Received these as a gift. I cannot say enough wonderful things about these watercolors. Be sure to notice that these are the 5ml tubes and not the 15ml tubes that Holbein watercolors also come in. But it's perfect for setting up a basic palette. I have made my own palette with empty half pans and these tubes of paint. I filled a half pan completely with approximately a third of a tube so even those these are the smaller of the tubes from Holbein, you are still getting a lot of paint! They are rich and creamy and absolutely beautiful. The colors are VERY pigmented. And even after being in the half pans and "drying out" for a few days, they really aren't dried out. They still look moist and creamy and with the smallest drip of water, they are completely damp again! Highly recommend this set for starting out with watercolor. You will have so much better results with artist quality paint and you can't beat this price!

I've been an avid user of Holbein for a few years now, and man this watercolor works great for everything! I use this in my Hobonichi Techo journal, in my Ukiyo-e woodblock prints for stunning colors, and in my watercolor paintings (of course). The pigment is very pronounced, and a nice creamy consistency. The washes don't get dulled down when adding a lot of water, and the color spreads evenly and quickly. This kit comes with the essential colors, and can be mixed to create very vivid paintings.

Honestly, I'll never buy anything but Holbein. If you want a nice color from them not included in this kit, I would highly recommend opera as well.

Creamy and lush. These paints have a little bit of a sticky quality like honey. There's a lot of pigment, and they don't break and get minerally like some paints do. I can get some thick, lush areas of color with beautiful bloom. I've tried most every brand of watercolor and Holbein are my favorites because of the lush texture. I like them better than Winsor Newton, Golden/QoR and would say they are about the same as Graham or Daniel Smith.

Holbein colors are wonderful. Very rich but at the same time producing a beautiful transparency. The are more of a professional range of color quality. I received the item within a week. This set was a great value. I mainly do Chinese painting so I can use fairly large amount of paint practicing!!! This set of 18 colors gives a wonderful range to work with, even if I one time I rarely used more the 3 color simultanuously. Only a small dab of paint with about 20 drops of water will produce a very intense hue. I have purchase my favorite Holbein colors in larger 15 ml tube and these 5 ml tubes in the set are just practical to carry around. Very pleased with this purchase.

I was admittedly disappointed at first in the size of the tubes. I'm used to the 7-15ml tubes of Grumbacher, sennelier and schmincke. So these are a surprise. However, I filled up half pans with them, and they hardly had a dent in the tubes! The paint also didn't shrink as it dried, so I didn't need to reapply paint.
I'm not so excited about the lack of pure pigments, like ultramarine and the cadmiums. However, I do enjoy the palette chosen, as there's interesting colors like a skin tone. The swatches themselves dry pretty quickly, much quicker than I'm used to, but as a result, I can layer pretty quickly and build up without the wait. They dry lighter, but build up to vibrant colors with several layers. They also blend smoothly, and I think only ivory black had granulation in it, so don't expect much texture out of these.
I still prefer the Sennelier over these, but these are definitely good quality. I haven't had much time with these so who knows, they might become a new favorite. Their drying time definitely sets them apart from the other brands, so for putting into a compact case for field sketching is perfect.

These watercolors are my absolutely favorite! The paint is extremely vibrant and smooth almost like cream. The finished paintings always have a smooth finish to them without graininess or uneven laydown [especially with the darker pigments]. This set of 18 is great since it includes different variations of each color! You do have to note that the paint flows a bit differently from other watercolors [wet on wet], so you may have to play around a bit to adjust to the flow. Other than that, these watercolors are top notch! Holbein will be my go-to brand for paint from now on.

Love them! They we're recommended to me by an artist friend. He called them the Cadillac of watercolor paints...I would agree. I am quite happy with the quality.

I have had this watercolor set for about a little over a month. Other watercolor products I have include Sakura Koi (travel pan set of 24 colors), Kuretake Gansai Tambi (36 color pan set) as well as budget brands, Jerry Q Art 18 (pan) color watercolor set as well as Reeves (tube).

Thus far, I would have to say that Holbein's been my favorite out of all of them although I do really love the Kuretake set as well. I do squeeze out watercolor from the tube and let dry before use since that is more convenient for me, having seen some videos that led me to believe that Holbein paints would not crumble and would rewet nicely. I am a watercolor hobbyist, and make no claims to any artistic skills. I have taken no art classes but I do enjoy experimenting with different media and in fact. I am learning techniques from online videos, websites and books.

The colors rewet very easily, either from adding a drop of water per pan, or just picking up color with a wet brush. The colors are vibrant and mixes well to get either soft, subtle and translucent effects or bright and vivid colors.
