@@anhhuynhkimnguyen6793 That probably means Winsor and Newton's cotman paints rant very consistently produced, because my own worked very well. And I don't recall there being a purple in the set so you might be mistaken? Anyways, I'd suggest any paint or paint set by a fairly well known brand. I started off with daler and rowneys simply watercolor set and a cotman. To each their own so research, research, research haha!

Oh my god! I’ve never seen someone actually review these paints! These are my favorite watercolors that I’ve tried (other then my Cotman set) and they’re so unknown! It’s not fair lol. I wish the swatch paper was in English but that’s like my only complaint lol, and I guess I can’t be very mad at a free swatch paper. I haven’t tried their brush or paper but the paints are awesome. I originally got there smaller set, but I think I’m going to get the larger one.

I was very happy with my set I've been playing with it for a few months. The pigments in this 24 set are really nice, quality lightfast ones appropriate for professional artists. I love their glitter mica set too, but so far I've had some of those colors fade, so I'll be mostly using them for craft projects that don't need to be lightfast. I love how all of their paints perform. The box and packaging was nicely made too, think it would be a great gift!

Oh my gosh, I love what you made with these. I've been interested in trying a quill brush for a while, would you recommend a synthetic over a real-hair brush?

@arleebean 5 жыл бұрын

I personally prefer real hair brushes. They tend to hold more water and often times the point is made by the natural tapering of the hairs instead of being cut to a point shape. I've heard really good things about some Escoda synthetic quills though.

I bought this exact set after watching this review-not too impressed but I will say the bright colors are BRIGHT and pigmented-some of them dry kind of chalky and like there is a scratchy residue left on the paper though. Ended up buying a diff set after because I couldn’t find this palette to be for me, but I’m happy to see that arleebean enjoyed it and made a cute piece! And like arleebean said! This would be great for beginners or people without much paint or even people who just love buying and trying all kinds of paint 🥰

Abigail A ... Lindsay, the Frugal Crafter has also done a recent and comparative review of these pink palette Paul Rubens and the blue/green tin - Painters Express or Excite - ahh can't remember their name! But they are made by the same company, are also eastern style paints, the blue tin is cheaper, no pigment info, have more colours, though they are very comparable, but they would be considered the student quality vs the artist quality of Paul Rubens pink palette. Depends on budget and purpose and the packaging of Paul Rubens is also top notch, luxurious and perfect for gift - yay, I've been hoping for reviews of this almost unheard of paint for ages because, while still relatively pricey, compared to other artist (or even high end student grade), they are great value for money
