    I really like the way this kit is set up, very compact and small with just the right set of colors, except the white, which no real watercolor artist uses. I suggest it for my beginners. However, the paints are student quality and can be frustrating with their lack of pigment. As my students grown in their skill, I suggest the substitute they artist quality Winsor Newton paints for the Cotman paints in their box. I have used this set up for years when I want to travel light. I do not use the brush and use a waterbrush instead, which is very handy.

    I bought this little pocket sized watercolor set to use for casual sketching out of doors and doing quick color studies. It's small and compact. I recommend using a Pentel Arts Aquash Water Brush for convenience.

    The colors are bright if you add enough water.

    A great, little beginner set at a reasonable price. It would make a lovely present for a young artist.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, March 9, 2011

    This set is around the size of an iPhone, I knew this before I purchased because I saw it in the store, at a higher cost. I wish this set had a black, insted of white-- which is practically useless. Another reviewer mentioned this was an easy fix, filling the place for the white with black from a tube. Beautiful paints, with an expensive, waxy texture that makes for high pigmentation, aside from the white/black issue, these are 10/10. Even so, I love it.
