> 24 hourDaniel Smith produces beautiful colors, I already own the intro essentials kit and some others. I wanted to try Primatek so I grabbed this set. Overall stunning colors. These arent someone I would use daily, but they are perfect for adding just something extra to your images. If you love granulation, this is for you. It gives a gorgeous texture. Why did I dock a star? I feel like the video and packaging is misleading on Hematite. I thought it was more brown, and it looks more like a graphite color on various papers(high-low end). I can use it as I do a lot of outdoor work, but misleading none the less. I did order two other colors not in the set, one is more brown/gold so I hope that is more on par with what I was looking for, for landscapes. Overall, this will be great for a wash with texture, landscapes, water, even trees, but if you like extremely vibrant colors this Primatek set probably isnt for you. These are more pale than their standard colors unless you pack layers.

> 24 hourSince the description lists the TOTAL weight and fl. oz., I was not aware each tube is .17 ml. I think this should have been more clearly stated, but mainly my mistake for assuming and not making sure whether these tubes were the same size as a typical .5 fl oz. watercolor tube. My pictures show these teensy tubes next to a typical tube for reference. I’m sure they are good quality but I probably would have chosen a different brand so that I can fill more half pans if I realized how small these are. Also, the Pthalo Blue and French Ultramarine are the same color! See picture. If I knew that ahead of time I would have returned it, but i didn’t realize it until I had already filled the half pans.

> 24 hourI am so glad that I purchased this set as an intro to Daniel Smith watercolors. They are truly beautiful on their own, and mixed carefully they make very vibrant colors. Im already thinking about colors to add to my collection to save time mixing, but you can make almost any color you would want with this set alone.

> 24 hourI’ve tried several brands of watercolour paints, and Daniel Smith are absolutely the best. This little set is all you’ll ever need to mix pretty much any colour. They can also be squeezed into empty pans and dried so they last a lot longer.

> 24 hourTubes were all outside of box in amazon shipment. The packaging Shown for paints was ugly and beat up. Looked used. No packaging other than flimsy Daniel Smith box was on paints. Very frustrated by that. Looks like I bought someone’s second hand box. The paints themselves seem ok.
