Love These Beautiful Colors!
I just received this set. I'm not a "watercolorist" but have taken some art classes and then an intro watercolor class way back when. I have to say, I'm really impressed with this Holbein set and did some swatches and blending and just played around. I've attached some photos of what I did. The Crimson Lake, Vermilion Hue and Permanent Yellow Light, mixed with a lot of water produced my favorite blend. I also think the Yellow Ochre was really lovely. I read that if a color is a "hue" that that means it has filler in it. But I don't think that matters much with Holbein watercolors. It all looks pretty good to me. Watercolorists with more experience with other brands may prefer the "one color/no filler" brands. But if the quality is there, I don't mind. And the quality seems to be very high with this brand. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant colors
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2019
Very pigmented and light fast. The individual colors are very vibrant. I had to get used to how little it takes to make a light wash. I was actually a bit concerned when I received these and realized that most of the colors were multi pigment paints. However they mixed very nicely. No muddy colors. This paint set pleasantly surprised me.

I thought you might like to see the mix chart to get a good feel for the colors.

Very affordable set for anyone looking to start in watercolor painting.
