ARTISTROProfessional Watercolor Paint Set for Adults - 24 Pigment-Rich Colors, XL Pans, ASTM-I Lightfastness, High Tinting Strength Watercolor Set for Professionals made by professionals

I love this watercolor set! The paints have a smooth, creamy texture and are highly pigmented, perfect for both beginners and more advanced artists. The pans are large and easy to use, and they wet quickly with just a little water, making them super convenient. The variety of colors is fantastic, and the range includes both transparent and opaque options, which is great for creating depth in my work. The set comes in a lovely box, which adds a nice touch if you're thinking of gifting it. Overall, it’s a wonderful set for anyone looking for vibrant colors and ease of use.

Die Aquarellfarben kommen in einer hübschen Pappschachtel daher. Die Farben selber sind in recht großen Kunststoffnäpfen integriert. Was mir erst unangenehm auffiel war, das die Farben recht glänzen und etwas kleben wenn man diese anfasst. Ein Pinsel ist übrigens nicht dabei, was ich persönlich noch ganz nett gefunden hätte. Die mitgelieferte Karte ist wunderbar zum ersten ausprobieren der Farben und zeigen die volle Möglichkeit der Pigmente.Ich hätte nicht damit gerechnet, das es tatsächlich so ein gutes Set ist.

Dieser Aquarell Farbkasten von Artistro ist sehr gut. Ein kleines Testpapier ist im Lieferumfang enthalten, auf dem Man die Verschiedenen Farben ausprobieren kann. Es sind 12 große Farbnäpfe im Set enthalten. Die Pigmente sind sehr schön, allerdings finde ich die Näpfchen etwas zu groß, da man sie in keinen Normalen Aquarellkasten mit einpflegen kann, denn Kästen mit Metalleinspannung für die Näpfchen, haben engere Lücken für die Näpfchen. Hier ist aber ein wirklich toller Kasten zusammengekommen! Ich bin wirklich begeistert von den Pigmenten, und dem Granulationsverhalten der Farben.FazitGute QualitätPreisleistungsverhältnis ist gutSchöne FarbenGroße Menge (4ml pro Näpfchen)Ich durfte dieses Produkt im Rahmen des kostenlosen Amazon Vine Programms testen und dies beeinflusst meine Wertung nicht.

I’ve tried Artistro paints that come in a metal tin, and didn’t like the chalky paints. However, this set has much better paint in it compared to the Artistro metal tin sets. The paint here is bright, mixes well and has good clarity, especially for the price. Paint that is more opaque in this set is supposed to be more opaque, because of the pigments involved. The Japanese style of packaging is really nice. Summary: good set, I recommend!Details: You can mix colors easily, the paint rewets easily, the color selection is decent, and they are OK on cheaper paper. It’s easy to use a larger brush in the extra large pans.It’s interesting to me that the packaging and the size/shape of the pans are like those of Japanese-style Gansai paints, which are not known for being transparent or good for mixing, though they’re fun and colorful. These paints behave more like western watercolors, because they mix well, most of them are transparent, and the pigmentation qualities seem familiar.The Japanese-style cardboard box design is charming and cute, but of course I overturned a couple of pans before I realized the pans are not attached to the box and can easily fall out of the box if you’re not careful. The set also comes with a nice plastic overlay to help keep the paints in place and perhaps reduce leakage. Pigment numbers are not included, although there are some indicators for opacity and lightfastness, some of which I possibly wouldn’t trust. They label “Magnesium Brown” as transparent when it’s obviously partly opaque here, for example.I’m a trained and experienced watercolorist, and I like these paints a lot. They’re not quite artist grade, but they are bright, mix well, offer a range of values, have a good choice of colors in the set, are in Japanese-style extra large, shallow pans which are easy to use, and come in a very nice patterned box. It would be an attractive gift, too. Easy to recommend!PAINT DETAILS:The colors have their own names and no pigments are listed, but here are roughly what the equivalents are:1. “Deep Carmine”. Pretty much the equivalent of a Permanent Rose, a transparent, pinkish red on the blue side. Perfect for being the only red. Add a little orange or yellow, and you’ve got a vermilion.2. Orange: a partially opaque mid-orange, nice color.3. “Brilliant Yellow”. A good mid-yellow for mixing, nice and bright on its own.4. Magnesium Brown”. Looks like a middle-hued earth color. Not as transparent as Artistro labels it, not as reddish brown as true Manganese Brown, PBr25. Mixes well, though partially opaque. Like a cross between raw Siena and burnt sienna?5. “Leaf Green”. Light yellowish green, similar to grass green in some paints. Not heavy pigmentation.6. “Turquoise”. Looks like a cobalt turquoise, a darker green with blue type of turquoise, but that’s an expensive pigment, so I don’t know what it is made of. Good pigmentation.7. “Phthalo Turquoise”. A blue with a strong green component. Mid-value, good pigmentation.8. “Ultramarine”. Looks like a nice standard reddish ultramarine blue, with a tiny bit of granulation.9. “Purple”. Deeply pigmented, obviously RED violet, very strong.10. “Violet”. Strongly pigmented blue-ish purple. Looks a lot like Dioxazine Violet in color and wide value range.11. “Titanium White”. Looks like fairly opaque titanium white.12. “Deep Black”. This is indeed a very deep and dark black that covers my black sharpie line almost completely. Darker than most watercolor blacks I’ve encountered.I hope my review helps!

Dieses 12er-Set ist der perfekte Einstieg in die Aquarellmalerei. Sie erinnern mich sehr an die Kuretake Gansai (wahrscheinlich sind sie auch darauf angelehnt).Das Set besteht aus einer Karton-Schachtel, einer Swatchcard (da fehlt mir persönlich die Pigmentangaben) und einem Schutzplastik.Die Farbauswahl ist super. Man kann in allen Richtungen mischen. Die einzige Farbe, die mich nicht so überzeugt hat, war das Leaf Green. Da fehlt mir irgendwie der tiefere Tint.Angesichts des Preises kann man hier wirklich nicht meckern. Sie kosten ca. 17 Euro - bekannte Marken verlangen 30 Euro aufwärts (sind aber dafür auch farbintensiver).
