It's the perfect size for travel or just for use in the studio. The 24 half pan colors offers a good variety for anyone wanting to explore watercolor as a medium, and the white storage container opens features two palettes for easy blending. Unwrapping each color and popping it into place takes a little time as the fit is rather tight, but overall it's a decent design. I personally like the fact that it is so compact and portable. The colors have good pigmentation and are easy to build on. Good value!
