Transon Paint Storage Palette Box 24 Wells Airtight Stay Wet for Watercolor, Gouache, Acrylic and Oil Paint

I've had no problems with this product but I've seen other people say that it's not good at keeping the paint contained within the container which personally I have not experienced but I am assuming it's because I don't carry it around in my bag (?)

Recommended by art teacher. Good quality.

This palette box is a great space and weight saver for plein air painting. However over time, the silicone lid seal will swell from contact with oil paints and exposure to brush solvents. When the seal swells, the lid can't be locked shut. I've found there is a DIY fix: purchase a small sheet of 1/16 inch neoprene and cut a new seal for the lid. Unlike silicone, neoprene won't swell and the sealing problem is fixed. After the upgrade, the box is a great travel accessory. I find I can bring a second box and still be better off than wrangling tubes of paint.

well made

I've been using one of these for my gouache paints for a few years now. I just squeeze some gouache paint from their tubes into these wells, and add just a tiny bit of water and mix with a toothpick to a slightly melted ice cream consistency to paint with. and I spray the paints down with a water mister bottle every now and then if they seem to be getting too thick or dry. It has kept my paints fresh and protected for up to a year with minimal leaking or messes. I've seen some fellow artists get mold growing in their palettes/paints, but I've yet to have that happen to mine. I ended up ordering another one of these palettes after a couple of years just to have a nice new clean one, but my old one still works well, just a pain to fully clean out.

I was looking for something to carry my gouache paints in for when I go to class or on vacation. This paint storage pallets box seems to do the trick. The 24 little container holes hold a fair amount of paint, enough for me to take on vacation and not run out. There is a thumb ring on the bottom of the box to make it more stable for if you want to balance the box on your hand to paint from. I just sit the box on my table but for plein air painting this would be very useful. I haven't had any problem with the paint spilling into another color's bin, but my paint is on the thicker side. I don't know how it would be with really wet, watery paint, though the lid does seem to fit nice and snug. There is also a small scraper attached to the box which comes in handy to scoop out paint or to use as a pallet knife. One of the closing brackets fell off durning use, but the bracket was easily snapped back on in place. When closing the lid on top, be sure you have the lid placed correctly, with the brackets lined up in the correct spots. Nicely made and sturdy. A nice addition to my art supplies.

I thought it would be a bit bigger, but it’s smaller than it looks. It was also missing the “ring”. The corners are hard to wipe.

Excellent !!!
