MICRO
MAX KIT

The new Micro Max Kit has everything you need for watercolor painting on-the-go: It combines an original Micro palette, two water-brushes and a set of eight new Expansion Pans. In addition to the installed half-pans, they allow you to tailor the Micro to hold from six to sixteen colors, with no increase in size or weight! There are two types of pans that both hold a genuinely useful amount of pigment: Twin-cavity (1.5cc/ml each) and Quad-cavity (0.75cc/ml each.) The pans can be secured in the palette with reusable adhesive disks (included.) Once they are installed, they look and feel like original equipment.

Tiny palettes are often home made and typically lack usable mixing space. The Micro finally solves this problem: It provides maximum deep mixing surfaces and even a convertible water container when it’s fully open. It can also be securely attached to your journal or sketchpad with a simple bulldog clip. This allows both to be held comfortably in one hand, while freeing your other hand to paint or draw. 

The two water-brushes, as their name implies, can be filled with fresh water so they are ready to paint whenever you are. The kit is packaged in a roomy microfiber drawstring pouch that can hold the palette and brushes along with a variety of your own art supplies, ready to grab and go. Enjoy rugged, quality construction in a professional palette that's designed for left or right hand use.
