About Portable Painter

About

Unplug from the electronic world and connect with your surroundings. Ideal gift for the traveler or artist. Compact elegant design: The two halves of the outer case remove and re-attach to form water containers that have undulating top surfaces that easily hold a brush. The sturdy pedestal bases serve as fixed water containers. Easy to support: hands-free, on rough terrain, a day pack or even a knee. Set it anywhere. Two folding palettes offer a variety of divided wells for mixing colors. When it's time to travel, the set folds up easily into a backpack, purse, or laptop case, ready for your next painting session. Mix your favorite paints in the pans provided. When you're ready to paint, just add water.
