ARTISTRO Watercolor Paint Set - 24 Colors, Travel Watercolor Set in Portable Box, Mini Water Colors for Kids, Adults & Hobbyists

I'm just a beginner in the art field, and have had a few sessions encouraging me to use portable watercolour kits. You can get smaller, more portable ones, but I was drawn to the colours of this palette, as there are 48 which makes a great basic kit for a starter. It exceeded expectations. Arrived very promptly, and came with 10 sheets of watercolour paper, which I hadn't expected. It contains a water fillable brush, normal brush and ink pen to draw with. There's a colour mix card to test on when using it, plus a colour reference card that sits neatly over the paints when used. I'm doing nature drawing, so I'm particularly happy with the selection of greens. There are three little mixer slots in the tin lid, and a sponge for soaking off excess water. I'm over the moon with it. It would make a lovely gift for the amateur / starter artist in your life. It is a little chunkier than some others, but that is due to the excellent contents. Will definitely purchase again.

Mine was missing the paper but their customer services have been great, even over a small item. I am loving the palette itself. I’m a newbie to watercolour painting but I have managed to already paint some ok things. There are plenty of colours which means even more ability to mix and the colours are well pigmented. Such a handy size too.

Excellent, lightweight, good range of colours for the size - this is simple and easy. Easy to carry with you and paint anywhere, I haven’t tried the paper that comes with it.

…but as of now, I’m leaving 4 stars for presentation and packaging. Everything is beautifully packaged, the case is very handy and fits all necessities to get started with painting. I haven’t touched any type of paint since about 20 years, and I was aware of what I’m getting when buying Artistro. There are many mixed reviews, but I can’t agree with most negative ones, because you get everything in 1 beautiful pack, the paper supplied with the kit is very high quality, literally the perfect type of paper for watercolour paints. When it comes to painting, the quality of paper is crucial, even with very good paints but poor quality paper you won’t be able to do much. The paper supplied is a small size, but who said you have to always paint on big canvas? It’s just up to preference, after reading the description you obviously should know what you’re getting, and you can always buy some more paper separately. Although I’ve seen harsh reviews on YouTube, saying that this kit isn’t at all worth it and it’s better to spend more money on expensive stuff, I absolutely can’t agree with those! In contrast, look up on YouTube „Artistro Meringue tutorial”, and you will find a review of the travel set, and you will see that these paints aren’t as bad as some people say they are. As long as your batch is fine, these are definitely usable That being said, this of course is not a professional kit for professional artists, but it is a great kit for beginners who are just getting started, or just don’t really know what they want, or just want to play around. It would also make a great gift for kids who enjoy art. Overall, for what you’re getting, I would recommend for anyone who wants to start creating. I will update my review with some pictures later after I’ll get used to these, because for now as a total beginner, there’s no point uploading just some random splashes of paint. The package includes: - 48 beautiful watercolour paints, including 4 metallic - a sponge - an eraser - a pencil - a waterbrush - a fine brush for details - 10 sheets of small size 300gsm watercolour paper

As a beginner I am very happy with my purchase, the colours are quite pigmented and I was quite pleased. Made all my christmas cards this year with these. Loved the brushes that came with it as well and the paper too

Brilliant kit. Learning to paint and its been fantastic to use. Great product and price for a beginner or travel kit.

Lovely set

Vibrant colours, blend beautifully, and the portable box is great for travel. Excellent for beginners and hobby artists.
