You are so beautiful!

This is amazing! So bright and so beautiful. I'm a big lover of watercolor paints so all I can say is that I find them great and easy to use. I've seen them reviewed on several craft YouTube channels. TheFrugalCrafter in particular, and I just had to try them. I understand that when they first came out they sold out quickly; I also read that it takes about 3 days for the manufacturer to make these watercolors. The bowls are a good size, wider than regular watercolor pans, making them ideal for use with wider brushes. They are separate plastic shells. The box is just cardboard. There is a color chart online that lists the colors in English as the box is written in Japanese. I saw that the larger set of 36 cups has an English language color chart on the cover. I don't remember my set of 24 having it, but I found it easily online. I have to say I really wish I had ordered this 36 cup set because ever since I got mine I've seen the metallics that come in the larger set and wish I had them. There's no indication yet that there will be a way to buy spare pans, tubes or the like, but anyone can fill the pot with their own tube watercolors (seriously recommend M. Graham's watercolors - large tubes for $$ and amazing ones watercolours). !) I know that other watercolorists with more experience and knowledge can give better technical ratings. I just find her incredible.
