285610005 Extra Fine Essentials Introductory Watercolor, 6 Tubes, 5ml, Blue/Transparent/Yellow, 0.17 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)

I have always wanted to try these but price kept me away.I wish I had got them sooner. They are truly amazing.They are strong ,vibrant and mix beautifully. They rewet easily and are a joy to work with. They are loaded with pigment and a very little go a long way.

Wow! I started watercolor with cheaper supplies, both paper and paint. When these arrived, I had to give them a try. The colors are vibrant, rich, but still transparent. Absolutely stunning! Then I used them as I have my others, and the result was a disaster because I used far more paint than needed. This is a "me" problem, not the paint. I will have to play around with these to get a feel for them. I'm so glad I treated myself to these. The color just glides across the page, a little goes a long way, and they mix well, though admittedly I haven't spent more than an hour with them. These are fantastic paints, and though the tubes are tiny, I don't anticipate running out any time soon.

I don't know any artist that doesn't like Daniel Smith watercolor. The price might seem high if you are new to watercolor, but it is well worth the price and because of the high pigmentation it lasts a long time. It only takes a small amount. I use the tube paints after I squeeze them into a palette. I let them dry a couple of days before use. These paints do not require you to spray with water. As soon as you touch the paint pan with the wet brush you are ready to go. I paint a lot. The 15 ml tubes will last a long time. The 5 ml tubes last a long time and perfect for trying out a color. If you are using any of the phthalo colors, you will use less since these are very pigmented and you just need a touch when mixing with another color. Something like an Ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, these colors you would get a lot of use from and a 15 ml tube would be good. If you are just starting to use water color this set is so good because you won't get overwhelmed and you will learn color mixing skills. I would add to this set 2 Earth colors like burnt sienna and raw umber.

Great colors and plenty of pigment. This brand of paint has been recommended by numerous artist friends.

Overall good colors just

Best set to start with without breaking the bank. The colors are beautiful and easy to work with. A little goes a loooong way. Well worth the price. Now that I know how good they are, I plan to get the 15 ml tubes for better deal per oz.

Always excellent water color paints.

These watercolors are natural beauty in a tube. My favorite is the amethyst genuine. It sparkles! Most of these provide granulation (where solids from the paint settle and dry on the surface they’re applied to). I wasn’t feeling that into watercolor paints but decided to try these, and now I’m smitten. I think it’s cool that I can paint with minerals and I’m planning to buy more like these from the Daniel Smith line. If you are on the fence on buying these for yourself or for a gift, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

Cores vibrantes. Qualidade de topo

Zu Daniel Smith Aquarellfarbe kam ich eher zufällig. Ich suchte eine ganz bestimmte Farbe. Die Begeisterung allerdings war enorm nach dem ersten Arbeiten mit dieser Farbe. Schnell fiel die Entscheidung für dieses Set. Die Farben sind mein absoluter Favorit. Hochpigmentierte Farbe mit Leuchtkraft. Sie verblassen nicht nach dem Trocknen. Die Textur ist brilliant. Klare Kaufempfehlung trotz hohem Preis. Aber: Es lohnt sich, in gute Qualität zu investieren. Vielleicht schaut ihr euch einfach mein Bild an. Ich bin kein Profi, aber ich liebe es, unsere schöne Natur aus der nahen Umgebung zu Papier zu bringen.

Muy buenas. Se las regalé a mi madre que es pintora licenciada en Bellas Artes y sabe de lo que habla. Muy buenos tonos, buena textura y más cosas así técnicas que me dijo que no recuerdo porque no entiendo. Pero con estas acuarelas ya ha ganado un par de concursos de pintura así que van finas. Las recomiendo

Bons pinceis, certas macias, usar água e o pigmento. Custo benefício excelente.

Je n’aurais pas eu l’idée d’acheter de la jadéite, pourtant, elle est très belle. Les autres couleurs sont superbes aussi. En même temps, je n’ai encore jamais été déçue par cette marque. Et comme j’aime toutes les couleurs… je suis comblée !
