Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this paint on glass?

That is not the case. You'll need Martha Stewart glass paint, which can be found at Micheals Craft Stores and other craft stores. You should also bake the glass for 30 minutes at 250 degrees after painting it. I hope this information is useful.

Is it possible to use it to paint miniature wooden cars?

It's possible, but it's also washable. After that, I'd use a sealer to keep it in place.

Do these seep into the pages of the Bible?

Because watercolors involve water on paper, the answer is yes. You can purchase slightly thicker special paper. It's called "watercolor paper," which is a bit of a misnomer.

The image makes it difficult to tell. Which three colors are the darkest? (On my screen, they all appear black, but I'm sure they're not)?

The colors are as described by others, but I'd like to point out that for the low cost of this set, the pigments are quite good. The warm colors aren't too bright, and the black and brown are subtle rather than harsh. My purple has a lot of red in it, and my green has a lot of blue in it, but these can easily be fixed with more color mixing to your liking!

SO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER BRAND NAME BRAND NAME I have a 2-year-old daughter
5/5

year- and a 5-year-old year old. We've always used Crayola watercolors because they both enjoy painting. However, once we began to seek shelter, watercolor palettes became scarce, so I ordered these instead. I should've ordered them from the beginning! Even when my 2-year-old daughter is in the room, the colors are more vibrant or appear to be concentrated. year- Even after drenching her paintbrush in water, old is still able to paint on the paper. I'm not sure how to describe it, but the paint in the wells appears to be more creamy rather than a super dry chalk-like finish. Other brands, such as pellet, are similar. This also means that, unlike other brands, they have not dried out and cracked or had pieces fall out. Here's to a happy mother and kids!.

I'm extremely disappointed
3/5

The color is a disaster. I'm a kindergarten teacher, and I bought these water colors with money raised by the PTA. I'm extremely disappointed. The color is a disaster. Whatever amount of orange you use, the result is peach. The ovals that used to come out to replace them are no longer there. What a colossal squandering of resources. 😕.

All other "low-cost" brands pale in comparison
5/5

Watercolor painting is one of my daughter's favorite things to do. We've done all of the "Walmart" brands available, such as crayola, roseart, and so on, but these are AMAZING. Even though she's young, she commented on how much better they were than any she'd previously used, and the little brush that comes with it truly cleans up after dipping it in water and picking another color; they don't transfer. People will continue to buy as long as the price remains low, so I am very happy and will be reordering as needed. At the very least, I'm confident we'll succeed!.

Is It True That These Paints Are Worth All The Hype? Yes
5/5

These are fantastically inexpensive watercolors. I'm still learning how to use watercolor, so I'm no expert, but I've tried a lot of paints, some inexpensive, some more expensive, and most of the inexpensive paints are chalky and the color can be hit or miss. The watercolors by Prang are much more than that. They have a lot of color, lay down well, and aren't chalky at all. They're good paints to try out if you're a beginner. They're not just for kids, and the price is unbeatable; I highly recommend giving them a try.

The pigment is fine, but the paint itself is of poor quality
3/5

After a few uses, the watercolor cakes resemble melted gum or silly putty. They don't dry out; instead, they become sticky and rubbery. If you don't store it flat, the colors will shift out of the plastic mold and 'pour' onto the lid and neighboring colors. To be honest, it's a tangled mess. I would not have spent money on it if I had known ahead of time, and I am unable to include a photo of the product in my review, which is strange but not surprising given the quality.

I bought this during lockdown to try my hand at water color painting and it was great for the price and new WC artist
5/5

I've worked with acrylics before, but this is a completely different medium. This paint is excellent for a beginner. Before using, I tested the colors, and one of them came out a little chalky, but they are very vibrant and spread well. With only a minor learning curve, I was able to create some lovely paintings using some YouTube videos. And, for the price, if I make a mistake, it won't hurt as much as it would if I had purchased a more expensive kit at this time.

I was under the impression that all watercolors were washable
3/5

I assumed that all watercolors were washable, so I had no idea that these were different from the Prangs I'd been using for years (I'm an elementary art teacher). After 24 used (with a substitute) watercolors, the kids are stuck with these for the time being. The washables have poor color quality! No matter how hard you rub them, they remain dull. Prang watercolors are known for their vibrant colors, but these aren't among them. (As seen in the illustration) The washables are on top, and the regulars are on the bottom. The warm colors, in particular, are unappealing). Also, the washables' cheaper, flimsy white trays (see photo) do not allow you to pop out and replace colors. I strongly discourage you from doing so.

The pigement is fantastic! I was just learning how to paint, so I bought some watercolors and watercolor pens, and this palette turned out to be quite lovely! When I first saw it, I was hesitant to use it because the colors didn't appear to be very vibrant or diverse, but when I did, I was blown away by how vibrant they were and how many colors there were
4/5

I'm currently painting small squares of each color to see how they look in person, and I'm in love with this palette. When you use them, the colors are surprisingly bright and vibrant, as well as beautiful! The only drawback I have with this palette is that it costs $7. Something that appears to be a cheap Crayola product, but I know it isn't, and given how lovely the colors are, I'm not bitter or upset about it.
