My new Folio palette from Art Toolkit arrived on Monday, something I’ve been looking forward to since Maria first gave a sneak preview months ago. Unfortunately, a bad chest cold and sore throat prevented me from doing much with it for a few days. I’m better now and ready to play!
The Folio came out in perfect timing — I just had a sale on Etsy that nearly paid for it! My Etsy shop has been ignored lately so I’m doubly thankful.
I prefer these flat paint pans because my brush bristles can pick up a lot of paint without the tips being ruined digging deep in a regular plastic watercolor pan. This much larger version of the pocket palette allows me to carry lots of color choices with the most used ones in the larger double pans.
This is the first configuration that I came up with. However, I have another one in mind that combines regular standard and mixing pans with space to add a flat sponge for brush-wiping plus a few of these very tiny colored pencils. The sponge idea came from Mike Daikubara; I think I saw the tiny pencils idea on one of Art Toolkit’s Instagram posts.
I found these tiny pencils on Amazon — about the size of a credit card, the case includes a wee sharpener and eraser.
