ARTISTRO Metallic Watercolor Paint Set with Palette & Brush Pens - 18 Color

I picked up the ARTISTRO 50 Color Watercolor Paint Set mainly as a portable option I could use at home and on the go, and I’ve honestly been really impressed with how much value is packed into this kit.First impressions:Everything comes neatly organized in a compact metal case, which feels sturdy and not flimsy at all. It’s small enough to throw in a bag but still includes everything you need—paints, palette, brushes, even a water brush—so you can start painting immediately.Color quality & performance:The 50 colors are vibrant and surprisingly pigmented for a set at this price point. They activate quickly with just a little water and blend really smoothly, which makes layering and mixing colors easy—even if you’re not super experienced.What I love most:• Huge variety of colors• Value > Price !Real-life use:It’s small enough to leave out on the table/counter with a pad of paper and the kids (and myself) will just open and start painting!Small things to note (keeping it real):• The water brush isn’t that easy to use- I think it’s a learning curve with how much/little to squeeze for water to come out.Overall:This feels like one of those “hidden gem” art kits… affordable, functional, and actually fun to use! Whether you’re just starting out or want a solid travel set, this is 100% worth it.10/10 recommend!

Great set with so many saturated colors, and even has metallic colors like gold and bronze. The quality of the brushes are pretty good as well. Great value. I bought these to keep in our RV to use while camping.

I loved this watercolor kit. The colors are beautiful, easy to mix and have good pigmentation. It is perfect for both children and those who are starting to paint. The kit brings everything you need to enjoy a good creative moment. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love this watercolor set! It has a great variety of colors, and the quality is perfect for both beginners and more experienced artists. Everything is nicely organized and easy to use. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it!

4 STARS for the great kit that you receive and probably 3 stars for the quality of the paint. It is really nice but I found that the paint was weak and needed to hold up with one stroke of the brush... Easy cleaning, the size was great in that it fit in my purse or backpack too. Very versatile product but you just have to paint it more than once

Honestly a super lovely beginner set with tons of saturated colors. They all layer nicely too. The case is super sturdy and I’ve made a few pieces with it already. Highly recommend it for all the colors. A little hard to mix the colors I need but it could be user error. I haven’t done watercolor in a few years so it’s picking up the skills again. It also works well with acrylic (the space pic is mixed media being 90% this set used)I feel paper makes your watercolor shine the most! So invest in good paper and these will work wonderfully. (Space one is 100% cotton, the other is a blend)

I love this water color set! The paints have good pigment and are so easy to use. There are so many colors and shades of colors that I’ve only had to mix a custom color once. I haven’t taken it out and about yet, but the kit itself would be easy to travel with and has the items you’d need for a trip. If you purchase this set, you won’t be disappointed.

