I used to work at an art supply store, so I tried several brands of watercolor paint. This was the first watercolor tube paint I tried, as I had previously only used cakes. Nothing I was painting was coming out the way I wanted them to. I was getting so frustrated with this stuff. It's got such large grains that is really hard to work with and some of the colors were not very lightfast, meaning that they fade easily.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, even if you are just a student or starting out. The frustration level is so high with these paints that you might give up painting completely.

Of course, Windsor and Newton is better, but there are some other good paints out there for less money. Utrecht's private label stuff is pretty good, as is DaVinci. my favorite best bargain watercolor was Liquitex watercolors, but they were soon discontinued after being released. I don't know why. That was really nice stuff. You can always water down Liquitex acrylics and use them as watercolors. Really, almost anything is better than this product.

I know some artists who like the results they get with this, so you mileage may vary.

What the previous reviewer wrote is spot-on. I received these as a gift. Such a sweet gesture on the giver's part, but thank god I didn't start painting with these or I would have abandoned the effort for good. Keep in mind I am coming from about three months of watercolor painting using Prang pan paints, nothing fancy. These are disastrous.

I assumed this product was new because it doesn't say it's used.... wrong! box is ripped and worn, taped shut, interior paint tray is cracked and tubes are used. Previous owner used the brush and must've set it to a point with glue....it's ruined. I'm returning this product.
