As someone who loves painting but hates the mess, this acrylic paint storage tote has been a lifesaver. The first thing I noticed was how spacious it is – it easily fits all my Apple Barrel paints, brushes, and even my palette board without feeling cramped.

The see-through design is genius! I can spot my cerulean blue tube immediately without rummaging through the bag. The 6 interior pockets keep everything separated – no more paint tubes rolling around or brushes getting damaged.

What really surprised me was how much it can hold. I regularly carry 24 paint tubes (both 22ml and 118ml sizes after modifying the foam insert), a water bottle, and my iPad in the back pocket. The adjustable strap makes it comfortable to carry to my weekly art class.

The double zipper opening is smooth as butter, and I appreciate how both sides lay flat when open. No more playing 'find the burnt sienna' – everything has its place now. While I wish it came in more colors than just black/gray, the sturdy polyester material has held up perfectly to my messy painting sessions.

For beginners or pros looking to organize their supplies without breaking the bank, this is hands-down the best solution I've found after trying multiple storage options. It's transformed my painting routine from chaotic to completely streamlined.
