As an artist, I’m always on the lookout for tools that can make my creative process more enjoyable and convenient. My husband has a 3D printer so I asked him to print a little watercolor palette for me. Though I don't reach for it often, it's a delightful addition that brings a smile to my face every time I see it. Let me take you on a tour of this tiny treasure and share why it’s the perfect companion for painting on the go or working on miniature masterpieces.
The Perfect Travel Companion
One of the biggest advantages of this mini watercolor palette is its portability. Measuring just a few inches across, it easily fits into the palm of your hand, making it the ideal travel companion. Whether you're heading out for a plein air painting session, or simply want to keep your supplies minimal, this little palette is perfect for slipping into your bag or pocket. Its compact size means you can take it anywhere, allowing you to paint whenever inspiration strikes.
Filled with My Favorite Colors
What makes this mini palette truly special is that it's filled with my own selection of watercolor paints. I carefully chose colors from some of my favorite brands, including Daniel Smith, M. Graham, and Paul Rubens. Watch the video above to see swatches of these colors!
Painting on a Mini Surface
While this mini palette is perfect for travel, it also shines when working on a small scale. Whether you’re painting on tiny canvases, creating detailed illustrations, or adding finishing touches to a larger piece, this palette offers just the right amount of color in a perfectly compact form. The small wells are ideal for mixing tiny amounts of paint. It's not the best palette to use for big works but it's cute, right?
A Cute Addition to My Collection
Though I don’t use this mini palette as often as my larger setups, it’s undeniably a cute and cherished addition to my watercolor collection. There's something inherently joyful about its tiny size and the careful selection of colors it holds. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t always have to be grand or complex—sometimes, it’s the small, simple things that bring the most joy.
Final Thoughts
If you're an artist who loves mini items, this 3D printed palette is right up your alley! It's small, convenient for travel, and honestly such a cute addition to my watercolor collection. I hope you enjoyed reading more about this palette of mine. If you have access to a 3D printer I highly encourage you to look up watercolor palettes on "Thingiverse" and print one out for yourself!
Until next time, stay colorful.
