This complete watercolor painting set is a remarkable value, and a wonderful gift for watercolor students.
This complete set contains eleven golden Taklon watercolor brushes with clear handles and handy brush holders to store tools safely, and elevate them during work sessions for easy access. Twelve tubes of watercolor paint are included, each certified AP non-toxic for safe student use.
A plastic palette contains 28 mixing wells for creating various colors and hues. Also included in the set are a stylus for transferring sketches or scratching texture and line into painted areas on watercolor paper, a pencil and an eraser, a plastic palette knife, and a lightweight cloth apron.
This entire set comes packed in a sturdy wooden carrying case...and includes a small instruction booklet. You may also wish to order a pad of Watercolor Paper so you are ready to paint the moment this set arrives.
For complete instruction on how to paint watercolors, you may also want to get one of our basic instructional books, such as Basic Watercolor Techniques or First Steps Painting Watercolors.) The handy and comprehensive Artist's Manual has a large section on watercolors (along with all other standard painting and drawing techniques).
We recommend this Watercolor Set for older students and adults who want to explore the finer points of watercolor...washes, rich color mixes, fine control over color and tone. The AP certified child-safe pigments are of very good quality. They blend evenly and provide more subtle gradations of hue than less-expensive student watercolor paints.
