Perfect size for all my sketching equipment so I can keep my kit in one place. Perfect for those "grab and go moments". Holds multiple pens, pencils and handy pockets for sharpeners/erasers/clothes etc. Really pleased with my purchase

I purchased the kit to be able to paint in front of the television on the couch and have everything in one hand.
Unwrapping the package and all the small items felt like christmas. Everything is made with love and somehow there is more inside than you would expect. Ordered 12 colors and got one on top.
The colors are highly pigmented and more on the opaque side to me. Just beautiful and I love them. 12 half pans fit into the small plastic palette I chose. The magnet stripes are strong. Metall palletes hold best on it I think. The sketchbook is handmade with the same fabric as the board. Really nice! The strathmore paper is wonderful and more smooth than rough. It's fun doing washes and layers as it doesn't warp too much and it doesn't pill at all.
So the kit is worth its price and having it leads to paint more, because I don't have to sit on my desk. I think I love couchpainting 😊.
I also ordered the A4 version with a bag and I'm honestly thinking about A5 ☺️.
Thank you Ian for great products!

It was clear that so much love and care was put into this packaging. I bought this for my honeymoon to Spain. It’s beautiful made and sturdy, so excited to use this on my upcoming trip!

Great Kit, beautiful sketchbook. The size of the bag is perfect for my mid-size Schmincke watercolor palette and there is still enough space for all the pencils, fineliners and fountain pens PLUS a small sketchbook.

I absolutely love this board! Ian was brilliant when I asked for an additional magnetic strip. I've used this lots since I got it and it will be coming away on holiday with me. I've also been using it with a softcover sketchbook and it works well with that too. It's the perfect size for a mini palette and magnetic watercup. I added some elastic to hold brushes, pens etc. too.

Great product! Simple and exactly what I needed.

I love it! I got a chance to use it for the first time yesterday and it all worked great!

Great bag, just the job!

Beautiful and perfect weight!

Extremely high-quality bag with sturdy zips and plenty of storage space. I enjoy using it and it is comfortable to carry as a cross-body bag.

I am so glad that I ordered this bag and sketching board. They make it so easy to sketch anywhere on the go and the quality of both items is excellent.

The most wonderful paints and metal box. I plan on getting more colors

I've reviewed the companion before. It's great. The sketchbook with watercolour paper is a good weight with no bleed through smooth enough for detail work but enough texture to hold the watercolour. The paints are buttery smooth vibrant colours.

Can’t wait to use it!
