Help me find a watercolor palette

I have a watercolor palette that I love and I can’t find another one like it anywhere I’ve looked. Any suggestions?

Here’s the one I have now, it was a set of Renesans watercolors and has 2 rows for pans and the middle is big enough that I can fit a third row of half pans. I really like this palette because I can fit 3 rows of pans, has a flat bottom, and the pan holder is attached to the case itself so it doesn’t rattle around.

I picked up this one from DickBlick and I don’t really like it. It’s too small and the pan holder isn’t attached and rattles around. Plus the bottom isn’t flat and has a thumb ring.

I think the one from DickBlick would work for me if the bottom was flat and it didn’t have the thumb ring because then I could just take out there insert and put magnets on the bottom of the pans.

I also have this palette which I love but I’m looking for something I can easily add/remove/move colors into.

Any ideas where I could find a palette similar to the first one or the DickBlick one but with a flat bottom? I’ve been searching for weeks on Etsy, Amazon, and DickBlick.

Did you take a section off the one you like or does it simply foldover?

I didn’t modify it at all, it only folds over (which I prefer).

This one looks a bit smaller than the one I have but for $7 like a good contender if I remove the plastic insert.

Oh wow! The 24 half pan one from that site looks almost exactly like mine. I’m seriously impressed with your searching right now! I’ve been looking for weeks.

unfortunately, they are in Australia, so I will see if I can find something closer to home…Can you pop off the “cover” part?

Amazon also sells this one…

Can you remove the pan-holders & magnet your pans to the case?

I could if the bottom was flat but it has wells molded into the bottom which would take up too much space.

…I wonder if you’d do better searching for a tin in the right dimensions.

I’ll probably order from them. A bit expensive for shipping but I haven’t been able to find a similar palette anywhere else. Thank you again for your searching!

Depending on how fast you want it, you do know someone who could offer free shipping from Australia (perhaps in combination with a little swappy package) :grinning:
