This 13-piece "Signature" set features full-sized pans, providing double the surface area of standard travel kits. The housing is made from 0.3mm gauge tinplate with a baked enamel finish, offering resistance to oxidation. The pans themselves are molded from high-density polyethylene, a chemically inert material that prevents the paint from sticking to the container walls.
The set is designed for field artists who want larger paint surfaces in a portable tin. Features include:
- Full pan capacity for easier use with larger brushes.
- A baked enamel coating that provides a smooth mixing surface that won't bead after the first use.
- A branded thumb ring on the bottom for a secure grip while painting outdoors.
- A lightweight and compact tinplate design that is ideal for travel.
If the tin is used frequently for outdoor painting, the hinge tension may eventually need a small adjustment with pliers to keep the lid tight. Because of the high gum arabic binder content, the paints remain very soluble, but it is helpful to keep them in a moderate environment to prevent the surface from cracking. The 13th "mixing" pan is a useful addition for customizing your color palette.
For a similar metal tin set but with twice the number of colors, the MozArt Supplies 24-color set is a practical alternative. Look at our art supply trolleys for more mobile storage options.
