00:00If you're a traveling artist who's tired of lugging around a bulky paint setup,
00:03you're in the right place. I went down the rabbit hole and found the top 5 portable
00:08paint boxes for traveling artists, and honestly, the prices on these are kind of ridiculous in
00:13the best way. Let's get into it. First up, the Cimiart 15 Grid Travel
00:19Wooden Pigment Painting Box. This thing is a workhorse, 15 pans, a wooden palette,
00:25and it plays nice with watercolor, oil, and acrylic, so you're not locked into one medium.
00:30At just $9.59, with almost 5,000 sold and a 4.9 rating, this is the one I'd grab
00:36if you want a
00:37complete, ready-to-go setup without spending real money. Next, the 12 or 24 Grid Mini Portable
00:43Painter Box in Black Walnut or Cherry Wood. This one's handmade, and you can feel it,
00:49the wood grain alone makes you want to pull it out at a cafe. It's an empty box, which is
00:54actually a
00:55plus if you've already got your own paints and just want a gorgeous, compact home for them.
01:00For $8.10 and a 4.8 rating, it's a steal for anyone who cares about how their deer looks.
01:06Then there's the Longua Mini Portable Solid Watercolor Set. This is the plug-and-play option,
01:12it comes with the paints, a brush, and a palette, all in one tiny box. It's perfect for sketching
01:18on a train or painting on a hike when you don't want to think about setup. $8.66, a perfect
01:255-star
01:25rating, and nearly 5,000 sold. If you're a beginner, start here.
01:31Coming in fourth, the Empty Metal Watercolor Tin Palette Box. This one's for the tinkerers,
01:37it comes in 14, 26, or 52 detachable half-pans, so you can build your own custom palette exactly
01:43how you want it. Metal means it's tough and it'll survive being tossed in a backpack.
01:49At $6.98 with a 4.9 rating, it's the cheapest way to get a fully customizable travel palette.
01:56And finally, the Empty TN Magnetic Watercolor Palette.
02:01The magnetic pans are the star here, nothing rattles, nothing shifts,
02:04and you can rearrange colors in seconds. It's slim, it fits a traveler's notebook,
02:10and it's ideal if you like keeping things minimal. For $7.94 and a 4.8 rating,
02:16it's a smart pick for beginners and minimalists alike.
