Portable - fits in pocket; room between rows of colors for brush, pencil, and eraser (if small enough); enough colors to provide a wide enough range for almost any type of situational sketching; mixing area doesn't cause water to bead up - making it easier to prepare mixes; included water reservoir - convenient for transportation.

Water reservoir may need some convincing to dispense water; water holder is on the smaller side.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I love the quality of the paints and the thought that went into creating the portable design. I have used this kit a handful of times in an outdoor setting and has proven to be very handy when doing quick studies in a small to medium sized notebook.
