SAKURAKoi Pocket Field Sketch Kit Creative Art Colors - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Unique Colors - 1 Water Brush - 2 Sponges - 1 Mixing Palette

My daughter loves this paint set. It’s compact, has a variety of colors, perfect for art projects.

I like the variation of colors and I like the way it was packaged

Good quality for the price. I like the compact case.

I had a lot of expectations for this set. Not only is it one of the most affordable pearlescent set out there, it also comes with florescent colors. I bought their 48 color field sketch and I use it almost daily. I ran into a problem with the 48 color field sketch because the paints were barely half full. I honestly did not expect to have the same thing happen with this one. Some of them are 2/3 or 3/4ths full. I got it replaced and returned the old one, so I got a slightly better one. However, its still not completely full full like it should be. I contacted Sakura about this and they had no answer for me about it. Which I can understand why, its one of the paints in the manufacturing that dried down more than other paints. But it's still less paint than other paints... I also ordered a protection plan for 4 years on it and I don't even know if it's gonna cover anything with a vague "drop, spills, etc".About the actual paint. It's not very pigmented if used with a bit of water, but it does shine very brightly. I have not tried the florescent on black paper but on white paper it's very neon. It dries normally but I would not buy it for the metallics. It's not opaque enough to be considered metallic. I am a beginner and a hobbyist, but I've tried layering the metallic to get that opaque metallic I wanted only to fail. But I've seen many people do amazing things with this paint.Pros:+Cheap pearlescent + flourescent set out there.+Easy to travel with.+Shines brightly on white paper.+Very pastelly colors on the flourescent. (PERSONAL PREFERENCE)Cons-Inconsistent amount of paint in some colors. (I might just be the unlucky one).-Not very pigmented colors.-Metallics are not opaque (do not buy it for the metallics).

I love the vibrant colors! I have purchased several different watercolor paints, in order to determine which kind I like the most. This one is definitely in the top tier.

I have the regular color set in the identical palette and I'd recommend that over this if it's your first or only palette. The only drawback is that none of this brand are lightfast so they're only good for sketchbook stuff (neons never are, just embrace it). I actually bought this on sale to use as an empty palette, because I couldn't bring myself to pull the colors out of the other one (they're just plain fun to use). And then I just fell in love with the neons. I might end up decanting the neons into quarter pans (they're more like half that) so I can reuse the palette as intended. Maybe.

The paints are alright, and the palette itself is a great travel size. However, the water brush is defective. It won't even screw together. Disappointing.

Beginner watercolor painter here, but as far as I can tell, very nice quality watercolors. The shimmer can be mixed with other opaque colors to make a nice sheen. They also stand alone by themselves. They also can dry on the mixing palette, and be re-hydrated/ used again without clumping. I've used other brushes with this paint, and the paint comes off nicely after a few wipes. No staining. Great value for the price. I would give this as a gift to a family member or anyone you really like!
