'm sure it will be a learning curve to learn how to paint from solid pans but if I didn't do this, I don't think I'd be able to practice as much as I'd like to so I finally caved and just went for it. It is super easy to fill each one with paint and it is so nice to have access to and see "all" my colors all at once so I can experiment more without needing a lot of space to spread out in a dedicated area that I can just leave messy all the time. I plan on creating a template using watercolor paper to place inside the lid to put color swatches/names corresponding to the colors as they are placed in the box by rows/columns for permanent reference (most likely will need to laminate that). I also like the idea that as I get more colors, I can buy more boxes, swap out the pans and rearrange them so all the cool reds can stay together from light to dark, same for the warm reds, cool blues, warm blues etc. etc. I thought I'd have to buy something more expensive like the Whiskey Painter's Palette but honestly for a non-professional crafter, I thought these were perfect. The lid stays tightly on yet its easy to take off, I didn't think I would like the flowers on the lid but they look fairly pretty in real life (thankfully they are white with a dark blue background so its neutral enough to fit any space, and bright enough to find easily if you misplace it. I thought I would need to "invest" in something more expensive like a large palette made out of ceramic or something like the Whiskey Painter's palettes, but I just bought a 12 well ceramic palette for mixing to use while painting. The one thing I did not like, and the reason why I took 1 star away is the ODOR! The plastic off-gasses a terrible odor!
