Great for plein aire and airline travel

I have used Georgian paints for several years and have found them to be very good, I really like this small size for travel. The smaller size is really important now for travel as airlines now charge for "overweight" suitcases. I also use them for plein aire  and for classes. In the studio I use the larger sizes.

Bought the 18 inch for myself after watching several travel tip videos that featured it. I am a regular business traveler who was looking to economize the space in my new/smaller hardcase carryon. Anyone who has worked retail clothing will recognize the board-folding technique (I haven't worked retail, but found the board folding to be idiot-proof easy). For a medium-sized woman the 18 inch might actually be a little large if your clothes run small/medium. It is also, of course, much harder to fold sleeveless or silkier fabrics.

After purchasing the medium folder I went back and purchased 1) a second folder for my brother in law who kept borrowing/stealing mine 2) a smaller folder for summer travel. Very worth it. For the frequent traveler it makes perfect sense to just keep a few days worth of clothes ready to go in this thing and throw it in the bag when catching a flight. I rarely fully unpack mine as it holds a LOT of clothes (warm weather? Easily a week's worth of dresses/skirts/blouses).

Perfect for use on a plane if you like to knit or crochet while flying.  No exposed blades to upset the TSA.  I put it on a pretty ribbon or cord and wear it like a necklace; I never have to hunt my scissors.

This is a beautiful brush capable of holding a large amount of water. It's great for washes but allows for more fine mark making. I find that I have greater control with this brush. A wonderful brush for plein air, when you only want to take the workhorse brushes with you.
Jackson's did a wonderful job getting my order to me in a secure and timely way.

I love the convenience of this product...you can take it anywhere and is easy to pack,,,I just wish you could get more paint out of each color saturated paper. I do cut a small strip off to save as much of the product as possible..But I do like the hue of each color...
Still playing with these watercolors...would buy it again.

This really works for ink and pencil sketching as well as watercolor painting studies.  Perfect for plein air painting. Nice size.

I purchased this along with the palette extender, the pocket box bag, and a set of short-handle brushes. It is totally self-contained, and with the bag, there is plenty of room to carry brushes, palette knives, extra paint, and a small bottle of medium. There is actually room to carry more. There is actually room for about 8 37ml tubes of paint in the box, and the bag lets me carry a few more if I need to.
I travel by air frequently, and the little box doesn't take up much room in my check-in luggage. I bought this primarily to have a travel box, but I find myself using it  "on the fly" for quick plein air studies. there is room for 2 wet panels, back to back, in the lid. I covered the thumb hole with a smaller panel so the paint tubes don't fall out. I don't see a need for the optional tripod mount, since the thumb hole is adequate, or the box can sit flat on a surface. The knob on the side allows one to position the lid at any angle up to 180 degrees. There is a Guerrilla Painter metal plate on the front that can be replaced with one that can have your name and phone number if you so desire.
I treated the palette and palette extender with a light coating of linseed oil prior to use, and it made it easy to clean the paint up when finished. The optional palette extender has holes to hold wet brushes. It is a little pricey, but well worth it! The box is of excellent quality, and no doubt, with care, will last me many years.

This Koi set is my favorite watercolor palette at this price point. For around $20, you have tons of decent quality pan colors and a great size box that's totally portable and well-made to fit and close well and has that tray for mixing that works great, and a thumb ring, so you can hold in one hand. Since using this, I've moved on to buy tubes of watercolor paint to use in empty metal palette boxes, but this is a great beginner or easy travel set. If I were getting someone a small art gift, this would be my choice. I may buy a new one for myself too in the future for travel, as well.

These panels are sturdy yet light. They provide a nice surface for oil paint and because of their standard size can be framed with inexpensive store bought frames. I carry paintings in my car and these are not easily damaged. They stay solidly in place where I put them and don't tend to slide around. The size and shape is perfect for both plein aire or studio paintings and is easy to compose either vertically or horizontally. Best of all they don't seem to warp which can be a problem with panels. They fit all types of easels since they are mid size.

