Airtight Seal - my new review

I was worried this would be broken like my previous purchase because it was also shipped just in a plastic envelope, but the palette is very sturdy. It has a seal that seals not only the palette from leaking & drying out your paints, but it also seals each well from each other, so they won't randomly mix together. I initially thought the wells were too deep, but after using them I think they're just fine. My only complaint is that as a person with mild arthritis, the clasp - which is nice &…

Pros
  • Silicone seal cover under palette lid is removable, it makes sure this palette is airtight, it can keep paint moist for days to save paint from drying.
Cons
  • Airtight seal can be challenging to open

Be Careful Not to Overfill Wells

I absolutely love this! It has kept my gouache paints wet for months! Of course, how quickly they dry depends entirely on how often and how long you open it for.I overfilled the wells, not thinking about the suction effect of the seal. Next time I'll fill them about halfway, and then I shouldn't have any overflow problems. I've found I don't need them to be so full, anyway, so filling them halfway doesn't bother me.

Pros
  • Modern
Cons
  • May not seal completely, leading to paint drying out

Great idea for paint storage

I bought two of these the first one was the pink and I liked it so well that I ordered a second one in the white it allows me to keep a nice little selection of paint and I can open it up work right from that it's not too much pain at one time it allows me to bring a lot of colors with me when I go to a friend's home and we do crafting together painting. It was so much better than carrying all the little individual containers of paint that I had because there's so many and you can just imagine…

Pros
  • I got this to put my home made glitter gels in and it works perfectly.
Cons
  • Limited storage capacity

Nice Palette Box for my opinion

I like this little palette for gouache paint and I'm sure it's great for acrylic paint too. Portable but holds a lot. Got to remember to store in freezer between painting excursions if more than a few days apart. Paint will develop mold other wise. It is airtight though. Paint stays wet. I spray the paints with a little water before sealing it.

Pros
  • Palettes
Cons
  • Not compatible with certain paint brands

Revainrating 4 out of 5

useful, smaller than exspected.

Smaller than expected, but i suppose that makes it preferable for travel. Might be great if you don't use much paint at a time. I haven't tumble tested it yet for leak proof.

Pros
  • 3.84 ounces
Cons
  • Can be difficult to open with paint-covered hands

Impressed! for my opinion

My paints have been in this handy little container for several weeks now, and they're still just as fresh as the day I put them in. This is perfect for traveling with.

Pros
  • Due to silicone pad cover it keeps gouache from drying quickly.
Cons
  • Don't use for gouache, super messy. The back of the silicon layer gets very sticky and disgusting.

Super durable! best in my review

This was a lot better quality than I was expecting! Perfect for my 5 year old that loves to paint! Now I don’t have to pour paint on plates constantly!

Pros
  • This palette box is lightweight and won't add extra weight to your art supplies
Cons
  • Paint may become contaminated from the brush

Came broken on my review.

I ordered two of these for my kit and one of them is perfect but the other came broken and cannot be airtight because of it. Hopefully the seller will be willing to replace it.

Pros
  • 4.65 x 3.58 x 1.1 inches
Cons
  • Not effective for large brushes

Leaks but still a handy way to keep gouache

I bought this to have a compact way to pack gouache paints for plein air. Luckily I wrapped the case in paper towels and placed in a ziplock bag because when I went to open paint was leaking all over that ziplock bag and paper towels. It's a miss for my intended purpose but does actually do a good job keeping my gouache wet. Airtight does not extend to leakproof and I'm still trying to figure out a way to take this palette on the road.

Pros
  • The palette box is highly functional and versatile, perfect for a range of artistic projects
Cons
  • The lid may not fit securely every time

Perfect size best in my review

It’s a bit difficult to open but I don’t care. I put my Paul Ruben opera watercolors in it and made a color reference chart that fits nicely into the mixing area. I absolutely love it. Oh, just realized it opens with ease when the silicone cover isn’t involved.

Pros
  • Palettes & Palette Cups
Cons
  • Not suitable for heavy mediums like oil paints

Very cool for my gouche paints.

This little pallet is perfect for loading up with my gouche paints. The containers the paint originally came it were a poor choice. The screw off lids with dried paint were unable to reopen without great difficulty.and I almost threw them out. I saw these air tight portable pallets and loaded them up and it works far better then I imagined.

Pros
  • The compact and portable design of this palette box makes it perfect for artists on the go
Cons
  • May not be suitable for outdoor use

Super small. best in my review

I had thought this would be bigger. I was surprised at how small this actually was. I can make it work, just wish it was all over larger.

Pros
  • This palette box is ideal for a wide range of paint mediums, including watercolors and gouaches
Cons
  • Paints may mix unintentionally in the wells

Keeps my paint from drying out

I bought this box to put my guache pigments in So that they wouldn’t dry out between uses and that I could travel with them it works very well with a silicone cover to keep everything sealed

Pros
  • This container can be a little hard to open but is great for keeping your paints damp for a few days.
Cons
  • Horrible. Cracked day one ruined my expensive products I’m livis

Bought 2…both broke within minutes

Was intending to use for foundations/concealers. Spent over an hour custom mixing and filling just for it to break the second I closed and opened it for the first time. I bought two and both broke within minutes, although the second one only left a crack and did not completely come apart (either way, not usable)

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Lid can become unbalanced and spill paint

Great little travel palette!

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…

Pros
  • The paint wells are arranged in such a way that you can keep colors separate and avoid accidental blending
Cons
  • It may not be entirely suitable for budget-conscious artists

Beyond happy! best in my review

Excellent alternative to HIMI-style sets that you can fill with your own gouache. Silicone seal is tight enough that this might even be a good option for travel acrylic! Been over a week and my paints haven’t needed to be wetted yet, and the kid makes a great spot for mixing colors. Definitely would recommend

Pros
  • 8016B-LD
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other palette options

Good for gouache on my review.

Perfect for taking gouache on the go. Don’t fill it up all the way and it won’t be so messy. It can be a little messy to clean if you do. It’s the best way I have found for taking gouache on the go.

Pros
  • Painting
Cons
  • Some colors may stain the plastic

Did not works as expected

I was excited about this paint storage which seemed perfect for my dot painting. However, I noticed after about a month that some of my paints began to mold while others were completely dried out.One container was so bad, I had to just throw it away. Would not purchase again. So disappointed.

Pros
  • Painting, Drawing & Art Supplies
Cons
  • Can warp in extreme heat or cold

Fantastic product for gouache

I have been I have been using this airtight case for about a month with my gouache paints. I was getting tired of laying out my colors every time I wanted to paint, and this Transon palette looked like a good option. The small box fits comfortably in the palm of my hand and takes up very little space on a work table.I noticed many of the reviews mentioned the colors creeping into the watertight silicone seal and making a mess. To prevent that problem, I filled each section a little under…

Pros
  • The 16 wells are deep enough to hold a sufficient amount of paint for larger projects
Cons
  • The wells may not be deep enough for some painting techniques

It’s pretty small on my review.

Leak proof and air tight seal! It’s amazing and it’s small and good for carrying or taking with you anywhere. Airtight seal may weaken over time!

Pros
  • The 16 wells provide plenty of space to mix colors and store multiple shades for your artwork
Cons
  • Airtight seal may weaken over time
