(I rarely use half pans and only own a few, so use your imagination to fill in the hole in the middle.)

Alas, it's slightly smaller, but it can still comfortably hold 15 full pans or 28 half pans.

I've had trouble with my 18-color plastic palette holding in too much moisture, so when I stumbled upon this tin,В I had hoped it would be an affordable replacement. I really like how this tin feels in my hand. ( Jackson's has it for a nice price.) It measures only 4.5-inches or 11.5 cm wide, and it's very thin and lightweight. May these ideas encourage you to play with a palette until it's perfect for you!Дaler-Rowney is located in England but this mini watercolor set is easy to find in the U.S. That was more than enough for my needs, but I'll happily admit that it's fun to play with these palettes and modify them for my personal use. In my pre-SJ life, I only owned three palettes-a small travel tin, a porcelain studio palette, and a spare metal palette to store extra, filled pans. (But hey, if you want that many, more power to you!)В I have a lot of palettes and paints for one reason only. Now no one in their right mind really needs the number of palettes that I have photographed above. I've rearranged the guts of all these palettes to hold various amounts and sizes of pans so you can easily see how much you can stuff inside each tin. Today I'm sharing a peek inside my collection of metal watercolor palettes along with ideas for organizing your own metal palette.

Also, the metal pan clips/inserts take up valuable real estate that could otherwise be used for paint.

Unless you use a flat brush, the pans are nearly always situated the wrong direction. I really love metal watercolor palettes, but I don't love the way many of them are setup or organized.
