Really great for hitting the road to go out drawing and painting. They are quality paints and you don't need many colors when you are out and about. You can make any color you want from these. The brush is just okay, I bring water filled Pentels because they have a nice valve on them and don't leak. Good brushes in several sizes, too. But if you want quality watercolors for on the run, or even if you want to try watercolors in house, these will fit the bill. They're just wonderful.
