Sketches of Your Palettes

Folks from the Art Toolkit Community (you!) share sketches of Demi, Pocket, and Folio Palettes.

By The Art Toolkit Team

Watercolor paints arranged neatly on a white surface, with a paintbrush and water brush nearby. A pencil and a small container of paint are also visible. The background features a green cutting mat.

Every time we come upon sketches of people’s palettes and art supplies, it brightens our day! We love it when you tag us (@ArtToolkit) in the art you create, and it’s always an extra special treat to see our beloved products captured in your own artistic style.

An idea for a blog post sparked us to ask the Art Toolkit community (you!) to share sketches you have done of your Demi, Pocket, and Folio Palettes. At long last, we are thrilled to present a little gallery of your art submissions, representing a range of styles and sketches of palettes from our classic silver and black to special-edition green and palette collaborations.

Thank you so much for sharing your work and enthusiasm for art supplies with us. They have been, and continue to be, a joy to stumble upon.
