Quinacridone Pigment Set, Dry Powder Artist Grade, 50ml (Pack of 10)

I am having so much fun with these pigments. I do calligraphy and have recently gotten into watercolors. But the good, highly pigmented watercolors are $$$, plus, I like to make things myself. These pigments go a LOOOOOOOOONG way. The paints I have made are even more pigmented than the high-end watercolors I've bought.I've included a picture where I made watercolor with Prussian Blue and Quinacridone Magenta. They make great ink for calligraphy and great paints. You can see how the magenta and blue blend to make a nice purple.AND, the sellers are amazing. I accidentally got 2 prussian blues and was missing a phthalo blue, and they let me keep the extra, and not only did they send the missing pigment but 2 extra colors!!I highly recommend these pigments, and if you want to make watercolors, just google "diy watercolor" and you'll find recipes and instructions for mulling (a thing I didn't know existed until yesterday, but is essential for mixing these pigments and is FUN).

★★TLDR: I'm in love with this set and very excited to make paint with it ★★(For context, I'm coming at this from the perspective of making watercolors. Your mileage may vary.)i've been on a journey to collect transparent watercolor pigments without breaking my bank account. While I love the quinacridones (rip quin gold) and I have a deep appreciation for phthalos, I was hesitant to buy the pigments when I was unsure of how well I could mull them into a usable paint.Enter C.A.S. AlkydPro, a brand I recognize from the oil aisle at my local art supply store. I became immediately intrigued by the range of pigments, especially for the price. I purchased this ten-piece set with a 20% off coupon, and after waiting the week of shipping (not bad at all, especially during the holiday season) I received them yesterday.The pigment set was packaged efficiently in a box just the right size for the items, using crumpled up scrap paper, which I appreciate from this brand. Reduce reuse recycle, folks.As you can see in the attached picture, the containers are right around 3.25 inches (sorry that the only thing I had for scale was a yugioh card lol)The containers are filled nearly to the brim, with the quinacridones settling the furthest (maybe 1.5cm from being totally full). For the price, I am shocked by how much product you recieve.Each of the pigments has its index code listed, which is a major plus as the Amazon listing and the listing on their website are both missing some codes. I'll add the missing ones below:★ Phthalo Blue Green Shade is listed as PB15:4★ Phthalo Blue Red Shade is listed as PB15:2★ Phthalo Green is listed as PG7★ Ultramarine Blue is listed as PB29★ Prussian Blue is listed as PB27★ Pyrrol Red is listed as PR254I haven't been able to actually mull some yet, but I have incredible hopes for this set and am already making plans to buy more from C.A.S. AlkydPro. I will update my review with how they mull, and comparisons to pre-existing paints I own that have these pigments.

I really love these pigments, very nice and easy to mull.

Love these colors, and creating my own hues

They came in messy like this.

All of these pigments were processed very well. Just a must have to make incredible paint. 5 stars!

These are artist quality pigments for a good price. The 1.69 fl oz jars are perfect for making small batches of color, which is oil pastel in my case. Contacting this company is a pleasant experience. I will continue to buy pigments exclusively from CAS because I like to support small but quality companies.

Love the choice of pigments in this set. Swatched ‘em out with oil and acrylic. They mixed with ease and a little goes a long way.
