The weather is getting warmer and Plein Air season will be here soon! Today I have a review of the Fuumuui 3-D printed watercolor box: fuumuui.com/products/fuumuui-portable-travel-watercolor-paint-box-compact-and-well-organized-its-the-perfect-choice-for-artists-on-the-go
*you can save 20% on your total purchase with coupon code Lindsay20 on the Fuumuui website linked above
Or find it on Amazon (right-hand version): amzn.to/46MEnLV
Pros:
Lightweight
Comes with dual-ended brush, clip, strap, and halfpans
Easy and intuitive to use.
Available in a right-handed or left-handed version on the Fuumuui website
Accepts paper or blocks up to 8" high
2 water cups
2 mixing areas
Magnetic closure (comes with a replacement magnet)
Adjustable hinge strength with included alan wrench (see instructions)
Feels rugged and durable
Holds other brands of half-pans because it has grippy silicone in the walls of the pan inserts. Should accommodate 12 full pans if you prefer. I have the Phonex professional set of 24 in here: amzn.to/4rDa8i6
The box will close with the palette cup attached and it is not bulky to keep it that way.
Cons:
None, as far as I am concerned, but I did want to mention that there is no tripod mount in case anyone is interested.
Bottom line: I really liked this box. It's light, holds a ton of colors, and is intuitive to use. I can see this being a real competition to my portable painter because t is light, has two water cups, and it holds my paper. If it is in your budget, I recommend it!
