Love these paints.

Nice watercolors. I’m a newbie to watercolor pans but these work well and have nice depth to the colors. Plus the pans are huge. It will last a long time.

Love it!!! Product came in perfect condition, 2 day shipping. Large amount of paint, the colors are so bright and super pigmented! Could not believe how opaque the white was. It could almost be used like acrylic, but thinned out too. Including a picture of the silver and gold from a sideways sheen as well as a squiggly test page from trying out the paints. Very fun set, highly recommend. A year later and I still like it better than my $200 Rembrandt paint

It is a wonderful paint set. The color selection is very good. Great to use at home and I also take it and my brushes and paper to a friend’s house....also good to use when I paint outside!!

Gorgeous colors, easy to use, lovely pigmentation. Ive been using the metallics far more than I thought I would. My only issue was shipping. When they arrived almost every pan was out of the box and strewn around the shipping box (see picture). There was only one crack and some flaking but it was not what I expected. I didnt take off a star because the product is so good but they should at least invest in taping the lid down.

Great water colors and a good price

This set is not only gorgeous to look at, the paints also work beautifully. The array is impressive and the colors are very rich and pigmented. You only need a little bit to achieve a radiant finish. When I read the reviews, I thought the colors were going to be more opaque but I was surprised to see that it was easy to achieve beautiful transparent washes with them. The colors also blend with one another really well, which is a plus for someone who paints a lot of portraits like myself. I wrote a review with a sample artwork on my blog if youre interested to see what I was able to achieve with the set. http://www.bauzon.ph/cynthia/comparing-watercolors-gansai-tambi-van-gogh-prang/

Highly recommend. I was hesitant of the lack of colors but it worked out well. It has a great assortment of colors. I wish I had more of certain colors (like browns or purples) but the white/black and glitter ones on the bottom made it worthwhile. The quality is great and works well with the water brush pens that I have.

My personal take on this product - the pigmentation of each color is very strong and bright, true to the color seen in each pan. Easy to use, and flows very well, when you are using it in full pigmentation it will dry with a little sheen on the surface, if water down more like a watercolor affect, then there is no sheen when it dries. The down side to me is the following, its more of illusion that it is a full pan. These are NOT full pans when you look at the amount of product that is in each pan, to me its equals to a half pan of product that you are getting, because each pan is filled with such little product. Over all, I still like the product itself.

LOOOOOOOOVE these!!! Im DEFINITELY NOT the artistic kind... but I wanted to learn and practice... Ive gotten others and they bleed through (I use them in my bible) and they felt chalky. BLAH!! BUT THESE!! These DID NOT bleed and were NOT chalky!! The colors are AMAAAAZING! I really love these!!! I love the box they come in as well.. makes it easy to put away when done.
