I bought this kit for myself and I love it! The paints in this kit are all Cotman series 1 AA paints, but even with that said, the kit is a great price for beginners and intermediate users of water color. You may even consider purchasing this just for the paint itself, as a starter kit. Or, if you are an intermediate painter with other water color paint tubes, (assuming you won't use the removable mixing palette) you can remove the mixing palette and store some paint tubes in there. This kit basically gives you everything you need to start water color painting (excluding water and paint)!
There are eight mixing holes built into the container itself (about 2.5 inches and 1 1/3 inches), and another mixing palette becomes available by popping it out of the container. The built in mixing container was not too useful for me because I move around a lot while painting, but the removable mixing palette was very nice. I received a Cotman brush which was decent quality and good for a beginner. The paints are locked in place via a snug/snap style housing, so you don't have to worry about paint tube rolling all over the place
The paint was very smooth and the colors were concentrated and vibrant.
I must mention is that the container is slightly awkward to open. It says "Press Here to Open", and as soon as you do that it opens up easily, but it has such an awkward feel to the way it opens. While I have not damaged my container yet, the plastic does feel weak and I worry about what may happen if I drop it from the table.
So to recap:
Pros:
1. Excellent price!
2. Great selection of paint colors (12).
3. Awesome for beginners and comes with everything to start.
4. Paint quality is very good.
Cons:
1. Plastic kit container.
2. Awkward feel when opening.Paints are good, delivery was good, price was excellent. nothing to complain about, bought two sets and the price could not be beat.
