Kuretake WATERCOLOUR TRANSPARENT 14 colors set with fineliner pen and water brush pen, Portable, In a compact box, Vibrant watercolors, For professional and hobbyist, AP-Certified, Made in Japan

Nice! I love the colors, because you can mix up just about any color from these. Also the little lightweight palette is perfect for plein air painting. There are many compartments to mix in, and they work great! If you want, you can click in/out the colors from within the palette as a whole unit, and that is also a surprisingly great feature too! The place in front of the paints is large enough to fit a travel paintbrush, a water pen, and a liner marker. I recommend this paint. You can't go wrong with Kuratake. My fav!!!

It's very nice. I'm surprised how much I enjoy the brush and the colors.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Transparent pan watercolors, brush and pen in a convenient case. Compact size for travel and pocket sketching. I am usually not a fan of nylon water brushes, but I tried it and it did a great job. I was able to control the water and paint with ease. The pen also worked well. Plenty of vibrant colors and mixing areas for my project. I also used this set along with a non-transparent set and it worked great for various effects .... sun rays, fog, waterfalls, flower petals, etc.

After using this little kit, I am enjoying the colors, that mix well. I love the water brush and marker and the kit could be used for traveling.

I really love this little kit -- however, I didn't notice that there are two versions!! of this travel kit, and they have different colors!! I originally had ordered the other one, which I loved so much, I tried to order the same one for a friend... Well, it came today, and I was surprised (and disappointed!) that the colors aren't the same as the one previously purchased. So, apparently, Kuretake offers this in two different color palettes, but they are offered on Amazon on different pages! (???!!) This kit says it is "Transparent" and the other one...I think it just says "Vibrant". Anyway, I really like the other kit's colors...but since this is a gift and I don't have time to return it and send the gift, she will receive this one. It almost looks like they made a 'modern color' palette and a 'traditional' palette, but that must have gotten lost in the translation from Japanese. I have some of the larger paints, and those are really nice too. In the photos, there are color swatch charts, which you can compare to see what each one has in it. WISH I would have known that before ordering! Which is why I'm writing this review. (You're welcome!) Either way, this is a great little travel kit, with everything you need except a bit of water - just pre-fill the brush, or if you're going on a commercial plane, wait til you're on board! and some watercolor paper or pad. For a small painting, or sketch journal, it is perfect! Once you get the hang of using the water brush, it's actually quite fun. The paint behaves differently from when using a regular brush, and I noticed it sort of changed how I painted, and how the color went down on the paper -- all fun and positive experience. If you need a compact travel kit, this one is definately a winner...but you might compare the two different versions to see which color palette will work for what you are going to paint. Have fun!

Nice travel palette size and paint. I’m not a fan of any water brushes, but ok to have in a pinch (actually I’d have to be desperate) but I can put a travel brush or two in that space instead - so good to have that space - and the pen. I liked the paint itself so much that I ordered the full size Kuretaki Art Nouveau palette after using it - lovely watercolor paints.

I love this little watercolor set and am so happy that I purchased it. I like to use mixed media when I draw and paint and this fit right in. I can put it into a small backpack or even took this on a plane. It is small but lovely and I enjoy using it very much. I wish the included brush was better quality which is the only fault I could find.

These are pure transparent colors that blend beautifully. The color selection is good. The waterbrush and pen are both very nice quality. With a little journal (watercolor paper) and a cloth or paper towel in my purse I can paint anywhere.

Easy to you with enclosed water brush and felt tip pen. Paint pans can be relocated in the container to suit the user. Mixing trays included. Would be helpful to have the colour name printed on the back of the pans. A lovely product: recommended.

Kuretake est assurément une très bonne marque japonaise. Ce petit set d'aquarelles japonaises convient bien pour la prise de note rapide, les croquis, les mises en couleurs de ces croquis, peut être emporté dans un sac facilement

Ich bin unglaublich zufrieden. Die Farben sind sehr hübsch und der Wasserstift und der Liner sind sehr gut. Die Farben sind austauschbar. Keine Mängel deshalb eine gute Bewertung

Pens and brushes are working great :)

Bonitos colores. Me ha gustado mucho.
