Prima Marketing Prima Confections Watercolor Pans 12/Pkg-Currents

I have no idea whether Prima brand watercolor products are professional or student quality, but I consider them among my favorite two or three brands to use! I have Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newton, Holbein, artisinal handcrafted paints purchased through Etsy, I have paints in tubes and paints in pans, liquid concentrated paints and watercolor pencils and markers--basically, I am obsessed with watercolor paint and paper. Prima brand paints are my favorite because their colors inspire my creativity in ways that I normally struggle with. Their Currents pallette is designed for any water-related images you would wish to create. The pigments activate almost immediately after you add water, and they are a real pleasure to use. The price is on the lower end;each palette set costs between $20 and $25, which makes my goal of owning every palette set much easier to meet! The *only* critique I have against these palettes would be that the pans arent magnetic, which means they freely move around in the metal case. It got to be pretty annoying to me, so I purchased a roll of narrow magnetic tape and made each pan magnetic and solved the problem myself. It would, however, look much nicer if the pans came magnetized to begin with! Other than that (which isnt really a big deal anyway) I have nothing but praise for the products!

TURN THE PANS SIDEWAYS FOR A PERFECT FIT. ALSO THE THE COLOR # IS ON THE SIDE OF THE PANS. This is absolutely a lovely set of paints. All the details are so thoughtfully put together! I only wish a small brush would have been included but I’m okay with out. I hope to own all the sets soon!!!

The colors are beautiful and bright. I love the prima marketing watercolor, so to anyone in doubt BUY IT RIGHT NOW! U wont regret it

Love the portability of this palette and the depth of color. Great value for my venture into water color.

Perfect quality

The beautiful vibrant colors loved this brand

The colors are gorgeous. Beautiful and highly pigmented color payoff. These are more expensive than other brands and the package was smaller than I expected but I think you will be pleased with the color options and overall product. Great as a gift as well.

I was very excited to use these - they were markets and packed so well. They look attractive, and very compact but the colors were not rich and definitely not vibrant. They look ok when they’re wet, but looks dull once they are dry.

This is my first ever review on Amazon. I bought the Prima Confections Watercolor paints in Currents. The colors individually are beautiful and collectively go together well. I have a stash of watercolor paints from a variety of makers. This paint was as pretty any other that I own. As for color fastness, I do not know. I am not a pro, so it doesnt matter so much to me. I definitely recommend.

This is one of my favorite palettes from Art Philosophy. The colors are absolutely brilliant. I love how the rich pigments allow deep saturation. Use these on your next day by the sea. You won’t be sorry!
