Review on Sennelier French Artists' Travel Watercolor 🎨 Set, 8 Count - Pack of 1, Multicolor by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A bit pricey at first but very nice color and quality.

I'm sold. I love these watercolors very much. The jar is very small - the size of an iPhone, but the color lasts a long time as it is very rich in pigment. They mix very well and go on smoothly. I've ordered tubes and empty palette halves in the colors I like to replace some of the colors I don't use very often. The case comes with 12 but will hold 14 half plates. It also had a small ring on the back so you can just touch the can with your palm. I am very satisfied with the Sennelier watercolors. In case you're wondering, there's a PDF on the Sennelier website with all the colors, their lightfastness rating, and each one labeled as transparent, opaque, or translucent. Since I mostly do the texture with ink. Some of the colors you can use haven't been rated yet, but I was surprised to see that several colors traditionally made with "fugitive" pigments have top marks for lightfastness. The pigments are listed in the PDF I mentioned, but I'm not familiar enough with watercolor pigments to know if, for example, Sennelier's Alizarin Crimson is made with a different pigment than WN's. Anyway, I'm very happy with them.
