Paul Rubens Watercolour Paints Set, 6 Tubes15ml, Granulating and Layering Colors, Good Transparency, Strong Diffusibility, Ideal for Illustrators, Artists, Students

Great set. Excellent emotional colors.

I like them, but I do not read Chinese, what is the little jar with gold liquid in it for?plus, I didn’t get much granulation, and I did test with lots of water and the paper did have some texture, please help.

I purchased the layering colors and I have swatched them and I am very pleased. I love the colors but I haven’t used them in any artwork yet. The packaging is very nice and the inclusion of a sample of ox gall is helpful although I haven’t used it yet. I’m looking forward to trying it.In general I have been pleased with Paul Ruben’s paints that I have been using for many years now. I believe that Ruben’s was my first quality watercolor palette over 45 years ago.When I poured them I did not experience any separation and they handled nicely. It’s always fun to see a new selection of Paul Ruben’s watercolors :).

tubes stuck, do not open

This is a great value for the money because the tubes are so big. It is very concentrated. These are really pretty.

The package is pretty and I like the colors, but one of the paint tubes was very tight and I had to use pliers to get it to open. The paint inside that tube is harder and had to press hard to get some out.

I'm a total newbie when it comes to watercolor so I've been trying an ungodly amount of products to see what stands out and inspires me and these 100% do just that! They blend and flow and mingle into beautiful creations without any effort! Just swatching them completely sold me and they're my favorite paint now. Paul Rubens stands out as my favorite company and I need to not buy all their products!😍 10/10 would recommend 💗

First off, the presentation for this set is outstanding! The round box lid art is gorgeous!The box may look small but it's 9 1/2" in diameter & 1 1/2" thick. Each tube is nestled in its own foam lined space. There is a small jar in the center for ox gall liquid (to be used along with the paints).FYI: *Make sure to have a spare palette or containers handy, to save any paint that first comes out when the lid is removed! (*Do this with any unopened tube of paint)The paints are gorgeous & react differently on various kinds of paper.My one issue is the ox gall. The jar was completely empty by the time I received the set. The ox gall had leaked into everything in the box which was warped in places from it. I exchanged that set, but the replacement had the exact same damage/issue. I kept the replacement set & ended up buying a separate bottle of ox gall (which just happened to be on sale on Amazon at the time).The set is lovely, but gets even more costly than it already is when having to buy a separate bottle of ox gall.I don't think I'd buy it as a gift since it may arrive damaged due to the ox gall leakage issue~
