Artist Watercolors, 48 Intense Colors in Portable Box, Includes Metallic and Fluorescent Colors, Ideal Travel Watercolor Kit for Artists, Beginners and Painting Hobbyists

Absolutely love these. I've done many pieces of work with these. The pigment is spot on and the range of colours is amazing! They have lasted a really long time and I just love that it's all in a little case that I can pop away. I also love how easy the paints are to use. No mess at all! Personally, I have never used watercolour before so I thought I'd go for something a little less expensive, but these really pack a punch. They are not chalky as dried blocks of paint. Once a wet brush hits them, it's magical! It has really set me up for future purchases from this company. Definitely worth the money! Enjoy some of my artwork made using these paints 😊

This Artistro paintbox is fantastic. I’m an artist and I usually use expensive Windsor and Newton water colour paints which are for professionals and amazingly these are just as good! But so much more affordable. I wanted to buy some as a gift but needed to check they were good and I’m blown away by the quality! I’m keeping the tin of paints and I’ve ordered more to give as gifts. So delighted!!!!

Great quality. Perfect for my projects. Easily mixable, good selections of colours. Highly recommended

…but as of now, I’m leaving 4 stars for presentation and packaging. Everything is beautifully packaged, the case is very handy and fits all necessities to get started with painting. I haven’t touched any type of paint since about 20 years, and I was aware of what I’m getting when buying Artistro. There are many mixed reviews, but I can’t agree with most negative ones, because you get everything in 1 beautiful pack, the paper supplied with the kit is very high quality, literally the perfect type of paper for watercolour paints. When it comes to painting, the quality of paper is crucial, even with very good paints but poor quality paper you won’t be able to do much. The paper supplied is a small size, but who said you have to always paint on big canvas? It’s just up to preference, after reading the description you obviously should know what you’re getting, and you can always buy some more paper separately. Although I’ve seen harsh reviews on YouTube, saying that this kit isn’t at all worth it and it’s better to spend more money on expensive stuff, I absolutely can’t agree with those! In contrast, look up on YouTube „Artistro Meringue tutorial”, and you will find a review of the travel set, and you will see that these paints aren’t as bad as some people say they are. As long as your batch is fine, these are definitely usable That being said, this of course is not a professional kit for professional artists, but it is a great kit for beginners who are just getting started, or just don’t really know what they want, or just want to play around. It would also make a great gift for kids who enjoy art. Overall, for what you’re getting, I would recommend for anyone who wants to start creating. I will update my review with some pictures later after I’ll get used to these, because for now as a total beginner, there’s no point uploading just some random splashes of paint. The package includes: - 48 beautiful watercolour paints, including 4 metallic - a sponge - an eraser - a pencil - a waterbrush - a fine brush for details - 10 sheets of small size 300gsm watercolour paper

I'm just a beginner in the art field, and have had a few sessions encouraging me to use portable watercolour kits. You can get smaller, more portable ones, but I was drawn to the colours of this palette, as there are 48 which makes a great basic kit for a starter. It exceeded expectations. Arrived very promptly, and came with 10 sheets of watercolour paper, which I hadn't expected. It contains a water fillable brush, normal brush and ink pen to draw with. There's a colour mix card to test on when using it, plus a colour reference card that sits neatly over the paints when used. I'm doing nature drawing, so I'm particularly happy with the selection of greens. There are three little mixer slots in the tin lid, and a sponge for soaking off excess water. I'm over the moon with it. It would make a lovely gift for the amateur / starter artist in your life. It is a little chunkier than some others, but that is due to the excellent contents. Will definitely purchase again.

Fantastic beginners set. Everything you could need to get started with watercolours. The paint texture isn't too chalky, nice bright strong pigments and the paper it comes with is nice qualit! The brushes were surprisingly good too! After years away from art I have fallen back in love with it! If it helps, I pulled out the plastic top half where the pen etc slots in and it allowed me to store extra brushes and pencils and a makeshift mixing pot ^_^ Honestly brilliant starter kit and perfect travel size aswell!!!

This is just terrific ! Super , stylish travel tin , amazing selection of good pigmented paints , and lots of little added extras . And what a price ! Ideal for traveling . Wish I’d discovered it a long time ago . Don’t hesitate to buy .

These paints are very good. Colour true and easy to use. Nice compact case, and also has mixing dishes in the lid. I recommend.

This watercolor set has a beautiful variety of colors and is great for beginners or hobby artists. The paints activate easily with water and the portability of the case is really convenient. Some colors are a little less pigmented than expected, but overall it’s a fun and affordable set for practicing and creating artwork.

Sehr schöne Farben Auswahl die erstaunlich auch sehr deckend sind. Also für den Preis echt super. Würde ich empfehlen

É stato amore a prima vista, oltre ogni aspettativa. Pratico, funzionale, bello, leggero, ben fatto. Questo cofanetto farebbe un super figurone anche come regalo. La sensazione è quella di una confezione che sembra una classica trousse da trucchi e invece è un kit artistico e creativo per pittura ad acquarello. Molto originale. Super utile per portarlo sempre con sé ovunque perché è portatile per le piccole dimensioni (vedi foto). É un cofanetto in metallo molto bello, ottimo materiale, sembra resistente, ma non pesa eccessivamente. Il kit ha 48 colori ad acqua, accesi e vivaci, oltre a strumenti per disegno-pittura, 10 fogli da disegno. Non vedo l'ora portarlo in giro con me per usarlo in qualsiasi momento e qualsiasi posto.

Acquerelli davvero interessanti per rendere speciali i disegni che colorate. Tutta la confezione è stata un piacere da aprire e scoprire e facendo lo swatch è evidente come questo set brilli (letteralmente) sui fogli neri, ma possono dare un effetto pazzesco anche su dettagli di un disegno su carta bianca. Una felicissima scoperta che mi ha fatto tornare il piacere di sperimentare con gli acquerelli on the go.

This little turquoise palette tray with not just two but three mixing wells and a great little mini waterbrush with a good point is a steal for the price, even for adults, for urban sketching or vacation. Some people are getting this for their kids and really, I think their kids are lucky! Adults love turquoise too! I use Daniel Smith for fine pieces, but for a sketchbook that is closed this dye-style ink is fine. The colors are well-selected and fairly transparent and staining. I bought this at the used price and there was nothing wrong with it; it was brand new and not a dent. The little tiny brown brush they don't even need to put in there. All you need is the waterbrush. With some watercolor magnets you can put half pans or 12 full pans in here. Actually I was able to add some additional colors to it and the tin will hold up to 21 single pans if you wish to add some more favorites. This was a steal for the tin alone, and I see others buying it for that reason. I still have not painted with these paints but I have softened, them and added glycerin and gum arabic; they are a little gouachey looking now, but not falling out of the pan. I will keep experimenting. The dark green is an unusual color similar to ultramarine and yellow; but not really olive. It would say it is more like perylene green. The only blue is something like Phthalo Blue but possibly prussian blue. The turquoise colors looks like phthalo green with white added. The are similar to inktense; dye-based colors which means some of the colors will not lift easily if you don't like them. I still have not painted with it but I will soon.
