Buying advice

Consider the type of paint you use: acrylics benefit from airtight screw-top cups to prevent drying, while watercolors can get by with snap-top cups. For travel, prioritize leak-proof designs with silicone seals. Larger sets save money per cup but ensure the lids seal well. Check reviews for lid durability and ease of use.
