An artist is only as powerful as their tools, with some ideas being better represented when using a specific medium. This also applies in Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist, where players will unlock better-quality tools that provide different effects throughout the course of the game. Once you get enough, you’ll run out of space in your toolbox and not be able to immediately use them.
Fortunately, there’s a simple way to be able to switch your tools once you progress far enough in the game. Here’s all the information you need to know about how to switch tools in Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist.
How to change painting tools in Passpartout 2

When you first unlock the easel, you’ll only have one tool, with more being bought at Benjamin’s store near the restaurant. When you buy your seventh tool, you’ll be prompted once you leave to replace one of your current six with it. Once you leave this menu, the only way to switch your tool loadout is to buy another tool or purchase the studio apartment from the landlord for $1499.
This is a large amount of money, especially when you’re starting out. However, there are some simple tips that can help you make more money, including:
- Unlock the business region on the upper right side of the map
- Create paintings that are very muted and visually appealing
- Sell to business people, who will sometimes pay over $1000 per painting
- Complete the business quests, as they tend to pay more
Once you have the studio, you’ll be able to create and sell paintings from your home. It also comes with an appliance to mix colors from recipes and adjust your tools. It’s a great resource that players should seek out early in the game. Selling paintings and saving up will be your best avenue for getting to that point, but don’t skimp on the canvas or tools either.
As long as you can save up enough to get the studio on the main street, that’s all you need to know about how to change your tools in Passpartout 2.
