As a special for the holidays, we’re offering three Holiday Sets for the artists in your lives. Whether a minimalist, beginner, or seasoned adventurer, we aim to have something for everyone!

Gold Palettes for the Holidays

At the heart of each Holiday Set is a limited-edition paint-filled palette in gold. We chose gold palettes in all three sizes to bring a little sparkle and shine to the season—and who doesn’t love gold! Each palette includes 12 paints by Da Vinci Paint Co. as seen in our Explore Palette, pre-filled to kick-start your painting adventures, with refill tubes of watercolor available here. 

Pick a size and paint anytime, anywhere.
