A Compact Painting Solution: KRYDRUFI Portable All-in-One Modular Painting Station
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Today I am reviewing the KRYDRUFI Portable All-in-One Modular Painting Station. This was a gift from my friend Rosi (who happens to make the best sketchbooks: www.etsy.com/listing/11221364... ) and she thought it would be useful. Since I love to paint in a variety of mediums and I love to paint outdoors it was a good fit for me. You can see the 2 colors available on Amazon: amzn.to/3Im2ep9
*They updated the paint holder to remove the taps according to a contact at Kydrufi
**save 10% with coupon code: 10KRYDRUFI
Pros:
Well made of sturdy plastic
Has brush grips to suspend brushes in water and hang brushes to dry
2 water buckets
2 stay wet palettes
The palette paper stays flat!
Included 2 pant storage boxes good for oils, acrylics or gouache
Will keep paint fresh for 2-3 months
Compatible with water or solvents (I have only used water)
Has removable inserts to clean brushes on
Has a place to clip paper towels (I think that is what it is for LOL!)
Cons:
I really don't see any, I think the price is reasonable too.
Bottom line:
If you are looking for a compact gouache, acrylic or oils travel system, give it a try! I still the the Portable Painter is best for watercolors

Great for those who only have a tiny corner to store supplies but can spread out a little to work. I could have used this a year ago. Lol. Now I have my own space. Thanks Lindsay 🎉💜
Thank you Lindsay! This is perfect for my son. He paints miniatures for D&D. It will be his next gift. Hugs❤
Mine does, too, and I'm thinking about it.
You are so welcome!
What is D&D?
Same! My son paints warhammer and I will be getting this for him as a gift!

At first, I was a bit 'meh' on that thing with so many portable (and innovative) water/brush options out there for artists.
But then you went into the wet palettes and versatile clips and I was intensely like,"Go oooonnnn....."
😆
Ooooo I love this! I've been looking for a system to use my gouache all over my house and this looks perfect for that purpose! Thanks for the awesome review Lindsay!
Now that deserves a Tim the Toolman growl!!!! 😊😊😊
I love the tab idea. I'm always loading too much paint on my brush and looking for somewhere to scrape it back
Oh, this looks very cool! This would be super handy for an art student I think. I remember lugging my tool box filled with paints and supplies from my car to class. XD
That's a great idea!
Your guess about the tabs are correct. I watched the videos on Amazon and it's there so you can scape the excess paint off on that tab. It looks great but the big question is, do I need it? Hmm.. As always, thanks for the review!
Thanks for the info!
QoL upgrade! Especially useful for painting minitures.
Skewt gift, Rosie! Thanks for the review Lindsay! 💜✨🖖🏾🥰
I save this tool on my wishlist on Amazon I think it have a few months now saved on it... because it have many compartments and I love the idea that this box set have a stay wet pallet ❤. I think it's very convenient for stayed organized in your work area😊 thank you so much Lindsay for this review, I need it😁 and I was very happy to see you with Shana and others Artists sharing a plein air painting!
Thanks for sharing!
I remember when this was on kickstarter and I wanted it! So cool that it's on Amazon now. Pretty pricey in Canada though, but maybe it will go on sale one day. Thanks for sharing.
Its very nice, looks handy. $70.00 dollars Canadian though is pretty steep but I do like it alot. Thanks for showing us. i had no idea it existed, Maybe a Christmas present..............
That’s a cool gadget! I can def see how this was a Kickstarter project. It’s so versatile! May have to get me one of these!
Hi Lindsay, I have had my Krydrufi Palette for about 4 months now and the water bucket is used daily.....The Krydrufi designers r on Facebook and Instagram r just lovely....I tag them in my paintings and they always comment on my work and r always open to suggestions for improvement or if u just have any questions about the unit. I know its quite expensive but I think it has already paid for itself. Lovely review and I highly recommend it. Oh i have the green one! love Alli XXX
Clever. I love to see what designers come up with. Having said that, it’s too many moving parts for my fumbly hands though. Thanks for demonstrating it, Lindsey.
