I've made several of these: one is Daniel Smith w/c squeezed into an eyeshadow box and the other is W/N half-pans put into a small Altoids tin.
The larger Altoids tin can hold a lot more. When I sketch away from home, I mix in the lid, using a waterbrush.
This is a scan instead of a photo, so they're a little hard to see.

I've just ordered some half pans from Jerry's when I placed my order for my Julian field easel... so I can't wait to make up a mini kit when they get here. These are great Nita!
I never would have thought of using an eye-shadow pan for watercolors. That's what I love about this group!
Thanks for sharing that idea! I have a few lttle Winsor Newton travel kits but sometimes even those aren't discrete enough!
What a great idea!
I was totally inspired by your portable watercolor container so I bought a set of half-pan watercolors the other day and disassembled them from their large store-bought case and tucked them into a mint tin. Voila! An insanely portable little watercolor kit. Thanks for the inspiration!
