Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Paint Set, Lightweight Sketchers' Box, 12 x 5ml Tubes

FABULOUS!!! Beautiful saturation and creamy colors. A little goes a long way. I wish I had started with tubes years ago. 10/10

Beautiful, high quality professional grade watercolors. I hesitating buying professional paints for a long time but now I see what I was missing. These, along with Arches watercolor paper, has really stepped up my art game!

Great selection of basic colors but professional quality paint, very happy with this product.

Please note that not all the tubes from my picture are included in the Sketchers' Box (Antwerp Blue, Olive), I ran out of some of the paints before snapping a picture. Additionally the Sketchers' Box does not come with the pans as pictured.----At first I was skeptical given the price-point of this set as it was one of my first professional sets. Previously I worked with the Windsor and Newton Cotman Set and KOI Watercolors, but now I have these it's tough to go back to student grade. I find them so much more pleasant to work with due to how nicely they flow and how rich the colors are. It feels like I don't have to soak up as much water on the brush to get the paints to behave how I want them to compared to the Cotman sets. They're honestly a delight to use as paints.I wasn't as impressed with the tin they came in. It seemed to be partially dented on the top and is hard to close, so I don't usually travel with this tin and have re-panned the colors into another kit for travel. In the future I would likely not purchase this set and may opt for either the W&N Professional Compact Set, 12 Half Pans and Accessories, another W&N Professional set with pans, or just buy the tubes needed individually.

The colors are true to what they say they are.

It was a serious splurge to invest in these and I was worried that the price tag wouldn't prove to be worth it. WRONG! Going from using the cheapest art store brand to these watercolors is nothing short of magical. The colors are so vibrant and pigmented. Even using trash brushes and scrap paper they performed incredibly well, until I got something a bit more quality. Overall, I love 'em and I will be buying more when I run out.P.S. I HIGHLY recommend getting some pans/half-pans and filling them yourself instead of using it straight from the tube, you'll get WAY more bang for your buck that way.

All the colors you’ll need. You can mix virtually any color you’ll need with the paints supplied. The metal case is great in the field.
