Small size tubes of traditional oil paints and watermixable oil paints are especially handy for painting in the field. A smaller size tube fits better in your pochade box and means your travel kit can either be smaller or you can take more colours with you when you paint outdoors.
Small size tubes are great for trying out a new brand of oil paint but clever plein air painters also snap them up for their pochade boxes!
At Jackson’s Art Supplies we have an enormous selection of oil colours but only a few come in very small size tubes, and those are all in sets. The small tubes are in starter or trial sets in sizes 12ml, 15ml, 18ml, 20ml, 21ml and 22ml.
Starter Sets of small tubes are useful for plein air oil painters –
their small size works well for your outdoor paint box.
