Schmincke - HORADAM® AQUARELL Color Box with 48 Finest Watercolors, 74448097, Black Metal Box, Painting Set, Premium Watercolors, 48 x 1/2 Pans

High qualityWonderful colors

Creamy, vibrant, stunning high quality paints! The color selection in this palette is exceptional. I like This paint for so many reasons, but briefly, I love that you can paint thick and bold, or translucent and dreamy and all sorts of inbetween and have stable consistent lasting color. If you like to paint on trips, vacations, or visits to the park, you will have every color you need and several convenience colors to paint with, including flesh tones. The palette tin is the same as the Sennelier tin of 48 paints. I sand down the sharp edges with sand paper, and I don't rely on the clips to hold the paints in. I add magnets to the bottoms of the pans. I write the color name and brand name on the pans in black sharpie. This way I can use my favorite paints in a smaller tin if I have need of a smaller palette. Adding magnets does add some weight to the palette. Overall, this paint is worth the cost. A little really does go a long way. If you buy it use it, don't treat it precious and be afraid to have fun with it. The only wasted art tool is one that is not used and life is just too short to have things that bring you joy and not use them.

The colors are fantastic and perfect quality and I love unwrapping the individual colors. The container holding the paints easily lifts out (but not too easily where it all falls).

Im a professional artist. I have used SCHMINKE WC for 30 years. Love their intensity, pureness and transparency. Especially in the cadmium colors. Love their cad orange. The colbalt blue has less gum arabic in it which gives it better flow than many other WC brands. Easy to purchase replacement chips. The pallette tin is great for traveling. It is pricey but well worth the quality of pigment. I highly recommend it.

Schmincke makes wonderful paint and this palette is an excellent selection of colors.Artist grade paint.Schmincke equals excellence. This is a great set!

What can I say? Art supplies are my drug of choice - and these are just so yummy!

This is the second set of Schmincke watercolors I’ve bought on Amazon. They make really nice, professional quality paints. My only complaint is that this seller, just like the last one, shipped this is a flat pack that allowed the metal case to get dinged. I wish they would ship in a small cardboard box or wrap them with more bubble wrap, because they’re very expensive and I didn’t even get to enjoy them being pristine once. With enough use and travel, there will eventually be more little dents and dings, which is why I let it go. The case is a bit smaller and lighter than my other one, but of course with no extra space to add any other colors

This is a wonderful set. First time painting with schmincke watercolors and they are wonderful. This set is comprehensive for the most part and so mixing isn’t so much of a concern. Yes, it is expensive but price matches with quality in this case. Really happy with vendor they came well packaged and shipping time was good.
