Review on Colorations RWCPAK Color Watercolor Classroom by Carrie Spencer

I have had great luck with Colorations products in the past. Liquid watercolors and bleeding tissue paper are amazing. Ease of use and vibrant colors. However, these watercolor pans miss the mark. I really did my best to get a decent color out of them. If a small amount of water is added to them and stained, the colors become very thin. Adding a little more and then stirring the brush for a while improves the color but on the page they get milky or muddy, not transparent and crisp like other watercolors I've used. And if you prime the children's pot beforehand (I add a few drops of water to each color to soften the color), then the colors take on the consistency of tempera paint and were used up by the students in one go. I can't win! I'm going back to 16 packs of Crayola watercolor paints. I had them for my students and they lasted me for YEARS if I took good care of them.
