ARTISTRO Watercolor Paint Set - 24 Colors, Travel Watercolor Set in Portable Box, Mini Water Colors for Kids, Adults & Hobbyists

Absolutely love these. I've done many pieces of work with these. The pigment is spot on and the range of colours is amazing! They have lasted a really long time and I just love that it's all in a little case that I can pop away. I also love how easy the paints are to use. No mess at all! Personally, I have never used watercolour before so I thought I'd go for something a little less expensive, but these really pack a punch. They are not chalky as dried blocks of paint. Once a wet brush hits them, it's magical! It has really set me up for future purchases from this company. Definitely worth the money! Enjoy some of my artwork made using these paints 😊

Fantastic beginners set. Everything you could need to get started with watercolours. The paint texture isn't too chalky, nice bright strong pigments and the paper it comes with is nice qualit! The brushes were surprisingly good too! After years away from art I have fallen back in love with it! If it helps, I pulled out the plastic top half where the pen etc slots in and it allowed me to store extra brushes and pencils and a makeshift mixing pot ^_^ Honestly brilliant starter kit and perfect travel size aswell!!!

These paints are very good. Colour true and easy to use. Nice compact case, and also has mixing dishes in the lid. I recommend.

…but as of now, I’m leaving 4 stars for presentation and packaging. Everything is beautifully packaged, the case is very handy and fits all necessities to get started with painting. I haven’t touched any type of paint since about 20 years, and I was aware of what I’m getting when buying Artistro. There are many mixed reviews, but I can’t agree with most negative ones, because you get everything in 1 beautiful pack, the paper supplied with the kit is very high quality, literally the perfect type of paper for watercolour paints. When it comes to painting, the quality of paper is crucial, even with very good paints but poor quality paper you won’t be able to do much. The paper supplied is a small size, but who said you have to always paint on big canvas? It’s just up to preference, after reading the description you obviously should know what you’re getting, and you can always buy some more paper separately. Although I’ve seen harsh reviews on YouTube, saying that this kit isn’t at all worth it and it’s better to spend more money on expensive stuff, I absolutely can’t agree with those! In contrast, look up on YouTube „Artistro Meringue tutorial”, and you will find a review of the travel set, and you will see that these paints aren’t as bad as some people say they are. As long as your batch is fine, these are definitely usable That being said, this of course is not a professional kit for professional artists, but it is a great kit for beginners who are just getting started, or just don’t really know what they want, or just want to play around. It would also make a great gift for kids who enjoy art. Overall, for what you’re getting, I would recommend for anyone who wants to start creating. I will update my review with some pictures later after I’ll get used to these, because for now as a total beginner, there’s no point uploading just some random splashes of paint. The package includes: - 48 beautiful watercolour paints, including 4 metallic - a sponge - an eraser - a pencil - a waterbrush - a fine brush for details - 10 sheets of small size 300gsm watercolour paper

I'm just a beginner in the art field, and have had a few sessions encouraging me to use portable watercolour kits. You can get smaller, more portable ones, but I was drawn to the colours of this palette, as there are 48 which makes a great basic kit for a starter. It exceeded expectations. Arrived very promptly, and came with 10 sheets of watercolour paper, which I hadn't expected. It contains a water fillable brush, normal brush and ink pen to draw with. There's a colour mix card to test on when using it, plus a colour reference card that sits neatly over the paints when used. I'm doing nature drawing, so I'm particularly happy with the selection of greens. There are three little mixer slots in the tin lid, and a sponge for soaking off excess water. I'm over the moon with it. It would make a lovely gift for the amateur / starter artist in your life. It is a little chunkier than some others, but that is due to the excellent contents. Will definitely purchase again.

Mine was missing the paper but their customer services have been great, even over a small item. I am loving the palette itself. I’m a newbie to watercolour painting but I have managed to already paint some ok things. There are plenty of colours which means even more ability to mix and the colours are well pigmented. Such a handy size too.

