Review on 🎨 Arteza Metallic Watercolor Paints Set - 24 Half Pans, Pearl Paint with Vibrant and Pearlescent Hues, Includes Storage Tin & Water Brush - Ideal Art Supplies for Illustrations, Calligraphy, and Painting by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product with some areas for improvement.

Tin is securely packaged and looks professional, all 24 metal watercolor half panels are included, have the same amount of paint and fit right in their rows and there is a good range of colours . The inclusion of 2 labeled paper swatches (black and white) and a water brush is a nice touch. Samples on Black Paper: All 24 colors are well represented, although some colors/shades are very similar to each other. Lighter shades of each color give an interesting effect. Samples on white paper: color/shade variations are more visible in visible colors, although some colors are difficult to see. The lighter colors are extra bright compared to the regular watercolors I usually use. What I like: + good variety of colors + each bowl is labeled with a sticker that you can cut to stick on the bottom later and no annoying cellophane + already 2 labeled paper samples for better comparison between dark and light paper is fantastic + the tray halves fit neatly into the rows and don't seem to want to fall out + the tin is long enough to hold a water brush (but not wide enough in between). rows) + Water brush included + Colors come out particularly well on dark paper Areas of improvement: - The close spacing of the rows of pots prevents the supplied water brush from falling into the case (see photo), if they were placed a little closer to the edges the brush could fit perfectly - As with other cans in this style, the extra palette flap opens at an angle (would be nice if they opened flat/flat so the mixes don't run). I haven't tried it on a real painting yet, but from the samples I hope I continue to like them. It's too early to say for sure, but if anyone asked (and had a coupon) I'd say definitely consider buying this watercolor set.

Pros
  • Craft and Sewing
