What's the crazy thing? Portable Palette Micro Review!

- Today we will have a look at the latest offering from The Portable Painter, the Portable Painter Micro! www.portablepa...
The original portable painter is my favorite travel palette. I love everything about it and it accompanies me on all of my outdoor painting adventures. The main reason I love it is because there are two water buckets that attach to the sides making legs for my palette that can keep my paint up high off a sandy beach, or can rest on the arm of an Adirondack chair or rest on my leg as I paint from a Kayak or canoe. This is the original I recommend 100% shrsl.com/2d883
The Micro is much smaller and comes with 6 half pans that you can fil with the paint of your choosing. They also make packs of extra half and full pans so you can have 1 full pan and 4 half pans or 2 full pans and two half pans is it works out better than having the original 6 for you. The extras are also handy if you want to swap out pans and rearrange them. All other half and full pans I tried from other manufactures fit in the micro palette so purchasing the extras from a portable painter aren't necessary and that also means that if you have a collection of pans already you can put them in the micro as you like. No need to fill more pans, nice!
The palette can be arranged for left or right-hand use. For me holding the palette with water in it will take some getting used to, I prefer it to sit on a table and it takes so little space it would be great for painting in crowded cafes or classes (on small projects.)

I just got mine! Love it, actually I have both. Brilliant designs, the micro will be great in my purse when I’m stuck waiting somewhere. Probably with water brush
Hi Lindsey. Good Morning from Florida. Thank you, for introducing us to this new product. I’ve been very unwell since November. Now July. Zero ability to craft . I have been very attracted to learning watercolor. To my list of things I do. Your time that you give so freely is much appreciated. Hugs 🤗.
Cheryl Tallafuss Hope you are feeling better!
I wouldn't bother trying to juggle the full water pot. Just take it off and set it on the table.
Ingenious design, so cute! I love tiny palettes. Seems like it would be nice for walks if you want minimal stuff to carry.
Looks awkward with the water, I think I'd put the water tub separate and down. And just hold the paint pallette part. I just know I'd spill it
I am glad you posted this up so soon after the feather tutorial! Thanks for the review.
That's the cutest little gadget! Thanks for sharing.
I have the 12 pan portable painter and I love it! I walk with a backpack so I can stop and sit and sketch my views on my walk, then sit and have coffee and or lunch and either sketch my photos or paint my sketches, so handy having the portable pallets, highly recommend them.
It’s adorable!! I’d probably use it with a water brush and keep the water compartment for mixing colours
Watercolour Art in Cape Town such a great idea!
It's adorable! 😊 It would definitely be handy to stick in the car! Love the larger one too! I agree, I like having 2 water buckets! Thanks for sharing Lindsay! 🌻
I'd like to see the portable painter mirco next to the smaller metal tins. (like DaVincis 6 pansets or the schmicke 9pan set.) for size comparison and see the different case uses for each!
I'm personally not a fan of products that force you to buy their "special " version of something just for it to functions ( the pans) but I can see why these are popular, however I prefer to use water brushes when traveling and have a squeeze bottle of fresh water when they start to run out , because i never know what to do with the dirty water when I am done aha.
I immediately went to the site as soon as I saw this. Can't get the portable mini from their site yet...dang it! Oh well, I can wait. Thanks again for keeping me up-to-date Lindsay!!
I've been looking at this thing for months, going back and forth 😂 it's available at Jackson's now, but I still haven't decided.
I'll probably end up getting it just so I can get over it, but there are design choices here that I know would really annoy me. The thickness, for one, and I prefer deeper water containers rather than the wide and shallow one featured here. And I do prefer two water cups. It's a nifty idea, though!
I've got a small two compartment water container I got on Wish which is small enough that I'd rather take that and my Qor Mini palette. Take out the silicone insert and the Qor Mini will hold quite a lot, while still having a lot of mixing space in the lid.
I just bought the cloverleaf paintbox on Etsy. This looks well made, as does the Original Painters box. May order later. Thank you for showing us. Jeanne
Thank you, I'm always looking for convenience as I too do most of my painting while kayaking and hiking.
