Hey! It's a vintage cigarette tin that I got off Facebook market place. I cut some cardboard to the shape of the tin for the pallette to make cleaning easier. I cut a piece of primed oil paper as the canvas. I bought some double sided 'mounting tape' from an art store to mount the canvas on the lid and it worked really well. You just have to take care to remove it once the painting is done or wait until it dries. I still haven't figured out the best way to cover the paint so that I can shut the lid and carry it around

That's a great idea! Even a small bull clip could possibly work, clip it to each side and use the silver handle things to flip down and put a bit of downward pressure on the tin foil or wax paper. I think a deeper tin would probably solve a few of the issues too.

Excellent work!

Found a metal lunch box on Amazon that seems pretty darn perfect for this. Plus, since it's a little bit deeper, I can put my paint tubes in it for storage and transport.
