    Thr 45 pack is all encompassing!
    To be fair, I've only swatched them. I haven't actually created anything else yet. But, for the most part, I think I'm in love. I wish there was a greater Difference in the greens and the reds. But but other than that, the quality is amazing. I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner.It was pretty tricky to me to find organization that flows and isn't basic roygbiv, as the printed swatch in the box is off in hue and there is 40 different colors 😳. In my swatch page you can see my swatch notes in the corners of each square.For those curious my pallet is ordered darks and browns, bricks and reds, purples and pink, blues, greens, yellows, and then oranges and tans.Only 5 colors are repeats, China white, lemon yellow, alizarin crimson, ultramarine, and Paynes gray. The two blacks are actually different!The brush it comes with is surprisingly good, no shedding through the whole swatch process.Overall, very vibrant and workable colors, easy to workwith and very well made- just be careful to note that the paints will come out of their pans if you tip them over without testing them first. Fill the gaps in the pans with water to get them to stick!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Affordable Beginner's Set!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020
    I just took up water color painting two months ago. I've been painting 3-5 days a week for 2 months. This was my first set of colors and I'm so happy I chose these!

    The good
    - the box is sturdy and well thought out, the mixing area is done well
    - the colors chosen for a beginner are perfect - it is possible to mix a larger range and variety of colors than I imagined (because I am a beginner and didn't know that much about mixing colors)
    - the paint in the pan are quite concentrated and last a long time
    - the paints are a really good quality - especially for the price, water colors can be very very expensive!

    The room for improvement
    - the box lid can be used for mixing but is difficult/impossible to remove, making it harder to clean
    - the brush that was included was poor (a number of the bristles fell out on first use) - it's ok I wasn't counting on using that brush as a main brush

    The stuff I wish I knew/Wish they included some information in the box, that I learned from tutorials/googling stuff as a beginner:
    - make a color chart (like the one I included as a picture) of each color and where it is located. The pans are very dark and it's hard to know which color is which/remember which pan is which once they are unwrapped and put in place
    - I had no idea how to use Chinese White. I experimented with it and really wasn't sure/getting any results that were useful. Upon googling I even found it on the WN techniques page, not sure if external links are allowed, but it's meant to be used as a highlight after the other paint has dried (that makes so much sense now, sigh... learning can be hard)
    - You can mix gray/black on your own. I was confused why there was no gray/black included. And I am fine with it, I really like the color choices included and understand that just 12 colors has to be expertly selected (and it is!) but as someone who knew nothing, I really wish it didn't take me as long to figure out as it did.
    - There are two yellows, two reds, two blues, and two greens because each has a cool version and a warm version. If you mix a cool with another cool you'll get a more vibrant color. If you mix a cool with a warm it'll be a bit muted/muddy. It took me hours of tutorials to find this piece of information and learn it! So helpful!
    - I was advised that spraying the pans with a little bit of water from a spray bottle before using would make it easier to activate/work with the paints and I found this to be very true and helpful. I'm not sure if there is any harm or problem doing this, but I find it easier to work with the paints this way

    Investi nesse kit para estudar e não poderia estar mais feliz. As tintas têm uma pigmentação ótima sem precisar de muito pigmento, e diluem super bem. Recomendo para pessoas, que assim como eu, estão estudando a aquarela e querem um material de boa qualidade.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2023
    This is a great watercolor palette for beginners and people who may travel to paint.
    The pigmentation level is great and this palette has more than enough shades for someone who does not want to mix or layer colors to get their desired effect.

    There is more than enough room to mix paints in the case palettes, but you do need to either rinse off the palettes or let them dry before closing the case, or it will leak on top of the pans.

    The pans are slightly loose and may someimes fall out of place, which has not been a big issue for me, but I recommend taking swatches of the pans in the order you wan them to be in in case multiple fall out and you need to place them back in. Or use tack to adhere them to the case.

    If you are fine with mixing colors, you can get away with fewer shades than provided, but I enjoy how much mixing room is available with this kit compared to the other travel sets.

    This would make an excellent gift for an artistically inclined person.
