Review on Chalkola Watercolor Paint Set - 36 Rich Pigment Watercolor Tubes (12ml, 0.4oz) - Vibrant, Non Toxic Water Colors for Artists of All Levels - Painting Supplies for Adults, Kids, Beginners & Professionals by Doris Tran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good set for the aspiring young artist, hobbyist or journal writer (but not a professional)

Pros: Lots of paint and color for little money! Definitely a fun set for older children or those just starting out in watercolor painting. Information on pigmentation and lightfastness is given on the tubes. Cons: Many colors have fairly low pigmentation and some are not at all what their name suggests (indigo is absolutely unlike any indigo I've ever used). more like Kelly Greene). They are definitely a lot better than the cheapest sets and some of the colors are also very useful for those who have already passed the beginner stage. But in general I wouldn't recommend this set to those who are serious about learning watercolor, and certainly not professionals. Oh and the color swatch card is plain card which makes the colors look a lot worse/streaky than decent watercolor paper so keep that in mind when looking at customer photos. Great value for money but be aware of what you are getting and who will be using it.

Pros
  • Crafts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Available in White only