I already owned the travel set, and based on it's amazing quality and value, decided to buy the metallic/ chameleon set also. Here is my experience and opinion of both these fine products:1. Travel set: I have a lot of water color sets and options, such that I really try to limit my purchases. But, sometimes a set is so good, especially for a budget friendly price that its worth owning--this is that set. I have not personally found a better performer for the price point!! Especially when I consider that this is a Chinese made art supply!! I'm sure there are better watercolors in the world...but they're all going to come from Europe and Japan, not China. So, those better paints will cost a bit more than this set. This set is literally better quality than many other sets at a similar price from the crafts store. Paint handles like watercolor should! It's not faint, it's not thick and chalky. This is a seriously good set for a beginner or casual hobbyist. Ideal for a teen or college age creative too!The travel set includes a range of standard type watercolors which are well pigmented and do granulate slightly! With cheaper sets like this, I personally expect more variability in the quality of paints (meaning that some will produce a better looking finished product than others with regard to the amount and quality of pigments). With this set, all the standard paints are rich and while there are slight differences between them, they're all useable. Now, this set also contains a few neon colors and metallics. That's where the quality takes a nose dive. Of course neons and metallics are tricky for almost any medium or company-- plenty of companies have a solid line of standard colors, and then somehow fail to produce neons and metallics that compare to the regular line. I have some very inexpensive neon paints that are way more pigmented and produce a better looking color saturation than these neon paints--but they are really chalky, almost like gouache in texture. So, hard for me to say about these...they still handle better than cheaper paints, but they're simply lacking some of the qualities of the standard color range. To me, the metallics are even worse. It's easy to find much better generic metallic paints than what's offered in this set. I notice that there's not a lot of reviews for both sets at once, not a lot of reviews for the metallic set and I feel like there's a reason for that: maybe most people would not buy the stand alone metallic set after sampling what's already included here.Travel set also includes some small watercolor papers, a few tools, and a handy guide with color names. It's very easy to transpose some of these colors when you swatch them out, so double check. One final thing to note: these paints aren't in removable pans. These are like cheaper paints in that they've obviously been made in some other mold, then glued in here. They look almost like they were formed in a long strip then sawed down to these sizes. So there's space between the pat of paint and it's section in this travel palette. That really really affects how these paints perform in way I consider negative. I always mist my paints with water to activate them. That method still helps a bit with this set, but not like it should! Meaning I had to mist the palette at least 6 times when I swatched it out and still yet had to come in and do most of the activation with a very wet brush. That does affect the control of the paints! These paints seem to need more water than what I would expect. It's not an insurmountable issue, and overall, I am very happy with this product, especially for the price. That's just a thing to keep in mind.2. Metallic/ Chameleon set: They were very smart to include swatch sheets of both white watercolor paper and black card stock!! Most of these paints are awful on the white paper, but they really deliver a nice effect over black! Now, there's a ton of overlap between these paints and the metallics included in the travel set. You can compare the names in my photo where I show the Travel set on top (metallics are listed last on that swatch sheet) with the black and white metallic swatch sheets. Some of these, like the purple and green simply shouldn't have been repeated between these sets--theyre not good enough quality to justify them being included in any set that costs more than $5!! Seriously. And while the Gold has the same item name and number, it is invisible on white with this set, yet is plainly visible on white with the Travel set. That might be an issue for some people who specifically need a gold that can deliver.I think the Travel set is all around an excellent set, and I would recommend it strongly. If you don't already have some decent watercolors, then definitely invest in the travel set. The Chameleon set is more of a novelty item. If you're just looking for classic metallic watercolors, or jewel tones...you can honestly find what you're looking for at half the price of this set!! I would offer recommendations, but I think that's outside the scope of this review. This Chameleon set is really just for the person who has money to burn on novelty art supplies...or who is looking for that certain something that isn't readily available. I do give them credit for that-- having colors with a slight iridescent chameleon effect. I bought this set because it's the first I have found that offers that kind of paint. Plus, the travel set is stellar, so I had high expectations. To be fair, the paints in this set aren't too bad. Some of them granulate a bit. They do handle well. They seem like a quality product, it's just that there's numerous good classic metallic sets on the market that offer better color saturation for less money. But still, I don't want to discourage anyone from getting this set!! I am glad I have it. It's well packaged with the same extras as the travel set. The tin has a beautiful iridescent finish, too. I think the Chameleon set is ideal for someone like me who already has several sets of classic metallic watercolors but is looking for a different effect. My actual complaint about this set is that there's a lot of overlap between it and the travel set, so that destroys value for price if you already own the travel set. I wish this set would have only been new, Chameleon tones, with none of the classic metallics.

First time buying love the kit. Colors are really nice. Comes with some watercolor paper and other items would definitely recommend. Not overly expensive. Great for starting out.

É stato amore a prima vista, oltre ogni aspettativa. Pratico, funzionale, bello, leggero, ben fatto. Questo cofanetto farebbe un super figurone anche come regalo. La sensazione è quella di una confezione che sembra una classica trousse da trucchi e invece è un kit artistico e creativo per pittura ad acquarello. Molto originale. Super utile per portarlo sempre con sé ovunque perché è portatile per le piccole dimensioni (vedi foto). É un cofanetto in metallo molto bello, ottimo materiale, sembra resistente, ma non pesa eccessivamente. Il kit ha 48 colori ad acqua, accesi e vivaci, oltre a strumenti per disegno-pittura, 10 fogli da disegno. Non vedo l'ora portarlo in giro con me per usarlo in qualsiasi momento e qualsiasi posto.

Súper completo, incluye todo lo necesario para comenzar, tanto para principiantes como para personas algo más avanzadas, pigmentan genial, calidad increíble, el pincel cuando le das un par de días de buen uso se abren los pelos, pero aún así genial. Vienen muchos colores, para no tener que mezclar para crearlos. Sin duda lo recomendaría.

Acquerelli davvero interessanti per rendere speciali i disegni che colorate. Tutta la confezione è stata un piacere da aprire e scoprire e facendo lo swatch è evidente come questo set brilli (letteralmente) sui fogli neri, ma possono dare un effetto pazzesco anche su dettagli di un disegno su carta bianca. Una felicissima scoperta che mi ha fatto tornare il piacere di sperimentare con gli acquerelli on the go.
