We're so excited to offer a curated, rotating selection of our handmade watercolors in Art Toolkit's cutest mini pans, so you can build your own ultra-portable set! Seconds quality means there are some deeper cracks in the paint, and the pans might be filled slightly low—or maybe a bit too high! These variations do not affect the integrity of the paint. The Art Toolkit Pocket Palette can fit up to 24 mini pans; the Demi Palette can fit up to 12. The mini pans are exactly half the length of Art Toolkit's standard pans, so you can mix-and-match sizes in your palette!

Mop brushes are naturally fluffy and soft—wonderful for creating light washes or calligraphy script. The bristles puff out a bit, which lends toward beautifully varied brush strokes. They're also handy for lifting a good amount of water when making premixtures! Our premium quality brushes have coated wood handles labeled with our classic gold lettering, and synthetic bristles that fit into a metal ferrule. Imported from Germany. NOTE: please keep the plastic and metal wire wrapping ON! Removing this will ruin the brush, as the wrapping holds the brush hairs together!
