ARTEZA Watercolor Paint Set, 12 Colors in 12 ml/0.4 US fl oz Watercolor Tubes, Non-Toxic Water Color Paint for Adults

Good starter set of colors and good price

Perfect!!

I have been painting for a few years and bought this to make a limited palette and do a limited palette painting challenge. If you are going to put these in half pans and allow them to dry to make a custom palette, definitely add a few drops of glycerin or a drop of honey in each pan and mix it into the paint to prevent cracking. That did the trick for me and I had no problem with them drying and staying in place. It also made them creamier when re wetting them. While these are not student quality, the color pickup is actually really nice. I would definitely recommend these if you are going to use them wet or if you are going to take the extra step before putting them in pans. The price is definitely great and you can paint for years with these without feeling like it’s breaking the bank.

Great Seller - Great Purchase !!

Good quality paint set. Good pigmentation.

I am a novice watercolor person. Not very good at it but am learning. These paints are great, bright and beautiful and easy to work with. I am thrilled with the results so far. The colors definitely exceed my abilities in every way! I will buy these again - probably look for a set with more colors though. Hopefully Amazon will have a set from this vendor with a larger pallet. Still for learning or even a pro these paints are great.

I have used Daniel Smith, M.Graham (my favorite), White Knights, Winsor Newton, Turner, Van ect. They are all great with their difference mainly being on fluidity. However, they are considerably more costly than Arteza. Arteza is similar to Turner in terms of fluidity, it is slightly like gouache. But with that said, the colors rich and mixe very well. I useArteza colors as my practice palette without hurting the pocket. Definitely worth it, particularly the 12 color set.

As some others have said, these are good for beginners. I’ve recently gotten into watercolor painting and bought this set to get started. At first I liked them a lot but now I’m excited to move on from them. The ink dries on the palette pretty quickly (even in a blob, not just when it’s spread out) and while it does rehydrate it can be difficult to do so, and is sometimes chalky afterwards. I have also noticed that some colors don’t mix together as easily as others. But I think they are a great value for beginners or anyone just looking to try out water color
