I must admit, I expected these to be lesser quality than they proved to be, and while they definitely aren't anywhere near higher priced paints, they are still useable. These are very bright/pigmented (especially the magenta and yellows) and I've found many uses for them. The only problems I've run into is the tubes seem to be a little too under pressure, and even after a few uses I find opening the caps will result in more product squirting out than needed. While I can handle that, some of the colors are gritty. Particularly the dark blues.. I've had visible grits of paint that refuse to dissolve show up in washes. Not cool! For the price, I can't complain a whole lot but I think for those just playing around or trying new things, or for personal purposes such as art journaling these would be good.
Another downfall would be that the package they come in isn't really good for storing them.. I threw it out and have since organized them in another way. The brushes they come with are of decent quality, though. These are definitely worth the current price tag of around $8, which is why I'm torn as to rate them three or four stars. Three, I suppose for general opinion and not in relation to their price or anything else.

My daughter used these for her Calligraphy and Illumination class the variety was great, brushes usable, and the paints performed well for a beginner. I realize there are better quality paints out there but for the price we paid, this product was stellar!
