The Story Behind Tobio’s
I’m Mel, the founder of Tobio’s.
I’ve always loved creating, but starting something new often felt overwhelming. Too many supplies, too many choices, too much setup — what should have been relaxing quickly turned into stress before I even began:
So I decided to change that. I created the kit I always wished existed: simple, portable, and genuinely enjoyable to use. One beautiful box with everything inside. No research, no mess, no pressure to be perfect.
And Tobio? He’s my cat and creative companion — curious, playful, and completely unconcerned with doing things the “right way.”
He reminds me that Tobio’s is about creating without fear, slowing down, and giving yourself permission to begin.

What if I haven't painted since I was a kid?
Perfect. That's exactly who we made this for.

How is Tobio's different from the cheap watercolor sets I see everywhere?
How is Tobio's different from the cheap watercolor sets I see everywhere?
Three words: Quality you can feel.
Cheap sets use plastic palettes. Tobio's uses real walnut wood. Cheap sets use thin paper that buckles. Tobio's uses thick cotton paper that stays smooth. Cheap sets use chalky paint that streaks. Tobio's uses creamy colors that blend like butter.
Plus, our pigments are certified non-toxic. When you buy from unknown sources, you don't always know what's in the paint.
I'm always on the go. Can I actually use this anywhere?

No setup. No cleanup. No awkward stares from strangers.

Is this actually relaxing, or is that just marketing talk?
Is this actually relaxing, or is that just marketing talk?
Painting activates the same parts of your brain as meditation. It slows your breathing and quiets racing thoughts.
Our customers say: "I sleep better on nights I paint." "My anxiety has a new enemy." "I haven't doom-scrolled in weeks."
That's not marketing. That's 200,00+ customers who keep coming back.
Can kids use this too?
Can kids use this too?