That’s actually awesome! You have a wonderful friend!
I think so too!
I love this product. It would be a good thing for a person like me. I don't have my room ready to do art work in yet. It is nice to see people designing products to meet the artist's needs. Good review. Even though I don't usually buy things that are reviewed it is nice to have an idea of what the products look like and what they will do. There have been times when I buy something and its good to see a review.
Thanks! I think is a good product but many of us have a solution that works well. It's nice to know what out there!
How exciting! I was going to do the Kickstarter, but then my husband lost his job. I will definitely be buying one eventually. :)
Hi, Lindsay. Thank you for your video. Best wishes and Happy the week. ❤
That's quite the unit! Thanks for showing us this great painting station. 😁
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a thorough review Lindsay. You are always so fair and honest!😉🤗
I try!
Hullo Lindsay, I do enjoy watching your videos and seeing you figure out all of the angles! I am just not in the market for a product like this, yet I bet more than a few subscribers and followers are! Maybe soon to be too? I am truly happy with the Paint Pucks! I even “Splurged” on a paint puck cup! I love the silicone grabbies for my brushes! Wayyyyy back before you could buy stay-wet palettes my Mom helped me make one out of an old Tupperware container with a sponge and parchment paper! I saved so much money on paints I even made one for a friend and she still raves about it when we get together and do some reminiscing. I am sure that you have helped more than one viewer with this video review, thank you.
Awesome!
I had heart emoji eyes for this kit, especially for minis painting sessions at friends house.
I don't think it will work well for me (I'm...very prone to dropping things) but I still adore it. I'm glad it works for you!
this is pretty cool,i like when you share art supplies ,thank you
My pleasure 😊
One day! I didn’t even go 1 single day 😂.
😆
Hahahaha
This looks good for hauling art materials to painting class and back home, which is always awkward. I don’t need it now, but I enjoyed your review, and it’s good to know about it for future reference.
Love your reviews! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
I spent Memorial weekend cleaning, clearing, and tossing things and I told my girlfriends; no more gifts for me. I don't need more things. And I decided I wouldn't buy any more for myself. So...Stop tempting me! 😂 But seriously, the palettes are what I find most intriguing. I don't need it I don't need it...
Great video!! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Lindsay. My friend just started painting and has limited space, so I just bouth this for her as a gift!
Wonderful!
Oh my goodness it is so not plain aire even here in Phoenix. We are already under excessive heat warnings and by the day after tomorrow we are looking at 112 degree temperatures.
Yikes!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Such a well designed product. Whenever I see someone opening their Portable Painter, I watch to see if that clip gets lost. I😢 wonder why there isn't a magnet to attach the clip to one of the cups.
The clip is aluminum and not magnetic. It comes with a silicone band that I keep on one of the water buckets and tuck the clip in that.
Art gadgets😍 I think to use this plein air you’d need a lot of space to spread it all out.
I have little plastic jars ( like face creams or body butter comes in) that don't leak out any water you could place like jars for water that fit in the water wells (for watercolor) so if there is no where to dump the water when you are ready to leave like a cafe or hospital waiting room, you you can just walk out and not worry about spillage to and from your location.
Good idea 💡
Yeah...I really don't see this as a cafe or plein air item, it's much too large for that. This is designed to be portable, but more like portable around the house. Lots of cool features, though. Thank you for sharing it.
Yes, good for taking to the deck!
Hey Lindsay ! Guess what ? I took the plunge and I bought the portable painter..!😊 it was listed here and summer is already here and there are all these flowers I want to paint !😅 I also bought the Quor introductory tubes !😊And I already have 5 Maimeri tubes..❤
Have fun!
I could be wrong, but it looks to me like the clips in the paint trays could maybe allow you to snap in traditional full pans or something. I'm only guessing by the size of the spaces, so you could be right about the clips having another purpose. 😊
They don't fit full pans and half pans sit in loosely so I don't think that's it.
