Caliart 50 Colors Watercolor Paint Set, Portable Art Supplies Palette Kit | T...

Really nice set of watercolor paints. Gorgeous colors. I've only just started playing with it and can already feel these are better quality than what I already had. These paint blocks are so smooth, and when you add the water & paintbrush, it's like magic. The colors are vivid and the pigment is strong. It's very enjoyable to use these paints. I love that they provide the test sheets so you can see the colors before you decide which ones you want to use in your project. They also include brushes & the watercolor brushes that you put water in. The metallic colors are beautiful! The florescent ones are very full of pigment and so bright and cheerful. Very nice set that I would recommend strongly. I think more so for beginners. I'm going to be sad when these start getting used up. I would definitely buy these again. Update, several months later: I've been using these regularly and I still really like them a lot. I am aware there are better quality (and much more expensive) ones out there, but if you are just starting out with little or no watercolor experience, these are so great to start with. They aren't the real cheapie ones they sell for children. I am always surprised at the strength of the pigment. For someone who is only just learning how to use watercolor, this has been a really good set to learn with. Please note I am not trying to be a professional artist, I just wanted something that looked good on my craft projects. I use these paints on so many different types of paper as well - everything from watercolor paper to cardstock. This set has been really fun. Now that I'm starting to run out of paints, I'll be looking at the same brand for the next set.

This is an amazing watercolor set, at a very good price. The pigments are intense and the range of colors is amazing. Also the brushes are numerous and quite usable. The design of the set is good for use and portability. The only criticism I have is the small quantity of each color…but, that’s OK given the price and quality of the paints. I enjoy painting with this set and recommend it for artists and students.

You can really use this at any age. I bought for myself to do wit my teenage daughter. Her and I both love it. It actually made my sons (ages 9, 10, & 12) jealous and they painted with us too. Even included my toddler! Easy to use, comes with all the needed tools, only need is water and paper. I do recommend buying correct water color paper. The paints work well, and the color quality is accurate and really nice. Good amount in size, a great value.

Very pleased! The color palette is beautiful. Brushes are perfect. Great set at a very nice price.

This is a great student palette. You can't beat the value for the money. There are tons of colors and several metallic finishes. The pigmentation is quite good. The metallic colors like copper, gold, brass, bronze, silver (more gun metal grey) are metallic as well as some lighter tones. The reds, blues, and greens, not so much. I'd describe some of them as more of a muted satin finish. The metallics I'd be more inclined to use, do look pretty good. I've yet to swatch the metallics on black to give them a real chance to shine. There is a great array of colors for the beginner to explore, and far more than any artist would need as many can be made by mixing primary and secondary colors. That being said, it might be a bit much for the minimalist artist on the go would need. However , for the at home hobbyist this is a lovely set. The colors blend well. Not any appreciable granulation, however salt and spritz methods could render desired effects. I was impressed by the ease of the water pen/brushes to use. My first time, what a boon not needing a cup of water, save for a vessel to refill the water pen/brushes. I used paper towels between color changes. The white bristles are now stained, but no transfer of color, what so ever. AND THEY DIDN'T LEAK!

I am so impressed with this watercolor set! The color selection is amazing — so many vibrant shades, plus metallics and pastels that really pop on the page. The pigment payoff is chef’s kiss — rich and smooth with just a bit of water, and they blend like a dream. It came with everything I needed to get started, including brushes and paper. The packaging is organized and sturdy, making it super easy to store or take on the go (hello, coffee shop painting days!). Whether you’re just getting into watercolor or want something fun and high-quality without spending a fortune, this is such a great set. I’m already planning to gift another one to a friend!

I wanted an inexpensive set of paints that I could travel with and use on different types of materials. This one fits the bill! It includes a vast selection of pearlescent colors as well as basic and a few metallic. I always make a test card of colors, as colors look so much different on paper. This set comes with labeled color cards that you paint yourself. Although it's a tedious, time consuming job, it's well worth it. These are mine. Some colors aren't heavily pigmented, but with so many choices, I think I'll find a color for whatever I need. Highly recommended for casual painting!

Super happy with the quality of this water color kit and everything it comes with. It has a good variety of colors and the pigmentation is great. It also includes everything you need as a beginner to get started with water coloring
