Product Information

Full details

The Rosa Gallery Empty Metal Case in Indigo is designed for artists who need a durable and portable solution for organizing their watercolour pans. Its key benefit is providing secure, organized storage for up to 12 full pan watercolours, ideal for studio work or plein air painting. A potential caveat is its capacity, which is limited to 12 pans, making it less suitable for artists with extensive colour collections. This case features a robust metal construction, a stylish indigo finish, and practical elements like a finger holder for easy handling.

What material is the case made of?

The case is constructed from high-quality metal.

Does the case have a palette?

Yes, the inside lids of the case serve as palettes for mixing colours.

Troubleshooting

Watercolour pans feel loose.

Ensure you are using standard full pan sizes and that they are seated firmly under the retaining clips. If using non-standard pans, consider using a small amount of museum putty to secure them.

Case does not close properly.

Check for any debris or obstructions inside the case or on the edges of the pans. Ensure no pans are standing too high or are misaligned.

Exterior finish is scratched.

Minor scratches are normal wear and tear for a metal case. For protection, consider using a protective sleeve or bag when transporting.

The finger holder feels uncomfortable.

Experiment with different finger placements on the holder to find the most comfortable grip. The holder is designed for stability during use.
