White Nights Watercolour White Night Artists Watercolour Set Whole Pans, Plastic Box, Multi-Colour, 24 Count (Pack of 1)

This review is for the St. Petersburg White Nights Watercolor 24 Full Pans Set. In only a few words, I love this set. For professional-grade watercolors the price can't be beat. The paints come in full pans, so you're getting plenty of value for your money as well. I would recommend this brand, either this set or the smaller set of 9 colors they also sell on Amazon, to beginner artists as well as more experienced watercolor artists on a budget. I often see the Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolor sets recommended to beginners looking to get into watercolors. I own both and absolutely disagree with those recommendations. For a similar price, perhaps a few dollars more, you can buy the White Nights paints, which are far above and beyond the quality of the Cotman paints. Let's look at a list of pros and cons: Pros: . The price. These are professional quality paints, at a very affordable price point. The value for money is unmatched. . Most of these paints are very easy to activate, without having to overwork the pans, and a little bit of paint goes a long way. If you're upgrading to this set after previously using a set of student grade watercolors you'll immediately see and feel the difference. . The palette is huge! I included a photo with an 8 1/2" x 12" sketchbook on top of it for reference. When the palette is fully open you have tons of mixing space. . Speaking of mixing space, this palette has 4 huge divided wells in the lid, as well as a removable mixing tray that provides 12 mixing wells. . There are a wide variety of colors in the 24 set that provides huge potential for mixing. 17 of the colors in this set are single-pigment colors. There are a mixture of transparent, semi transparent, and opaque colors as well as some granulating colors. Cons: . The palette is huge. If you don't have a large desk this could be a problem, so I would recommend the smaller set of White Nights, or simply transferring these pans into a smaller palette or tin. In my opinion there are not many downsides to this set. Especially for beginners trying to decide on their first set of watercors, you should definitely go with these!

Colores muy intensos y muy bonitos , desafortunadamente no viene en estuche con paleta tal y como aparece en la imagen , deberían especificar que solo son las pinturas en una caja de cartón .ahora tengo que comprar el estuche por separado.

Sehr zufrieden mit den Farben. Wie zu erwarten war.

Excellent quality and colour density. Nice range of colours good value and speedy delivery

As always very impressive
