Review on Upgrey Watercolor Paint Set: 48 Premium Colors + 6 Metallic, 20 Papers, 3 Brushes & More! by Susan Park

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not bad but I would never buy this set as a gift

The colors are ok, variety and the metal set deserves 5 stars, it's exactly what I wanted. Nicely packaged. I was upset with how nicely made and packaged the kit was when I sat down to try it on. The card that came with it is laminated and unusable. Glossy plastic material that cannot absorb water. According to the name, WATERcolor paint should be on something that can absorb water. It feels like a respected watercolor painter never did. I'm still a bit skeptical about the quality even after checking it against a color chart I made on one of the sheets included in the kit just because of this oversight. Yes, a minor thing, but it seems like nobody thought to sit down and test their product for five minutes? Or didn't they bother to make a small change?

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
