Review on 48Pcs White Plastic Empty Artist Paint Pan Kits for DIY Watercolor Oils or Acrylics Painting with Magnetic Stripe - Watercolor Half Pans ideal for Travel Tin Case Palette Art Drawing by qianshan by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just buy it. That's the best sentence.

They are absolutely perfect. I have decided to return to painting after more than a decade. I was convinced that my colors would be useless, so I looked for a ready-made palette and tried it, but it turned out to be useless. I figured for $6.99 I could try using my old tubes instead of spending a decent amount to try a different pan. I am shocked at their quality. I used my old Prismacolor chalk box (pack of 24) and it fits all 50 crayons perfectly and has room for a couple of brushes. Yes, I said 50. Not 48. There were actually 53 pots and 50 magnets in this set. I was also shocked that all but 4 colors are good after all this time. This set saved me a decent amount of money as well as time and patience from not having to try another palette. If I had to choose a minus it would be the fact that I now have to wait a few days for them to dry before painting, which would be a problem for any pan on the market. In fact, I prefer the magnets on them to sets with pans that fit in a row. I like it when I can move them easily. I don't have to push them from a specific location. And I can pop a few in an Altoids tin on the go, too. PS, my teacher friend taught me a little trick, if you need to erase the marker in the future, go over it with a dry erase marker. Comes direct from you must be relabelled.
