martol Multi-Use Paint Brush Basin – Compact Portable Brush Washer with Lid, 18-Well Palette & Drying Rack

The martol Multi-Use Paint Brush Basin is an all-in-one portable artist station that rinses, dries, stores, and mixes paints for watercolour, acrylic, oil, and gouache work.

This compact organiser combines a stable water reservoir, a dedicated brush-washing area, a ridged rest for brush drying, an integrated palette for colour mixing, and 18 paint wells for storage. Built from lightweight durable plastic, it keeps your workspace tidy and speeds transitions between colours whether you work at a studio table or sketch outdoors.

How does the basin streamline brush cleaning and drying?

The basin separates cleaning and drying into distinct zones so brushes don’t drip across your desk. A sloped groove and 16 perforations let excess liquid drain while a divided washer area handles initial rinsing and agitation.

• Stable water reservoir to reduce spills
• 16 holes for brush insertion and drainage
• Two washing sections for sequential cleanings
• Slanted grooves to rest brushes while they dry

Can I mix and store paints in this unit?

Yes—the integrated palette and 18 wells let you mix multiple colours and keep small amounts of paint accessible. The separate trays prevent colours from contaminating each other so you can stage several hues at once for a session.

• Removable palette surface for easy mixing
• 18 individual wells for paint storage or pre-mixed colours
• Tray layout designed to minimize cross-contamination
• Lid helps protect stored paints when not in use

Is this unit good for travel and outdoor sketching?

Designed to be lightweight and compact, the basin measures under 9 inches long and weighs just 0.66 lb, making it simple to carry to classes, plein air sessions, or workshops. Its multi-layer design consolidates tools so you need fewer separate containers.

• Compact 8-15/16" x 5-1/4" x 4-1/2" footprint
• Stacked functions reduce packing volume
• Durable plastic suited to indoor and outdoor use

How does it keep my workspace cleaner and more organized?

The martol basin centralizes brushes, palettes, and paints, reducing splashes and stray pigments on tables. Built-in drainage and dedicated wells limit spills and provide neat storage between sessions.

• Dedicated compartments prevent brush-to-brush contamination
• Stable base reduces accidental tipping
• Easy-to-wipe surfaces for quick cleanup
• Removable parts allow thorough washing
