I wanted to love this pocket set of watercolors. I had a smaller pocket sketch set from W&N, but wanted the option of more colors. Unfortunately- this set is nothing like the smaller pocket sketch set. The paint pans do not stay in place. The plastic that is supposed to hold it is flimsy and arrived bent. If the kit gets bumped in your sketch bag, the paints can easily become dislodged. Not to mention if you are holding the kit while sketching in the field, and you accidentally drop it- the paints will go flying!
