Winsor & Newton Artists Water 5ML tube 48C set (japan import)

Easy to mix and blend. A pretty good selection of colors. I would've liked an ultramarine blue. And also a raw umber, and a deeper green so I didn't have to mix those, but I'm still satisfied. Though in the future, I'll probably just buy the tubes I need rather than re-purchase a set.Winsor + Newton have been doing their thing very well for a long time. There are no surprises here, just good quality, consistent colors.

I’ve been wanting a professional palette and this one is really nice. The price is good considering the cost of 48 tubes and the colors are bright and work really well. I’ve put them in pans and into a metal palette and just started playing with them last night, They re-wet very nicely (after drying for 3 days in my studio) and I’m sure I’ll be using them quite often. So many projects use the colors in this palette, I’m glad i have them all now!The tubes in the box were scattered all over, none in their correct place, but they labels were all in English and none of the tubes were missing or open/punctured, so it wasn’t too bad. And not entirely unexpected considering they came from afar.

The labels and box indicate that they're genuine Winsor & Newton. There's every color here that a painter might need in 100 years, the consistency is perfect, not at all too thick or dried out, the tubes are of a typically common and generous size, in swatching them, they were all fluid and brilliant and easy to control.

What's to say. I love em. They work well. The colors selections are great. They blend together nicely and my only problem is that I don't have all of the colors they make.

Love these paints

This set is a great way to try out a comprehensive palette of W & N's Professional line. This is already one of my favorite brands of watercolor for quality, value, and pigment choices, so I knew what to expect where that was concerned.However... I blew up the photo to see which colors were included in the set before buying it, bougt the set based on that photo (since no list of included colors is given), and they are not the same as the set I received. Close, but not the same. If you are hoping to get all those Cadmium colors shown in the photo, you'll be disappointed, as I was. In the photo you can see Cad Yellow Pale, Cad Yellow, and Cad Orange. What you get is the "Cad-Free" versions of those, with their undisclosed proprietary mystery pigments. The Cad Red Deep you see in the photo has been eliminated, and replaced with Scarlet Lake. The Lemon Yellow-Nickel Titanate is gone, and there is NO lemon-yellow at all. Davy's Gray has been added in.W & N makes 2 versions of Cerulean, BTW, and the one included in this set is made with PB35, if that matters to you.So, a very nice set and great value, with the little 5ml tubes averaging out at $4.42 each, substantially less than you'd pay if you wanted all these colors anyway. They are just not the colors I expected based on the advertising in the listing. I do feel that if you are going to use a photo to sell a product, it should be of that product!

Great paints. I love them. I wouldn't use any other paints.

This set has a good selection of colors, if you already have the basic colors this set has good additions. The cobalt turquoise light and the transparent orange are my favorites here. The yellows are a little too close in hue but you can tell one is warmer and one is cooler. The permanent carmine is gorgeous and super intense. The opera rose looks nice but it's a little hard to rewet. Other than that color the rest rewet easily once dried in a pan or palette. I like this set.
