Very very happy

Love 💗 the colours, found a lot of mixing solutions at the surface of the tubes. Over all very very happy.

The paints themselves are fine

The paints themselves are fine, I bought five different pigments. However, the caps on three of the tubes (so far) have split and now I have to repair a tiny plastic cap so it doesn't dry out inside the tubes.

Brushes + 12 colour tin set

Obviously good quality products. I used the brushes with watercolour paint I already have and like them very much. The tin set is awesome and will used it on the trip this summer. What I was really impressed with was the customer service. I had a small issue with my order and contacted customer service and they took care problem was fixed right away.
Very satisfied customer.

I love your watercolours!

I love all your colours, but I especially love your Cerulean Blue. I teach watercolours in Canada and the US and every time I float out the Cerulean Blue everyone gasps. It’s a gorgeous colour. I send many students your way to purchase your watercolours. Thanks for the free shipping as well - even to the US. Who does that? Thank you.

When they say pigment, they mean it!

First time buyer and I have had a great time playing with all the new colours. Quinacridone violet is gloriously bold.

Nice paint

A little chart or something showing the names of the colours would be nice, the paint holder doesn’t hold your little cartridges of paint very well .

Great art palette

I'm enjoying my new palette. The colors I chose are super vibrant. It's also a joy to back companies that support the environment.

A Tool That is More Valuable Than What Meets the Eye

Dot cards are fun to play with - discovering the chroma, hue, and value of all the colours. In addition, it is a valuable tool for mixing. The dot card has all the pigment information needed to ensure colours will play well with others. Best case is using single-pigment colours. Paints with two or more pigments can indeed be mixed, but I need to ensure they are compatible (checking my colour wheel) and won't result in mud. I also use 100% cotton watercolour paper to test my mixes and make notes. This dot card gave me all the benefits: valuable information and samples to run my tests from so I have what I need to obtain better mixes.

disappointed

The outside label indicates the names of the 12 colors but when i opened the set, the only identification on the individual color pans was a 5 digit number that didn’t correspond to anything on the color chart. How do I figure out which name corresponds to which pan? I wanted to identify each pigment which is impossible to do if I can’t identify each color. I’m disappointed!
