This is a great beginners watercolor set. Having recently started with watercolor, I find that the paints are highly pigmented and blend well with both water and other colors in the palate. The price point is reasonable, and the pad of paper doesn't buckle when wet. The paint brushes give you a solid foundation to start with. Recommended!

I had a fun watercolor paint party and these were perfect, plenty of colors and a little bit of paint goes a long way. Just add a little water to thin out the paint. So easy, great value for the money!

Bought for my granddaughter for Christmas. She thought it was great.

I've been doing digital art on and off for several years, and a gaming friend that I shared my works with always encouraged me to try physical painting. I decided to start with watercolors since I really don't have a good workspace for painting and the inherent messes that come with it.I have bad memories of the cheap watercolor paints I had to use in school; I could never get them to work right. So I decided to try liquid watercolor paint instead of the solid form in a tray and got this. I've got a picture of my very first passable art attempt with this kit shown.The instructions are....ok. They're clearly written by someone that doesn't speak English as a first language. With regards to painting techniques, the instructions even tell you to just do internet research, which is what I did and found some good guidance videos on YouTube.The brushes seem to work fine. I've seen videos in which the video host or hostess directly says not to try squirrel hair brushes like these, so I'm guessing these brushes aren't the best, but for the price, I don't think it's an issue with this kit and I appreciate the included cloth bag to store the brushes. The included paper works well in my limited experience. You can see by my artwork that I went REALLY heavy with the paint and the water, and the paper held up just fine.The palette is a simple piece of plastic. It works fine; Paint won't stick to it at all when wetted properly with water, and can easily be scrubbed off when dried. Bear in mind I clean the palette after I finish painting, so I don't know how easy or difficult it would be to remove dried blobs of paint out of the palette circles, I've just had to scrape off small bits of dried paint that I missed during cleaning.The paints themselves are a mixed bag... Some colors, like my Cobalt blue, are a bit runny and easy to over dilute with water. Others like my Crimson Red seem nice and fresh, the paint flows and behaves as I expect it to. Then there's my Titanium White.....That paint is OLD. It always comes out lumpy, and I have to mix it so vigorously with water that I get air bubbles in the paint!! Worst still, the lumps simply turn mushy and just transfer to my paper. If you are able to zoom in, look closely at the moon in my artwork. You might see that the paint looks badly mixed. It looks like blobs of solid paint swirled in with watered paint. I spent a lot of time repainting the moon, because air bubbles kept coming up from the freshly applied paint. The stars were drawn in with a white "watercolor" colored pencil.This is irritating, since I use white often in both my artwork and in mixing for color tone variation. I may even just buy a single tube of Titanium white, since I'm having so much trouble with the tube of white I got in this kit. That being said, while I'm embarrassed at how crude my artwork turned out, I know that is lack of experience and technique on my part, BUT, I'm very pleased at how colorful the art turned out. One nuance that kept me from trying watercolor painting is again, in school I could never get a well colored painting with decent depth, and I clearly managed that on my first attempt here.This leaves me torn as to whether or not I would recommend this kit to anyone. Again, I'm happy with the quality of the paper, brushes, and palette. Some of the paints are fine, some are great, and others like my Titanium White are terrible. I would say look up other kits first, but if this has everything you want, then it may be worth taking a chance on.

I attended a watercolor class at my local library which provided two boxes of watercolors for the class to experiment with. I happened to be at the end of the table that had another brand nearest me so I was using that box until I looked to the other end of the table and noticed a SIGNIFICANT AND NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE in the colors the NicPro box was offering. I changed to the NicPro and commented to the class the noticeable difference. The class soon ALL was using the NICPRO box of watercolors. I went home and ordered the NicPro set as I LOVED the vibrant and beautiful colors that I could use in my watercolor painting. I don't think I have ever seen such a remarkable difference in products! Thank you NicPro!!!

Love these paints! This is a nice set that contains everything you need to paint. I highly recommend!

This was a gift for a grandchild. The order came on time....she loved it...and will enjoy it.

Great addition to my classroom

Has everything needed to get started. Quality pigments with excellent colour hold and coverage whether full strength or watered down for just a hint of colour.

Maravillosas. Colores preciosos

Ich habe lange mit Aquarellfarben in Tubenform geliebäugelt und sie mir dann in der blackweek geholt.Die Farben sind sehr gut pigmentiert und lassen sich wunderbar auftragen. Ich habe für die Farbkarte das im Set enthaltene Papier und einen Pinsel verwendet.Natürlich wären Echthaarpinsel sehr viel besser, jedoch sind die enthaltenen Pinsel mit Kunsthaar für den Übungsgebrauch und erste Erfahrungen echt super. Sie sind formstabil und werden durch die Kappen im mitgelieferten Beutel gut geschützt.Das Papier ist mit den 300gramm sehr gut, auch für die Nass-in-Nass-Technik. Die Im Set enthaltene Farbpalette ist zwar praktisch aber doch Recht gross.Meine Empfehlung hat dieses Set.Ein Tipp: ich habe mir einen leeren Aquarellkasten mit Töpfchen dazu gekauft, ein bisschen Farbe rein und trocknen lassen, lässt sich mit Wasser wieder aktivieren und man kann die Farben überall mit hinnehmen.

I'm new to this art stuff! I bought this as it was quite inexpensive just in case I don't take to it, so far I have found the colours are beautiful, easy to mix, seem to be good quality, easy to use and the box contains most of what you need as a beginner, I hadn't realised it comes with an A5 watercolour paper pad too, bonus

Offert à ma grand mère elle en est contente
