Lithwish MeiLiang Watercolor Paint Set with Metal Ring and Bonus Watercolor Brush, 36 Vivid Colors in Pocket Box

I have used these myself, and I recommend this set for beginners. The cakes are highly pigmented, and totally behave like premium brands. What I don't get is why this set is so grossly overpriced in India. This should be available at one-third of it's current price, going by the international prices. However, the product itself is pretty good, and more than satisfactory. In fact, I'd recomment these over Cotman and other student grade lines any day.

nice metalic box, a wide range of pretty vibrant watercolor

Beautiful true colours

Muy buenas acuarelas, muy pigmentadas, son una excelente poción, yo no conocía la marca y ahora son mis favoritas.

My regular practice watercolors are Cotman pans, I use them for practice, studies and on the go painting, and the palettes are really hard to beat for portability, mixing areas , the transparency of colors which is important when you begin learning watercolors and affordability when you need new pans. I wanted something larger but no too large to be able to take a couple of larger brushes , and also needed to buy extra color half pans. I found this set, read about them and for the price of just a new metal palette similar in size (like other reviewers have posted) + $6 I decided to take a chance. And I am very happy I did. This set is truly transparent except for a couple of colors, zero chalkiness, they re wet easily and won't rub off the paper after dry. The tin itself is well made, it has a ring at the bottom. The brush is not of use for me because it is very soft and has no much body to it. This set is perfect for practice, I wouldn't use them for final works because there is no light fastness rating compared to my Cotmans for example, but if you use them in your covered sketchbook they should be fine. At first it might seem like there are many similar colors but you'll get surprised once you start mixing. Also having 34 colors the set will last you for a while, considering you can't buy half pans separately. Many of the colors actually granulate very nice which is a nice surprise. This set is way better than other cutesy brands, I was gifted a set of Koi and gave them away because they were so chalky and good only for coloring but not mixing and learn about watercolors. You can actually practice well with this set. I have attached some photos for your comparison with Cotman colors. You have every color you need if you are just beginning with this set and instead of buying more colors or more expensive paint to begin with try buying good paper to really enjoy watercolor and a good brush.

LOVELY paints, packaging leaves a lot to be desired but I can't complain at the price
