Metallic Watercolor Paint Set of 24

This is an excellent little starter set for people just getting into watercolor. The paint itself is strongly pigmented, allowing for easy and long lasting use. Over the year that we've had it, my best friend and I have used these paints dozens of times without running out of any color. Even the most depleted still has at least 70% of the block remaining. The accessories that come with it are very useful, including a watercolor pen, a mechanical pencil, and a reference page that you paint in to show the range of each color. The casing is extremely durable, being made of metal, and the latches are easy to use. So far, our cats have run over it, knocked it off the table, and treated it like a box, all without damaging it at all. It is also small enough to be easy to store, either with other art supplies or on a bookshelf. The case is about the size of a trade paperback, making it easy to fit just about anywhere. Honestly, the only thing that could have made this better is if the case was printed with a cute pattern.

Love these highly pigmented colors. Such a rich selection of colors, too. This palette has been perfect to launch me into my beginner watercolor journey. The price is great, too!

LOVE !!! Gorgeous, jewel-like colors ! The sturdy metal box has 2 swatching sheets & a plastic insert sheet to keep paints separated when closed. Paint pans are firmly attached in slots but can be removed, & have ID codes on bottom that match the swatch sheets. Some reviews have said some colors look the same— well, two sort of but not really, depends on the angle of light, paper color, and thickness of paint. Some colors are like opals, where color shifts a lot in different angles. For example, Seafoam Pearl is a light bluegreen on white but from an angle shows gold. On black, it appears gold but on angle shifts to opal-like green.. (Enlarge my photo & you can see this ). Garnet ( next to Seafoam Pearl) is deep red on white with slight purple shift, but on black is purple with red shift — again depending on angle. The colors are more distinctly different on white paper than on black— as on black you get more subtle angle-shift. Also— These do best with thorough activation w brush to get creamy consistency, Not just a light spray or swipe of water on the surface ( no no no ). All the colors have the same degree of shiny finish— which wasn’t true of the Derwent set I have ( and why I wanted to try another brand). The box, pans and paints are all excellent quality & would make a great gift for anyone who likes painting. Love it!

These watercolors are gorgeous, shimmery, high-quality, and fun to use. The latching metal box that they come in feels special. It would make a great gift for an artist. When you open the box, you see how each pan is beveled and shining like jewels. Includes black and white swatching cards so you can see how different each color will be. My only critique is that the pans are shallower than I was expecting, so I will run out soon!

This is a really great kit. I used it for a youth painting activity and the colors were vibrant and mixed well.

Great set of watercolor paints with a great selection of colors to use. The quality of the paint is good, easily flows on the paper, good saturation of colors, and super easy to use, just add water!

Very happy with quality of these paints. Bold color, would buy again

Excellent watercolor set with a nice range of colors. They mix well for different shades and color combinations, they are transparent when you need them to be, opaque when you want it. They dry quickly and the color seems to hold well even in strong light.
