Super dope. Crazy vibrant. Kinda scary.
Been looking for these for a long time. I used them once about 8 years ago and couldn’t get them out of my head.I’ve tried other watercolor types—the cakes, the gloopies, and all different brands. But the concentration of pigment from a single drop outmatches anything else. The vibrancy is so much it’s scary sometimes. So this painting is from a single drop of each color. I did a lot of watering down because I’m not brave enough to go full on.In summary, these are dope. Best ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars My new watercolor obsession!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)Color: Set 1 ColorsVerified Purchase
Watercolor is my favorite medium even though I do a wide variety of art. I've been a big fan of M. Graham paints for several years now and they're usually my go-to when I want to paint. I recently came across Sanajana's Art on Youtube/Facebook and after watching her paint I just knew I had to try these out. It's safe to say they meet and exceed all of my expectations!

The colors are really rich and vibrant! The colors in this range are enough that you can mix virtually anything from them. There is a cool yellow, warm yellow, cool red, warm red, cool blue, warm blue, brown, and black. That would be a great starting set by itself, but it also includes white, green, purple, and a third pink/red color. My only complaints about the colors offered are that two of the reds look virtually identical by themselves - but they'll at least be useful for slightly different mixing options.

I debated between the .5oz bottles and the 1oz bottles since the 1oz weren't much more expensive. I decided to play it safe and get these just in case I didn't like them. I think getting this set is just fine. I've finished an entire painting using no more than 2 drops of each color (other than maybe a couple extras where I was trying to get just the right mix), so I expect these "small" bottles will still last quite some time.

I've used these on watercolor paper and in coloring books and they work beautifully in both. They work with regular brushes and water brushes. They seem to dry fairly fast so they do take a little getting used to - once they are dry they are permanent and don't pick back up the way some watercolors do. If you've used Inktense pencils/blocks these actually feel fairly similar to those once they are dry. At this point I don't think there's anything these vibrant paints can't do, so give them a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the colors of Set 3
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)Color: Set 1 ColorsVerified Purchase
This is my second set of Hydrus Watercolors. I love the colors of Set 3, but I wanted some more true primaries and this set fit the bill. They do require a lot of shaking sometimes of the pigment has congealed, but the quality is excellent and they are pretty much the only lightfast option on the market. This is especially important to me, as a lettering artist, since most of my clients will be framing and displaying their purchases. These are easy to use, beautifully pigmented, and highly concentrated. Do be aware, though, that they function more like inks than watercolors in some respects, and therefore may stain brushes/paper/clothing. They also cannot always be lifted out of the paper like typical watercolors.

Item arrived well packaged and on time. Would purchase again.

I love these watercor paints but I love their customer service even more! One of my paints had leaked during shipping and they sent me a replacement bottle with bonus gift immediately. The quality is so good. Vibrant, smooth, and in its true form, good dark values for a wider range of painting. For one painting, only a cpuppe drops of color is needed so they will last a good long time.. Once I use them all up pai ting up a storm, I will definitely be ordering more. Highly recommend!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to paint with watercolours.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)Color: Set 1 ColorsVerified Purchase
These liquid watercolours work very well, the pigment load is high and using them couldn’t be simpler. I have been a professional artist for several decades and paint using water-soluble oil colors, Gouache (opaque watercolour), and watercolour. I have spent thousands of dollars on tube paint that dries up or pan colours that crack and fall out; not a problem for Dr. Ph. Martin’s.
There is so much pigment in these paints, I would not classify them as “student quality”, a little goes a long way. The included dropper bottle is perfect for loading aqua brushes with colour and distilled water, a great way to paint plein aire. I have ordered select colours to add to this set. Will buy again.

Love the vivid colors. Wish I had more colors to choose from. A tiny drop goes a SUPER long way. When mixed together you get a lot of different purples I'm finding out lol. Might just be my poor, newbie mixing skills though. Like the little plastic containers since I'm clumsy won't had to worry about shattering them like some of their other glass bottle ones (although glass ones are much more attractive and just cool) for the price I feel like i got my money worth for sure. Love that they are liquid making mixing them up just that much easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent paint, lightfast and vibrant
Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2019
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)Color: Set 1 ColorsVerified Purchase
I ordered this set after watching many tattoo flash watercolour tutorials, and I understand why Dr Ph Martin's paints are used by a lot of flash artists. They are highly concentrated, super translucent, vibrant, and lightfast, unlike dye-based liquid paints. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way, so although they cost a bit more, they will last a long time. You can also re-activate them if they dry out in your palette.

This set in particular is good for mixing because you get warm and cool yellows, reds, and blues, as well as a green, brown, violet, black and white. The white is opaque, like a regular titanium (or Chinese) white. The black is a true black, which fades to really nice gray tones, perfect for spit shading - it reminds me of Indian ink, but is re-workable after it dries.

My initial set had some problems. I sent an email to their support folks, and a replacement set was shipped out within a couple days. Really great customer service. I look forward to trying products from their other lines as well.

Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi e ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative. La prima volta che li ho utilizzato sono rimasta un po’ perplessa perché li ho trovati poco trasparenti. In realtà se si dosa bene l’acqua puoi ottenere la stessa trasparenza degli acquerelli in pasticche. I colori sono brillanti e l’effetto può essere molto fresco. Sono soddisfatta.