That palette looks brilliant - love the size and how compact it is 😍
I love it! Just picked one up. I dont have a tiny palette like this but it would be great for me! Thanks for sharing it
I preordered the Micro; the first time you mentioned it on your channel the first part of the month. Looks fun! Thanks for more detail. Make my day; share a photo of you in the canoe painting :)
Genius. And so, so cute.
Cute! I got one too havent arrived but maybe soon. I have the bigger one too I use it full time at my studio no problem. I want the little one to keep my granulating colors. Thank you for the review!
This about the size of my compact powder lol It'll fit in my make up pouch easily ♥️ Good review btw. Thank you so much
So interesting! I personally 3d print my newest palettes, since it's more or less free!
It would be nice if the water pot had a divider. Nice review.
Thanks
This has to be the dinkyist thing I've seen xxx love your vids n demos xxxyour an inspirational lady xxx thankyou sooo much xx
I almost got this one! ILL definitely get one! I took my mini daler rowney palette Which was Great.. But I think this one.. Is a bit more convenient..If you prefer having enough water.. To dip your brushes..
Thanks for the review , I like the one with 2 water containers, I'm not a miniature person so cant do too small
Mine are on the way! The pan sizes for the original Portable Painters were specifically matches for Winsor & Newton pans, so quite curious that they would change that.
I think that is genuis! Three people in my house could use it.
I got the original Portable Painter on Kickstarter but have never used it!!! I love the design but when I travel I find myself taking my little whiskey painters palette!!!
Thanks for this review. I have the original Painter palette and it is good, but I am not keen on the plastic mixing areas. I prefer the Etchr mini palette because it is ceramic.
I never know what to do with the dirty water when i paint outside... So I take steps to remove the need for it. I use brushes with water reservoirs, and wet wipes to get the worst off before color changes. You can throw tissues in a public bin, but not dirty water - or at least you shouldn't.
Can you omit the water pot and it still close for less bulk? I think for my needs i would just use a water brush. Or maybe use the water pot for a rag to wipe my water brush.
Thanks Lindsay 😊
Thank you for the review.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
You are so good at reviews. I hope one day to start doing reviews myself. One day, they will make the products that I want to review available recreationally to the entire nation. Until then show me more art supplies. :-)
Looks adorable and cute but I think I’ll just get the regular portable painter
Love this so usable
I got the travel pan that has the gray cups, I haven’t used it yet, but I’m excited to give it a try! I think I’m just starting to get caught up on things (oops shouldn’t have said that 😂) Hope you’re enjoying your vacation, can’t remember when you were headed out...
I was thinking I might be inclined to put the water in the centre - which means I couldn't use the thumb hook but it still might be more comfortable. I'd have to give it a try. But it is pretty cute so I'm going to take a look. I do have the original Portable Painter, on your previous recommendation, and love it.
I'm rather frugal myself and those prices seem rather high to me, but then I have never been in a kayak much less tried to paint in one. I guess it depends on what you do with it.
Hi Lindsay. Your hair looks great! Just wanted to let everyone know Amazon has Arteza 60 tube guache set on sale for 38 dollars. It is a one day sale only. I thought it might be great for people who wanted to follow along with your guache tutorials. ;)
Thanks for the heads up Shirley ❤
I think is cute and enjoyed the video. I think it clumsy and awkward for me. I have the whiskey small palette and can use the extra pans with more color oppositions.
Jackson's had it listed for presale
Thank you for this review. Would the original portable painter work with gouche?
Would the micro balance on top of your Mason jar?
I think it looks clumsy, but I’m sure others think it kewl. Cute though. 💯❤️. Hugz
Can you do sample or micro pans?
👏👏👏👏
"I paint daily with watercolors on 5-by-7-inch pads that are small enough for me to take them everywhere."
Steven Holl
Awesome lindsay.👍👍👍👍👍👍
What colors do you keep in your portable palette? I struggle with choosing a basic but useful selection.
What's the advantage of this over an Altoids mini tin?
It's got a bit more space for mixing
Lindsay could give me the link for the purchase campaign please?
It’s super cute, but I think I will stick with my original portable painter.
Good review - I would never use it. Poor design with water container hanging off the the vertical axis. I would be spilling or dripping contents.
Ridiculously complicated product.