Well made, compact palette for painting while traveling.  I purchased the additional half pans to use for 4 additional wells in the center row of the palette.  I use this tiny, but very functional palette for sketch booking and use it with a water brush.

I'm going to be using this on a trip so I will add more after but for those who are wondering about size and how it looks, I wanted to post now. The interior is more of a lavender, not mauve. Colors are nice and subtle. More of a spring/summer bag because there is quite a bit of white. The straps could be an 1" longer and the cross body strap is fairly thin (hence the 4 stars). I have a thicker one I'll be using instead. The cross body strap is removable. I didn't find the original or thicker one uncomfortable to use at all. It'll be good for the airport and busy shopping areas.

The sides snap and there is a top snap which is nice. A zipper would be ideal but this will be fine because there are 2 very large zippered compartments. There is a snap on the outside that pretty much gives you the whole side of the bag for a compartment, as well as 2 zipped on either interior side. These are great for wallets, tickets, and other personal items. The center area is very large and has 2 slip pockets (one medium and one larger) a larger slip pocket with a zippered pocket as well. If offers more than I thought so I'm pretty pleased.

I just put in my wallet, mirrorless camera (Fuji with med. sized interchangeable lens), makeup bag, iPad mini with zipped cover, and glasses case in the big center compartment with plenty of room to spare.

I like that it will be good for the airport, the beach (nylon!), shopping and out to dinner. Great versatile bag for vacation.

The pouch is great for makeup and light travel.  It is mostly rainproof and larger than it looks.  The artwork is a lovely print.  It cheers me up!

I am a freelance artist and studied Media Arts/Animation in college. I can't stop drawing, so I need to bring art supplies with me wherever I go. This is the perfect travel watercolor set! The pigment quality of the colors are great and the self-rewetting brush technology makes the process of painting hassle free.

PROS:
- Color selection: There are several base colors to work with, but you can also mix as you see fit to match the hue that you're looking for
- Blending Tray: If you're fan of mixing colors before putting it on to the page, then you will have the opportunity to use the 5 compartments. If you're running out of space, you can also use the back of the cover of the box which I often do when I run out of room.
- Easy refill: With just a twist of the cap you can refill the brush with water to start painting. It's painless, quick and easy to use.
- Brush: The brush is similar to Japanese sumi brushes, so you can get into really detailed strokes or angle it to have broader ones.
- Case: The case fits all the colors, blending trays and the paint brush. It also comes with 2 sponges to dab at your page if you lay down too much water. The size and lightness of the case makes it really easy to bring this around wherever you get the urge to sit down and paint.

CONS:
- Palette spacing: With such a tiny case, the paint palette colors are very close together. I like more breathing room in between to make sure they don't unnecessarily mix. It's very easy to accidentally squeeze too much water out and have the colors blend. This can be easily avoided though, but thought I could still give fair warning to potential buyers.
- Shallow Pallet: While it takes a while to use up a full color, but if you plan to use this to the fullest, it does happen which will leave you with empty slots. There aren't any color refills for this unless you go for a different brand.

Over all this is something I'd recommend regardless of the cons. It can be for a budding new artist or a veteran. They also offer the brush in different sizes if you look on Amzon, but the one that comes in the set is the Medium tip.

This is a great little divided sturdy water cup with lid!
I show it with a Da Vinci Travel Brush size 10 and there is plenty of room for the brush or a larger brush.
It is made out of a thick plastic and I do not see this breaking any time soon.
The lid snaps to the base securely.
I did put water in it and then I shook it and it does leak water.
So, it is not leak proof. With that being said, I hadn't planned on ever traveling with water in it.
What I do like about it, is that the water is separated by a divider in the center.
That means I can wash the color out on one side and then rinse it in the other.
I doubt that I will ever use this for plein air, but I will use it for small painting at home.
It measures 4"W x 3 1/2H x 3"D at the widest part (the lid).
