Sennelier La Petite Aquarelle 12 10Ml Tubes

This is a great set. Sennelier provides the color chart on the side of the box in which the paint set comes and it includes color number, ASTM rating, Opacity/Transparency rating and color name in French and English. They use the same color numbers to identify the colors as the professional line (some name colors are different) which tells you that they probably use the same pigments in their student and professional lines. Although, they obviously would use less pigment in the student line than they would in the professional line. Just a couple of the paints vary/differ from their professional counterpart in terms of ratings which could be because they are using hues instead of the real thing for some pigments (which can make them more stable/lightfast). Note some color names are meant to help beginners pick the "right" color for mixing and practicing and to make it easier to understand colors for beginners, as well as make a difference between the professional and student lines; ergo the 'primary' in some color names and the simplification of other like 'green yellow'. The information and ratings shown in the box are as follows: Reading Guide: Color Number Color Name - ASTM Rating - Opacity/Transparency Rating (T/O means Semi Transparent and/or Semi Opaque) After the ~~~ I have added the professional line paint color name corresponding to the same paint number, in the cases where the name was changed, for reference and/or comparison and I have included their pigment number/code for each of the professional paints as per the Sennelier catalog and website. In cases where there is no name change you will see just the pigment codes followed by the ASTM Rating and T/O Rating in parenthesis. (I just thought this might be easier than looking at a big chart where all the info is spread out over a whole sheet as opposed to in a list.) 116 Titanium White - I - O ~~~ PW6 (I - O) 501 Lemon Yellow - II - T ~~~ PY3 (II - T) 574 Primary Yellow - III - T/O ~~~ PY74 (n.r. - T/O) 579 Sennelier Yellow - n.r. - T/O ~~~ Sennelier Yellow Deep PY83, PY153 (I - T/O) 645 Orange - n.r. - T ~~~ Chinese Orange PY150, PR209, PBr23 (I -T) 641 Sennelier Orange - n.r. - T ~~~ PO73 (n.r. - T/O) 695 Primary Red - n.r. - T ~~~ Alizarin Crimson Lake PR83 (III -T) 690 Rose Madder Lacquer - I - T ~~~ Rose Madder Lake PV19 (I - T) 913 Cobalt Violet Hue - I - T ~~~ Cobalt Violete Deep Hue PR122, PV16 (II - T/O) 315 Ultramarine - I - T ~~~ Ultramarine Deep PB29 (I - T) 307 Cobalt Blue Hue - I - O ~~~ Cobalt Blue PB28 (I - T) 341 Phthalo.

I'm learning watercolor, so don't blame the paints for my issues. I love these paints and they do everything I ask them to. If that changes as I learn, I'll let you know.

Definitively the best watercolor set is in the market, unique vibran colors! The only issue was that several paint blocks came unorganized and one of the blocks suffered some fisures on the shipment.

Best water color ever! Smooth and even application. Vibrant colors! Quality is amazing size is perfect for traveling!

I just started water coloring about a year ago. I bought so many different brands to try out but even on the best papers they still did not wow me. I put it aside because I was not getting the feel and results of water coloring. Just recently I signed up for a class and the woman was using Sennilier paints. I use their pastels and love them so I thought I would try their watercolors. Yesterday I spent time using all the brands I had on good paper and average paper. I still had a problem with getting the paint to look smooth like the instructors examples. I decided to try Sennilier. WOW! They are wonderful!! My frustrations with doing this medium was because I was using the wrong paints. You need the right tool for the right job and these did the trick. Even on student grade paper they look great! I would highly recommend these paints. Now I will be adding more to my wish list.

I bought these as a poor man's back up to certain colors. I've been using daniel smith and some Windsor and newtons. I hate to say that I was very surprised at the creaminess. I prefer tube/wet paint because you just can't seem to get right enough color. These are awesome. I did have a few fall out of the pans, but no problem there. I've only done a few things with them so far and I did them on cheap paper, but I love them. One teeny drop of water and you get a lovely righ color.Nice depth and spreadablity, Not sure how well they lighten yet, I got some hard lines, but again, cheap paper.the box was very thick and seems sturdy. Update: I am not sure what to think. I did test runs of the colors and they separated, and made hard likes when they dried. (See image) they bled and watermarked, a lot. I guess it actually can lend an interesting texture to your painting, but I am not thrilled anymore. I'm a bit worried to use them on a nice painting. I tried a quick poppy, with thick paint to see what I would get. Not loving it. The thick areas seem chalky. Changing my review to 3 stars. Too many unknowns with the paint.

I have enjoyed this purchase. Easy to take with me in a pouch in my purse so I can sketch and paint anytime anywhere. Nice rich colors. I am an amateur painter.

If I could give this a zero O would. Paints arrived in a jumbled mess and the quality is for someone perhaps in preschool. Now that I've tried them, I'm stuck with them. I won't even try to give them away to strangers, they're that bad. Save yourself the money and buy real watercolor paints because this is absolute crap.

Pigmente werden schnell ohne viel Aufwand aufgenommen

Débutant en aquarelle, j’ai essayé les formats tube et godet et ce format tube dure beaucoup plus longtemps que les formats godets pour un prix similaire. Belles couleurs, se mélangent bien, la boîte sert aussi de palette, vraiment pratique

Uso da anni i prodotti Sennelier, sono tra i mie acquarelli preferiti per la luminosità, la finezza e la bellezza vivida di questi colori. Nonostante abbia già un set di acquarelli professionale in godet, quest'anno ho voluto regalarmi anche questo set indicato per principianti che è ottimo anche per i professionisti. La scatola è interamente di plastica. I colori sono 12 tubetti di 10ml ciascuno più un pennellino. Entrambi i recipienti ,quello che contiene i colori e il principale dove vengono miscelati, sono entrambi estraibili e quindi di facile pulizia. Alla base della confezione c'è una fascia elastica che consente di infilare la mano per sostenere in modo sicuro l'intero set se sii dipinge in esterno. Il tutto arriva in un ulteriore scatola di cartone che protegge l'intera confezione. Consiglio il prodotto senza dubbio!

Cuando pienso en acuarelas, Sennelier siempre se me viene a la cabeza! Estas acuarelas son muy agradables, elegantes y cómodas de utilizar. Son muy transparentes (excepto el blanco obviamente que es bastante opaco), se mezclan muy bien y cuando se secan quedan más claritas ya que están hechas para toda aquella gente que le gusta pintar en muchas capas . Los artistas que dibujan paisajes conocen muy bien esta marca, ya que las mezclas de los colores dan tonos de tierra, verdes preciosos, tonos muy naturales por así decirlo, no tan saturados como los de Winsor and Newton . Sennelier tiene una muy buena imagen por la excelente calidad de sus productos, todos los artistas se enamoran al instante con sus productos, 10/10 recomendable 100% Y el pincel es también muy bueno.

This watercolor paint set and the palette are of good quality. The palette is one of my favorites as it can hold 12 more half-pans of paint in the middle. There is enough room at the top of each row of paint to put a sticker with the name of the paint. The mixing area in the lid is well-designed and useful. If you scrub the mixing palette with something rough the paint will not bead up. The paint is easy to rewet and is highly pigmented. I have used the smaller set of 12 and I think that the vibrancy of the paint has increased. I highly recommend this paint set for the quality. The beautiful case with an embossed logo and the high-quality paint makes a great gift.
