Plein air season is here, the weather is great and we are inspired. So it's natural that we look for small sets to take on the go and paint outside.
Roman Szmal released their tiny Urban Sketchers Mini palette just in time. You can get it empty ot filled with paints. So today we get to see into the pros and cons of this palette and have a nice and thorough review of it.

Questions are welcome in the comments or on discord, where we have more nerdy discussions.

Reviews of my friends @CyaneInkArt and @EveBolt show more swatches and mixes, that you might enjoy:
