This is a cute compact traveling watercolor set, with quality Windsor Newton paints, which have vibrant pigments. It has 14 removable half wells with the basic colors. When used up they can be replaced or the half wells are fine for adding tube watercolor to. The bottom pulls out for another mixing area and it has a VERY small well for dipping in clean water which removes and attaches to the side of the mixing area, leaving a hole to place thumb through for ease of holding. I really can't wait to use it in the field. At that point I will update my review! Oh, also I bought this through Amazon because it saved me a few dollars from store prices.
