I wanted to begin water-coloring, and just checking the prices at the local art store made me almost reconsider. I got this as a cheap alternative and, boy, is it ever a cheap alternative.
The brushes are terrible. If you're going to get serious about painting, just invest in new brushes. I got some starter brushes at the store for $10, and they were significantly better than the brushes in this kit.
The paints are fine for a beginner. Some are more watery than others, some are thicker than others, a few were obviously mislabeled (red is blue?) but for a beginner like me they seemed fine. I was able to paint with them, and that was the important part.
Ditch the pad. It's too small. I got a small pad at the art store for $5, and that was fine.
The instructions are...well, just look up how to watercolor on the internet. Much better.
There's a few slightly useful plastic tools.
The box I received didn't close on its own and eventually, literally, fell apart one day. I just put the paints in some other box and didn't worry about it too much.
To sum up: this would be a great set for a child or someone who is not sure if they'd be interested in painting. Otherwise, just fork over some money for a slightly better set at an art shop.

I bought this for my Niece I wouldn't buy this for adults but for little kids I think it is great and a will hopefully get them interested in new and different things like painting and later hopefully music. this product arrived on time as well and she was very excited when it came in its own case.
