AQUAFINE Watercolour Metallkasten Reise-Dose 18 x 1/2 Näpfchen, 1 Pinsel, 2 Paletten

In the first photo you can see the size of it in comparison to some other travel sets I have, which are very popular. The Aquafina is next to the kuretake gansai tambi, bellow the cotman Windsor and newton sketcher and van gogh. I have been meaning to get set for a while since I have heard great things about the watercolor themselves, but I wanted this one set in particular cause of the palette and its size. I don't like the metal boxes of other sets by the same maker, they seem bulky with lots of waste space, little mixing area etc.This set is still rather small considering you get 24 colors. The box is slim, light, very compact and great quality. You have plenty of space for mixing cause you can also take the tray where the watercolors are out of the box. Just for this alone I give them 10 plus!The color selection is very well thought even includes a portrait pink which comes rather handy as is not that easy mixing skin tones on the go, it also includes white which most traditional watercolorist usually despise 😀 but it can be quite useful when it comes to mixing colors if you don't want to just waterdown colors.Colors mix beautifully retaining their vibrancy and translucency. They are easily reactivated almost as Russian or Ukrainian makers although they are not moist or sticky as they tend to be. You can layer or do glazing. The greatest surprise was to see granulation in most of the colors which seems to be absent in today modern sets, some makers even advertise the lack of it, which is part of the character of this delightful medium.Lightfastness is also very good if that is one of your concerns. This is simply a great quality set for the serious student and artist on the go.Great palette of traditional colors great for landscaping, urban sketching, botanicals, portrait etc. Excellent price and product.Made in England.

I am a complete beginner to watercolor, as in I've never painted a thing before 2 days ago. I wasn't expecting much but I absolutely love these paints. They are creamy and pigmented and the 24 half-pan selection is perfect as it covers all the main primaries, secondaries and earth tones which is great for beginners who are not yet comfortable with color theory and mixing. The palette itself is made of high-quality white plastic and feels quite sturdy. It also comes with a round No. 4 brush which is good for smaller details.Overall, I LOVE this palette and think it's the perfect beginner watercolor palette based on quality, usability and price.Attached are my swatch sheet and a few basic paintings to give you a sense of what this palette can do.

So I LOVE this palette for many reasons. First, it's a great size for traveling. It would fit in a bag or purse easily. Heck, maybe even an oversized pocket. It's also great if you don't have a lot of desk space or just want to try out watercolors. Not too many colors gives you opportunities to learn color theory / color mixing.Second, the brush! I have a personal hate for waterbrushes that typically come in travel palettes or are marketed as travel waterbrushes. I just flat out do not like them, however a big reason why I wanted this palette was the fact that the brush is a regular brush (just a smaller handle).Third, no white. If you don't know much about watercolor or have never used watercolors before, you might be turned off by the fact that this palette has no white. However, for me this is a pro! In watercolor, you really don't use the white color. In mixing it does not make your colors lighter (makes them cloudy) and if you want to add white you would either leave that space empty or use gouache/acrylic/gel pen. White watercolor is transparent, so it wouldn't work like the other examples. Black is also not included (instead you get Payne's Grey).The mixing palette lid is pretty decent for mixing on the go. I don't really use the water wells on the sides, but it is nice that they are included. I was thinking of trying to cut up a sponge and place it in those spots!Really, the only cons I have for this palette is that the brush can be a little hard to get back into place (you really have to push it in) and the individual pans can be a little difficult to get out.Also, between the time of me buying this and the review, the price has gone up a few dollars. I bought mine for less than $12.
