Turner Paint Set Professional Artists' High Pigment Concentrated Watercolor Paint Set [Set of 18] 5ml Tubes - Assorted Colors

The size and color selection of these paints are great for beginning watercolor artists, such as myself. I can practice to my heart's content and once I am more experienced, I will order the larger size paint kits. Great quality and price

These are okay. I saw someone using them to paint such a beautiful photo and the paints seemed great, having them in my hands was a little different.Some of the colors seem streaky, and the maya red is SO weak. I actually despise that maya red, it's my paint enemy. Besides that, the color selection is okay. I would have liked a quinacridone magenta somewhere in there.Before you use them I would spritz with water, because I feel like you have to work the paints with a wet brush to get a good color payoff. Getting them damp before hand really helps.So these are okay overall, not terrible, but they aren't going to be my main set of paints. I'll probably use them for practice. I am going to stick with my QoR watercolor set by Golden because THOSE are truely amazing.

This is a great watercolor . . . my only surprise was when I opened the box and the tubes were smallerthan the box height. I"ll still use the paint, I'll just have to check the size of the tubes the next time.I assumed that the box height would be the same size as the open stock paints that I bought at the store.

These were my first set of professional watercolors a couple years ago and I love them. I have other brands of professional watercolors now and I still find myself going back to these a lot. They are wonderful paints and a great price, you really can't go wrong with these.

Love the quality and coverage

Not an artist myself but my girl friend is and was satisfied

Colors were very runny and not as expected.

Clear colors that mix nicely. Was prefer a better red that is stronger and no white or black. Watercolorists almost never use those tubes. I made a small travel pallette in a tin and these worked well. There were some inconsistencies in the thickness of paints out of the tubes. Not sure why.
