Sargent ArtSargent Art 32-6048 Artist Quality 48ct Adult Professional Watercolor Set, Tin Case

I got these to see how good they are. I seen a review that said they was good but would not stay in the pans so I got them cause I want to see what the paint is like what the colors looks like and they have so many colors to choose from and so I made a investment to try them out. This is my honest review they are what seems to be good paint they have a great many colors to choose from they was easy to wet and pick up the color and apply the colors. I had to work each bracket in the metal pan to bend it forward so I could get the pans to pop in and stay they just fell out to easy but if bend the bracket that hold the pan forward it will hold the pans in tightly and they won't fall out.I love the color so many it is like candy store of color I like the fact each color has a number and that number is on each pan so if you need to find out what a color is you can go to the website and get the PDF of all the names I really don't want to write them out on swatches. It would be nice if they had the names printed on the pans but they are all numbered and you can keep them in number order and look up all the colors by number. I took some pictures to show how I bent the brackets and popped the pans in and I also got a sample of the colors on watercolor paper to see how they look on paper I compared them to the koi 48 set of Watercolors so the picture with copper gold silver and pearl and white is this set I try to keep the colors in the set order of colors on each of the four rows just like in they are in the metal pan

I'm thrilled to have received my Mungyo, made in Korea aka Prima Marketing watercolour paints. The pans are individually wrapped in cellophane and paper with pigment and lightfast information on them.These paints are handmade like the way Sennelier still makes them. So, a big long roll, then cut up and put into the individual pans. That's why there's a bit of texture, cracking and they don't look completely uniform. Almost perfect though. None are under filled.My tin came a little bit dented with some paint coming off the inside edge. That annoyed me. I painted over the chipped parts with a paint marker, otherwise tins can rust. Watercolour palettes should be shipped in a box if it's being shipped internationally from the USA.

Excellent colour range and application properties. Easy to work with.

I purchased the Mungyo watercolors to see if they were as good as the Primas and because it's roughly a dollar per color I thought that was reasonable. I honestly believe these are exactly the same just branded differently. Twenty or thirty bucks for a set of 12 colors versus $50 for 48 colors makes this a good deal. I am not a professional artist and I only use these to add color to my stamped images for card making.The silver and copper don't cream very easily it takes a little effort to use those two colors but overall a nice set with a great mix of colors.

The delivery took 9 days which is quite fast for international one. But I found that three major scratches on the pan, which is quire disappointing. I am not sure if who is responsible for this, but I guess it scratches the product's value greatly.
