I've always loved Winsor & Newton. They have fantastic paints. This set was perfect. It fits perfectly into my purse or jacket pocket. I'm also not sure why buyers were complaining about a black color cake. My set has a white cake( my seller was court house supplies). So either they were getting older versions of the set or a wrong set. My set was perfect. Also,  for those who are like me an always in a hurry or who don't pay 100% attention.  The case is not water tight. So make sure you soak up your excess water or let it dry out before you stuff it into a pocket or you'll learn the hard way like I did. As for my seller, court house supplies, I commend you on the amazing shipping speed. I ordered this yesterday and received it today. Kudos for being awesome!
