WHITE NIGHTS Anniversary Set 85 Year, 36 2.5ml Full Pans Artists Watercolors in Plastic Case

I love these watercolors. They are vibrant and lasting on the paper. It takes only a small amount of paint to get great color and saturation. These are the first watercolors I've used that are professional grade, and although I've gotten good results from the less expensive sets I've used during my first years of painting, I can tell a big difference in the quality of these White Nights paints. I think they are well worth the money.

Great value on this set. Only two or three of the pigments were a little questionable. The rest were all amazing watercolors that I would compare to a much more expensive set.

These watercolors are an absolute joy to work with! These paints activate quickly and are wonderfully creamy. They are highly pigmented, and have no chalky residue. They’re mostly single pigment colors, and mix well together without getting muddy. They flow very well. I have other professional watercolors that I love using, but honestly, these have become my go to, and I’m only disappointed that I waited so long to try them!

I love these paints so much that I purchased a set for my cousin as well

I was a little nervous about spending this kind of money on a pink side because I’m not a professional I just enjoy doing it and it relieves stress but this site is everything I thought it would be it’s absolutely gorgeous on paper beautiful colors lays down beautiful able to go from dark to light pretty easy in the case it came in was just what I was wanting I would buy it again and suggest it to anyone who’s looking for a good paint set

Great quality paints for much less than competitors. I know these are not technically professional grade paints, but they are great quality. The colors are bright and transparent and blend easily. I also love the sheer member of different reds and browns, both cool and warm. The Payne's grey is a gorgeous, velvety grey.

I own several sets of watercolors but this is by far my favorite. I love the variety, the vibrancy, the lightfastness, and the highly pigmented colors. I will say it is very sticky but this allows for nice texturing in my work as a detail artist.

I was unsure about this set when I ordered it, but it is a beautiful set of watercolors. They re-wet easily and are creamy to use. The only down side was they fall out of the palette easily. I purchased some double stick foam tape that fits perfectly, and resolved that problem! I really enjoy using them!

I really appreciate the detailed chart on the back of the box with lightfastness ratings of the individual colours, transparency, staining and granulating paints. It makes working with the colours even easier and enjoyable. Very sturdy and sleek container with a detachable palette. I'm glad I got a professional watercolour palette straight up. If you'd like more 'traditional' colours, then the 36 pan Unique set has colours like sap green. That set has one more green too. I tossed up between the two different sets, but I don't think you can go wrong with either. I'm happy to work with the unique shades in this one too. I wish I knew the backstory behind this Anniversary set.If you want to try these paints for a lesser price, the Sonnet series are the same paints but in minimal packaging and without individual wrapping. I also purchased the Sonnet Studio 21 set for a few different colours and it's smaller packaging.White Nights/Sonnet watercolour paints are really beautiful, rich, transparent, vibrant and easy to work. Full pans too.The photo with the flowers is wet on wet. The shade Carmine. I just wanted to show the bloom.Have no doubts about the quality of White Nights watercolours.Caveat: these paints are high in pigment and gum/honey. So, some colours need a lot of water to activate. I initially sprayed the palette with water. That wasn't enough. It needs 2-3 pipette drops of water in each pan. The pans are flat or slightly concave so that works fine. In the beginner's Sonnet Studio 21 set, I didn't have that problem but, the few colours that need more water for activation are in the professional set.
