In absence of ready-made travel palettes of my favorite paints (both brand and colors), this is perfect--it is convenient to fill, use, and clean, add extras or  exchange  individual colors.  My travel brush fits in fine.  Fits in a small purse.  There are no down sides.

The variety of colors is fun. I would like to be able, also, to buy a set all of one color (and not only white/off-white or black). Or maybe a set of five each of the reds (fire red and cardinal red, so, ten total) or five each of the blues (again, ten total). These seem to find ways to break easily (getting dropped or getting stuck in the dishwasher basket, as examples); I wanted to replace some, but even this set isn't available.

Always specify gloss or matte finish. Way too expensive the globalization of resale items is getting preposterous. Corporations could stop the massive mark ups if they would just continue to sell to the public as well as whole sellers.

Great bundle of paints with a great case. Awesome variety of colors, but you do really need to buy the other sets to fill out your collection.

A friend gave me a pastel board for my acrylic painting and I LOVE IT. Problem is there's no comparison to the canvas I am budget restricted to using.
And so I have painted over my one board 4 times.

I miss the green and other colors of the houses and other pieces otherwise I like it.  Good price.

I really liked these but I would like to have an option to purchase only specific colours instead of having to buy the whole lot.

I thought this would be a convenient set to take out on location for some illustration sketches and stuck them in my pack without examining them first.  There is no red in the assortment.  There are a few *pinks* but no red.  That was a surprise and disappointment.  It's a nice set with soft lead, for the price, but you'll need additional pencils for a full color range.
Edit: Great customer service made up for the problem and I can grab a few real reds and rich greens to add to the collection but the lack of a real red is still something to be aware of that I would love to see remedied by this brand in the future.

Love the pens, but there is a HUGE PROBLEM!

Love the pens, but there is a huge problem.  All four of my sets came with two bright orange and two bright pink, instead of peach and salmon. After receiving the first box of two sets and discovering this problem (the reason this problem is huge to me (might not be to you) is because the peach color is my favorite color to use), I phoned Amazon and told them the situation. They were terrific in quickly replacing the pens, however, the new set also had the same duplicates.

Because of the photos already posted here, I can see that there are no duplicate colors in the sets and the sets include the peach and the salmon. Mine include duplicate colors, as I said above.

The pens are almost identical to the Fiskars in colors and design. The LolliZ write and draw very smooth and with consistency and I do love the pens very much.  The colors are terrific and nice and bright.  I love the sparkle colors; they are GREAT colors.  I would like to see more pastels though and a light purple/lavender color as the purples are all rather dark.  The purple sparkle, however, is fabulous

Love these paints but it turned out to not be the color I needed

I bought this set mainly because I wanted a travel-sized tin for watercolour (capacity 6 whole or 12 half pans, 9 or 18 at a pinch). And it was cheaper to buy this tin filled with Prima Marketing watercolours than to buy, say, an empty Schmincke tin. On that front I was very pleased. I particularly like that the tray that holds the half pans lifts out of the main box, which makes clean up easy. And there are some nice touches to the fold out palettes, including rolled edges so you can't cut yourself.

There is, unfortunately, a large triangular sticker on the top that occupies about 25% of the surface. This *can* be removed, but it needs to be done with care and is a little time consuming. (If you use a sticky spot remover such as Orange Power, where the active ingredient is d-Limonene  or orange oil, then you WILL dull the surface of the tin somewhat. But that's a quicker method if you're not bothered by some minor dullness.)

Regarding the paints themselvesI got the Tropicals set because the Classics set&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Prima-Marketing-Watercolor-Confections-The-Classics/dp/B0197FQYWQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Prima Marketing Watercolor Confections: The Classics</a>&nbsp;included white, grey and black, which for watercolour is kind of a waste of three pans. I also thought the Tropicals set would be a fun addition to my existing palette which is more traditional. The colours are very intense and tend towards the opaque these will give you very bright and vibrant paintings. Prima Marketing don't identify their colours/pigments in these Confections sets, but as far as the general hues go, you have: Medium Yellow, something like Carmine/Quinacridone Rose, Cobalt Blue, Prussian Blue, Orange, Magenta/Quinacridone Violet, Deep Purple, Forest/Dark Green, Viridian/Pthalo Green, Sap/Yellow Green, Yellow Ochre, and Burnt Umber/Van Dyke Brown.

As others have observed, Prima Marketing seems to be aiming this product at crafters and scrapbookers rather than watercolour artists. So perhaps that's why they haven't bothered to identify the pigments but have simply given them arbitrary numbers and grouped them in themed sets. (More surprising is that there's no information about lightfastness or archival quality, which I understand is generally of interest to the scrapbooking community and tends to be a selling point in that market.) So it's all a bit of a mystery

But these are fun paints to use. Ok, they lack the beauty and luminousness of artist-quality paints, but their vibrancy seems to encourage a playful approach cheap and cheerful!  and I know I will end up using them. (Since I bought the set for the tin, I was fully prepared to simply toss the paints if they weren't any good.)

Awesome products, but does not come with travel bag as ad or packaging states.

I am new and retired and wanted to do the Tony Bennett thing. "It's all about the light." I don't know how to set up a palette and it was suggested I start out slow--with a basic palette.

Pretty well rounded kit, but missing sage and cardamom in my eyes.

I have a bunch of brands of miniature paints... Citidel, P3, Game Color, and Reaper mainly.  But my favorite by far are the Vallejo paints.  I *love* Vallejo's metallics especially, they are brilliant, and last for a long time.  Just found a couple of droppers in a box which has sat in the garage for a couple of years, and they still work!
