I love this watercolour travel set. Great selection of colours. They are very vibrant especially the reds, purples and blues and they activate easily with the water brush. Colours flow easily on the paper. The paint is smooth and creamy ( not chalky). I have swatched the colours and they have good graduation and can be rewet with additional layers. Colours blend well and do not muddy. Theres also a flip out mixing palet in the set, which i havent used because there are so many colours already. The colour pans flip out conveniently and the broad flat shape makes them easy to use and kind to your brushes. It's a great transportable set and could fit easily into a day bag or your pocket. The pans dry fast which is also convenient. It comes with a medium waterbrush only. I would recommend ordering other size waterbrushes for best results. I bought this set on a great special and wish I had bought two as it would make a lovely gift for someone.
