Beginner Watercolor Painting Wood Box Set User Reviews

quite nice for an inexpensive starter set, After looking in stores, was happy this was as nice as it was at such a great price

I bought this for my Niece - I wouldn't buy this for adults but for little kids I think it is great and a will hopefully get them interested in new and different things like painting and later hopefully music. - this product arrived on time as well and she was very excited when it came in its own case.

It is hard to wait to give him this as I hope he will be as excited as I am just waiting. This is great for anyone just starting to explore watercolors and will continue to serve well even when things must be replaced. I am planning on getting one for our Grandaughter in the near future..

I bought this same kit a few years ago from Lillian Vernon for around $30. For the price Amazon is selling it for it is a steal. My grandson was four when I bought it for him and he is now six and he has just now ran out of paint. The wooden box is very nice and for a child the brushes are just fine. If a child becomes an artist then pay the money for top of the line brushes but not before.

This is ok quality, a true beginner's set. What it needs for sure is more structure in the box, so that the supplies aren't falling all over the place.

I wanted to begin water-coloring, and just checking the prices at the local art store made me almost reconsider. I got this as a cheap alternative and, boy, is it ever a cheap alternative.- The brushes are terrible. If you're going to get serious about painting, just invest in new brushes. I got some starter brushes at the store for $10, and they were significantly better than the brushes in this kit.- The paints are fine for a beginner. Some are more watery than others, some are thicker than others, a few were obviously mislabeled (red is blue?) but for a beginner like me they seemed fine. I was able to paint with them, and that was the important part.- Ditch the pad. It's too small. I got a small pad at the art store for $5, and that was fine.- The instructions are...well, just look up how to watercolor on the internet. Much better.- There's a few slightly useful plastic tools.- The box I received didn't close on its own and eventually, literally, fell apart one day. I just put the paints in some other box and didn't worry about it too much.To sum up: this would be a great set for a child or someone who is not sure if they'd be interested in painting. Otherwise, just fork over some money for a slightly better set at an art shop.
