Watercolour pans

Watercolour pans are a classic choice for all levels of ambition. Here you’ll find pocket-sized palettes perfect for travel, large luxurious sets with the full colour range for studio use – and everything in between! Many brands also offer individual colours, so you can build your dream palette or easily replace the shades you’ve used up.

The watercolour cake in a pan is dry and concentrated, activated with water – allowing you to adjust intensity and work in layers. Many artists appreciate the control and flexibility pans provide, especially for detailed work or when building colour gradually.

Curious about watercolour painting? Pans are a brilliant way to get started. The format is easy to work with and loved by both beginners and seasoned professionals alike. Choose a palette with carefully selected base colours – or explore a wider spectrum of striking pigments like metallics, pastels and glitter!
