These a really nicely packaged and so pretty.  I can't comment on how well they go down on paper because they are a gift for Christmas.  I have a budding artist granddaughter and am trying to encourage her to continue in all phases of art.  These will go with a set of brushes and a water color art pad.  I like that they take up a small amount of space in the storage area as we are rapidly running out of room on her desktop.  I'm sure she will like the unique way in which they are presented as well.  Something a little different from the ordinary. The price was good I thought....though I am not well versed on what good water colors should cost.  I'm still drawing stick figures in my old age.
