I love the colours! I’m not good with watercolours but the little I’ve done with this set is encouraging. They are super easy to use and get the result I want.
Great value. I bought this for its variety and value. It works well as my practice/training set as I work to gain muscle memory and technique. All the color pans make me smile.
I bought this knowing they would not be Artist paints as I typically use Daniel Smith paints, but I wanted the colors that Altenew has to offer and this is a perfect set for card making and basic type Watercolor activities. So far I have swatched out all the colors and like them.
This is not a traditional watercolor set- the colors do not bleed and migrate like one expects from watercolor (wet on wet). However, they are super highly pigmented, they wet easily, and just a tiny amount of pigment will color/shade an image (wet on dry). They are better than I expected and the colors in the 36 set are incredible. I hope replacement pans will be available to fill favorite colors.
I love this palette for both watercolor and inks. I am going to order the larger one too.
Watercolor like a pro with this affordable, artist-grade watercolor pan set! This beautiful set of 36 vibrant watercolor half-pans coordinates perfectly with our line of ink. They are intensely pigmented, fade minimally when drying, and some colors have lovely granulating effects. They are stored in a convenient plastic case, designed with space for your brush (included) and a palette in the lid for mixing. Some of the case lids snap off upon opening and can easily snap back on after you are finished creating so you can store your mixed paints with the rest of the pan colors.
The lightfastness of these colors range is about 4-5.
COLORS INCLUDED: Pink Diamond, Puffy Heart, Purple Wine, Cosmic Berry, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Rubellite, Grapevine, Crimson, Autumn Blaze, Orange Cream, Sunkissed, Warm Sunshine, Fresh Lemon, Citrus Burst, Bamboo, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen, Mountain Mist, Lagoon, Emerald, Ocean Waves, Dusk, Desert Night, Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue, Midnight Violet, Deep Iris, Lavender Fields, Jet Black, Moon Rock, Industrial Diamond, Espresso, Mocha, Paper Bag