As a beginner I am very happy with my purchase, the colours are quite pigmented and I was quite pleased. Made all my christmas cards this year with these. Loved the brushes that came with it as well and the paper too

Lovely set

Great colours!!❤️

I already owned the travel set, and based on it's amazing quality and value, decided to buy the metallic/ chameleon set also. Here is my experience and opinion of both these fine products: 1. Travel set: I have a lot of water color sets and options, such that I really try to limit my purchases. But, sometimes a set is so good, especially for a budget friendly price that its worth owning--this is that set. I have not personally found a better performer for the price point!! Especially when I consider that this is a Chinese made art supply!! I'm sure there are better watercolors in the world...but they're all going to come from Europe and Japan, not China. So, those better paints will cost a bit more than this set. This set is literally better quality than many other sets at a similar price from the crafts store. Paint handles like watercolor should! It's not faint, it's not thick and chalky. This is a seriously good set for a beginner or casual hobbyist. Ideal for a teen or college age creative too! The travel set includes a range of standard type watercolors which are well pigmented and do granulate slightly! With cheaper sets like this, I personally expect more variability in the quality of paints (meaning that some will produce a better looking finished product than others with regard to the amount and quality of pigments). With this set, all the standard paints are rich and while there are slight differences between them, they're all useable. Now, this set also contains a few neon colors and metallics. That's where the quality takes a nose dive. Of course neons and metallics are tricky for almost any medium or company-- plenty of companies have a solid line of standard colors, and then somehow fail to produce neons and metallics that compare to the regular line. I have some very inexpensive neon paints that are way more pigmented and produce a better looking color saturation than these neon paints--but they are really chalky, almost like gouache in texture. So, hard for me to say about these...they still handle better than cheaper paints, but they're simply lacking some of the qualities of the standard color range. To me, the metallics are even worse. It's easy to find much better generic metallic paints than what's offered in this set. I notice that there's not a lot of reviews for both sets at once, not a lot of reviews for the metallic set and I feel like there's a reason for that: maybe most people would not buy the stand alone metallic set after sampling what's already included here. Travel set also includes some small watercolor papers, a few tools, and a handy guide with color names. It's very easy to transpose some of these colors when you swatch them out, so double check. One final thing to note: these paints aren't in removable pans. These are like cheaper paints in that they've obviously been made in some other mold, then glued in here. They look almost like they were formed in a long strip then sawed down to these sizes. So there's space between the pat of paint and it's section in this travel palette. That really really affects how these paints perform in way I consider negative. I always mist my paints with water to activate them. That method still helps a bit with this set, but not like it should! Meaning I had to mist the palette at least 6 times when I swatched it out and still yet had to come in and do most of the activation with a very wet brush. That does affect the control of the paints! These paints seem to need more water than what I would expect. It's not an insurmountable issue, and overall, I am very happy with this product, especially for the price. That's just a thing to keep in mind. 2. Metallic/ Chameleon set: They were very smart to include swatch sheets of both white watercolor paper and black card stock!! Most of these paints are awful on the white paper, but they really deliver a nice effect over black! Now, there's a ton of overlap between these paints and the metallics included in the travel set. You can compare the names in my photo where I show the Travel set on top (metallics are listed last on that swatch sheet) with the black and white metallic swatch sheets. Some of these, like the purple and green simply shouldn't have been repeated between these sets--theyre not good enough quality to justify them being included in any set that costs more than $5!! Seriously. And while the Gold has the same item name and number, it is invisible on white with this set, yet is plainly visible on white with the Travel set. That might be an issue for some people who specifically need a gold that can deliver. I think the Travel set is all around an excellent set, and I would recommend it strongly. If you don't already have some decent watercolors, then definitely invest in the travel set. The Chameleon set is more of a novelty item. If you're just looking for classic metallic watercolors, or jewel tones...you can honestly find what you're looking for at half the price of this set!! I would offer recommendations, but I think that's outside the scope of this review. This Chameleon set is really just for the person who has money to burn on novelty art supplies...or who is looking for that certain something that isn't readily available. I do give them credit for that-- having colors with a slight iridescent chameleon effect. I bought this set because it's the first I have found that offers that kind of paint. Plus, the travel set is stellar, so I had high expectations. To be fair, the paints in this set aren't too bad. Some of them granulate a bit. They do handle well. They seem like a quality product, it's just that there's numerous good classic metallic sets on the market that offer better color saturation for less money. But still, I don't want to discourage anyone from getting this set!! I am glad I have it. It's well packaged with the same extras as the travel set. The tin has a beautiful iridescent finish, too. I think the Chameleon set is ideal for someone like me who already has several sets of classic metallic watercolors but is looking for a different effect. My actual complaint about this set is that there's a lot of overlap between it and the travel set, so that destroys value for price if you already own the travel set. I wish this set would have only been new, Chameleon tones, with none of the classic metallics.

super Farben. Ich nutze sie sehr gern und sie halten ewig. Ich bin zufrieden.

Goede pigmentering, mooie kleuren
