The Portable Painter is a lightweight, watercolor palette that can easily fit into your carry-on, purse or even pocket. The size of a smartphone, it’s a revolutionary way to take your art on the road.

 

But the Portable Painter is about more than just art journaling and urban sketching. In an increasingly busy and hectic world, where consumers look for a way to de-stress and reset, the Portable Painter provides a way for users to become present in the moment and fully immersed in the “flow” of an engaging and rewarding activity.

 

An undeniably easy way to embrace your flow on the go, the Portable Painter is a travel accessory that recharges you. It provides an excuses-free opportunity to put down the phone, stop snapping photos, be one with the moment and then recreate that moment through your own artwork.

 

The Portable Painter is hands-free and easy to assemble and disassemble in just a few swift movements. When opened and extended, it holds your 12 favorite removable half-pans. When the set is closed, the built-in water containers (which also act as a sturdy pedestal base perfect for uneven surfaces) can be removed and used as an outer case for your palette. The sleek design is modern, aesthetically pleasing and suitable for either the sophisticated businessperson or the trendy globetrotter.

 

As one reviewer said, “This was created by a water colorist and travel painter and you can totally tell, thanks to the attention to detail and little touches that only a fellow artist would think of.”
