Review on Transon Paint Saver Storage Palette Box 16Well Portable Airtight Black by Chris Hall

Here's the thing you need to know- the silicone cover will suck paint up, so only fill the wells halfway. If you are working with gouache this is not a big deal, as it is not enough of the paint to change the color of whatever you are working with. The only thing is that your white may not be pristine. So maybe carry a tube of white in addition to whatever colors you are using in this. Also- add two drops of gum arabic (or glycerin) to each gouache well and mix in. This will keep the gouache from cracking if it dries out. If you are using watercolor- add one drop of gum arabic (or glycerin), mix, and let the paint dry COMPLETELY before putting the silicone cover on top. This will circumvent the cover from picking up paint. Other than that little detail- I LOVE this palette! The opening hinge is a bit tight for your first few openings, but it will loosen up a bit, so it will not be so hard to open (either that- or I've just gotten used to it). There is a little dangly bit on the hinge that seems useless. It is, unless you have the collapsible water cup that attaches to it (which Transon doesn't seem to sell, but you can find the combo on ebay). That dangly bit secures the palette to the cup.
