ShinHan Professional Watercolor Paint 12ml Tubes 20 Color Set

These watercolors are great. I would put the colors up against many “name brand professional” paints. The colors are vibrant and lovely.

I love these paints, great pigmentation, transparency and texture are amazing, easy to reactivate. Great affordable price.

Nice array of colors the blend well

The box was well packed and in great shape, and inside the tubes were very nicely laid out, all clean and very nicely organized from Reds/Browns through to Blues I found the tubes very easy to squeeze into my palette and they had pigment and lightfastness information on them. As an aside, they're great for someone learning watercolor but if you are painting professionally I would spend the extra money and go for the PWC line. All that aside they are very nice to paint with wet, and now that they've dried, rewet easily, somewhere between M. Graham and Daniel Smith. Bright, vibrant colors that are suitable for illustration. They're what I was looking for, which was an everyday paint that won't break the bank while I'm goofing around in my sketchbook, but also won't frustrate me by being chalky or muddy. These are a good choice!

I spent considerable time reviewing watercolor purchase options before deciding on the ShinHan professional water color 20 piece set. Having been a watercolorist for over 20 years I can honestly say these watercolors are right up there with Windsor Newton (which I usually purchase), and I will more than likely purchase these again in the future. The pigments and colors are rich and versatile. Thank you for a fantastic product.

These are the first watercolor tubes I’ve used (only used a tray), so I don’t have a lot to compare them to. But the colors are great, and I have not had any problems with the tubes. The pigments are vibrant and thick. The only thing I could ask for would be to provide a few more common names for some of the colors. A few teachers I’ve watched use color names that this set does not have, so I have to research to see exactly what color they are using. But I’ve been able to figure it out, and I am having fun experimenting.

After quite a bit of research, I gave these as a gift to someone who has been using Windsor Newtons all of her life, and she says the quality is just as good. "Maybe better." So she figured I paid a couple hundred dollars for this set, but she HAD heard that Korean paints were very economical for the quality, so she figured maybe $100-150. Yay. Highly recommended.

They're a workhorse sort of paint with bright, vivid colors. Most of them aren't too light-fast, but if your main use for watercolor is illustration or sketching rather than anything you want to last for about 50 years you're fine.

very good and bright colors......
