I just recently received this (actually a day ago) after being held up in Xmas shipping delays. I made color swatches and love the vibrancy and opacity of these colors. This will probably be the only set I would need as It has a great variety of colors. I was going back and forth about buying a "artist" set for a while, but initially didn't know what brand to get. I had come across a video with this set being used, and I could tell that is exactly what I was looking for. When Altenew placed them on a great sale around Christmas, I decided to go for it and am glad I did. Great Watercolor set.