@@thefrugalcrafter Good to know. I was hoping it was something clever, but sigh... It's still a pretty cool kit. 😊
Nice! and for some, it might perfectly fill the bill, and esp for traveling w/ur stuff it might be just the right thing. I don’t think I can really use it now, but I’ll keep it in mind as it could be ideal for certain situations. Thanks!
I would like some place for brush storage. Then it would be perfect!
Wondering if the clips that you have holding the paper towels would be for holding watercolor paper or canvas panels for when you are painting? Would half pans & full pans of watercolor paint clip/fit in to the tab areas of the palette areas maybe 🤔? I would definitely enjoy getting this for Plein Air painting or Urban Sketching. It looks like a great thing for keeping your art supplies organized & ready to paint 🎨 at a moment’s notice. Thanks so much for sharing this review!🥰
I think watercolor pans would still wiggle around a bit.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks for letting me know about that! I appreciate it!
What would happen if it accidentally falls off the table and hits a hard surface, like concrete?
It's plastic so I reckon it might chip or crack.
That would have been nice to have a million years ago when I did acrylic and I had to carry the water tub and wet pallet and paints to class. It would have been one less thing to carry.
Yes!
Really interesting product! Only need paper and you’re all set! Quick question, have you used/reviewed New York Central Art watercolor paper? Jerry’s is now carrying 300 lb along with the hot and cold pressed 140 lb and the prices are crazy good for 100% cotton, especially when it’s on sale. There’s not a lot of info on YT, and I just wondered if you had any thoughts before I go too crazy, lol.
I haven't, it's packaged like the altenew cotton paper which is very nice so maybe they are the same.
Hey Lindsay ! Great review ! But is your camera working correctly? The screen seemed marred by some spots at times 😅 looks really handy other than that !🥰
Huh, weird. I filmed this a few weeks ago and all my other videos are fine. Noone else has mentioned it.
@@thefrugalcrafter I guess it’s just my old computer screen..!
Would watercolor work well in the divided wells?
Half pans are loose and full pans won't fit. I think the black would be hard to see what color you have if squeezed in.
Thank you for sharing!
When I tried using the promo code in the description while checking out through Amazon it said the code was invalid, is it for another site? I tried it the day the video was released and again today- I would have bought it for the full price but the invalid code was enough of a little annoyance that I held off to try again later 😅
I'm not sure, I was I independently contacted by the owner after I filmed it and he offered the code.
🙂
This is a great product, but i have a very severe allergic reation to silicone/latex. I do want to breathe....so i will pass on this.
Do half pans fit in the paint cubbies with the tabs?
That’s what I was wondering😊
I just checked, half pans will fit but they wiggle around no matter which way they are turned. Full pans won't fit in the regular spots and they are super loose in the big ones. I don't think they were designed for that.
Thanks for checking!
Nice review. It's not an item for me and seems like a lot of parts and would need quite a bit of space to set it up. Maybe it would be a nice thing if you go to painting classes rather than hauling a bunch of tubes.
Good call!
I saw this awhile ago and thought it was needlessly complicated and bulky for the amount of supplies it holds. There's no way I'd take this out in public, and it's really unnecessary in the studio where I alreafy have a place for all my tools and supplies.
You could have kept this to yourself? I don't understand why comment when you're comment is sassy and rude
@@meganklobchar7014 Have a better day than the one you had yesterday.
@thethriftyapprentice reviewed this product a few months ago: he created laminated card stock for a more permanent palette (as opposed to buying the palette paper refills).
Great idea!
I am instantly in love! This is immediately going in my Gift List. I have a lot of bad days (health wise) and often have to paint and draw in bed. This is the perfect solution.
I hope pur health improves!
I've been thinking about getting this. Really nice to see a video on it to get a better look at it. Especially given it doesn't really double on other stuff I have at all, it looks like it'll be a pretty nice purchase - I didn't even realize it came with some palette papers, which is neat.
Glad I could help! I think if I didn't already have paint puck cups or a portable painter it would be a great option!
