Let me start by saying; this watercolour set is adorable. It's small and easy to fit in your bag or pocket, and ever with it being a 'student' grade, the pigments are rather nice and I can see myself using these for quite awhile, even though I now have an artist grade set from another brand. I feel very attached to this set- it were a nice introduction to watercolours and I thank them dearly for showing me the ropes!
