Description

The present invention relates to a paint set in which solid paint is stored in a storage box having a plurality of storage compartments .

As one form of paint, there is a solid watercolor paint as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Solid watercolor paints (hereinafter sometimes simply abbreviated as solid paints) are water-based paint compositions molded into a certain solid shape. Solid paints are often sold and used in a large number of colors in low-height containment boxes. That is, solid paints are often sold and used as paint sets.
The storage box for setting the solid paint has a large number of storage compartments for storing the solid paint. Solid paints of different colors are stored in each storage compartment.
The user wets the brush and strokes the surface of the solid paint in the containment area to melt a part of the solid paint and attach it to the brush. Then, use a palette to spread the paint on the brush and apply it to paper to draw a picture.

Solid paint sets are generally small and convenient to carry. Therefore, the user can easily carry a set of solid paints and enjoy the creation of paintings outdoors.

As described above, solid paints are sold as a set in many colors, but the consumption of each color is not uniform.
For example, a user who often draws landscapes consumes more green and blue than other colors. In addition, users who often draw caricatures consume more colors such as skin color, red, black, and brown than other colors. Therefore, a large amount of solid paint of a specific color is consumed and used up, and solid paint of other colors may be in almost the same state as at the time of purchase and as good as new.
In such a case, the user purchases a solid paint of a specific color, and the solid paint of the purchased color is fitted into the vacant storage compartment after the solid paint is consumed and used up.

When a user purchases solid paint for replenishment, he / she buys a paint of the same color as the original solid paint consumed. However, solid paints come in a wide variety of colors and can be confusing when purchasing.
For example, taking red colors as an example, there are various types such as red, red, red, red scarlet, and rosy. These are hard for an amateur to distinguish. In particular, solid watercolor paints have concentrated pigments and have a darker color tone than the color when dissolved in water, and the same system (for example, red system, black system, etc.) looks similar.
On the other hand, when I buy a solid paint of the wrong color and actually draw a picture, I notice that the sense of color is different from before. That is, since the pigments of solid paints are concentrated, solid paints of the same type generally look the same color. However, on the other hand, if you dissolve solid paint in water and dilute it, even an amateur can clearly see the difference between each color.

In addition, the user will fit the solid paint of the color purchased at home or the like into the storage compartment.
When the purchased solid paint is fitted into the containment compartment, the containment compartment may be washed to remove the residue of the solid paint. Here, if a plurality of types of solid paints are purchased and a plurality of storage compartments are washed to accommodate the solid paints, it may be difficult to know which storage compartment should contain the solid paints. ..
Therefore, the present invention pays attention to the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and can be attached to a paint set in which a solid paint having the same color as the original color can be purchased without error, or to the original storage compartment without error. The challenge is to develop a unique paint set .
