The inclusion of a refillable waterbrush makes this set a complete solution for creative work outside the studio.

Advantages

This set offers exceptional color intensity and lightfastness, allowing for professional results in various watercolor techniques. The pans are formulated to dissolve quickly upon contact with water, facilitating smooth application and effortless blending. Its travel-friendly design ensures that all necessary tools are contained within a single, durable case, making it an ideal choice for plein air painting or quick sketching sessions without the need for additional water containers.

Suitable for

• Plein air painting and travel sketching
• Detailed watercolor illustrations
• Artistic projects requiring vibrant color blending
• Students and hobbyists seeking professional-grade materials

When it may not be suitable

This set may not be the best choice for large-scale mural painting or projects requiring extensive color mixing in large volumes, as the pan size is optimized for portability rather than large-scale coverage. It is also not intended for use on non-porous surfaces that are not compatible with watercolor media.

Key specifications

• 12 highly pigmented watercolor pans
• Includes one refillable waterbrush
• Compact, travel-friendly storage case
• Excellent solubility and blending properties

How to use

To begin painting, fill the reservoir of the included waterbrush with clean water and secure the cap. Gently squeeze the barrel to moisten the brush tip, then touch the tip to the desired paint pan to pick up pigment. Apply the color directly to your watercolor paper. You can blend colors by mixing them on the lid of the case or directly on the paper. To clean the brush between colors, simply squeeze the barrel to release a small amount of water and wipe the bristles on a cloth or paper towel.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you are using appropriate watercolor paper to achieve the best results
• Consider if the 12-color palette meets your specific project requirements
• Check the portability needs for your intended use case

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, keep your waterbrush clean by rinsing the bristles thoroughly after each session and ensure the paint pans are completely dry before closing the case to maintain the longevity of the pigments.
