Watercolor & Sketching Toolkits

Our versatile and rugged kits include all you need to start your sketching adventure. Available in two sizes and multiple colors.

A Pocket Art Toolkit in grey with blue trim lays open with a sketchbook showing a watercolor painting of a coastal scene. A Pocket Palette filled with colorful watercolor pans sits on top.

Compact Watercolor Palettes & Pans

Our pocket-sized watercolor palettes feature a high-quality mixing surface and a magnetic base to mix-and-match an array of stainless steel refillable watercolor pans.

Three sizes of watercolor palettes: the Demi Palette, the Folio Palette, and the Pocket Palette, all with assorted pans with watercolors of various colors, and watercolor pans scattered in the foreground.

Last week, artist Mike Daikubara (@mikedaikubara) instructed Color First, Ink Later, an Art Toolkit Workshop. Participants were guided through a method of loose watercolor painting, adding ink after the paint had dried! We loved seeing what participants created during his workshop. Thank you to Rachel, Anita, Adriana, and Linda for sharing your paintings of the Basilica of Saint Lawrence! ⁠⁠ ⁠
