Review: Why not - I prefer Sennelier to almost all brands because it has a really smooth, buttery texture (since it uses honey as a binder instead of gum arabic)...with that being said, I didn`t like most of other watercolor brands. I discovered Holbein through YouTube and couldn`t really find many reviews on them. I decided to buy this set anyways (for artist quality paints it is a STEAL). I don`t really know why people were complaining about the tube size, each tube can fill about 4 half pans and these are highly pigmented so they go a long way. These watercolors are WONDERFULLY smooth and have a nice transparency. They layer well and re-wet REALLY WELL, way better than other tube watercolors I`ve used-perfect to squeeze into your palette and not having to worry about them not re-wetting. A slight annoyance I did have though, was that this set included a black. I rarely/never use black in my watercolors as primaries can be used to create pretty much every color-I`d prefer a payne`s grey or something. All-in-all, I feel these are worth the purchase for any watercolorist- even good for the beginner, just for the price. I have been recommending these because I think they`re perfect for anyone who loves to paint :) Review: Best Professional High Pigmented Watercolor Ever - Love the consistent watercolor flow. Great water control. Love the their colors. Love the high pigment concentration of Holbein's professional watercolor. Love that you can get really dark with the watercolors without it appearing waxy like other brands. Highly recommend Holbein's gouache as well. Great seller with super fast shipping. Thank you so much. ## Features - Holbein Artists' Watercolors - Assorted Colors, Set of 12, 5 ml tubes - Set of 12 Colors - 5 ml (0.17 oz) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000WD5WS0 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #258,690 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #5,596 in Art Paints | | Brand | Holbein | | Brand Name | Holbein | | Color | Blue,Green,Ivory | | Color Code | [24 unique color codes, not provided] | | Container Type | Tube | | Coverage | 120-180 sq ft | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 487 Reviews | | Finish Type | Matte | | Included Components | Palette | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Volume | 5 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Holbein Artists' | | Model Number | W401 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Part Number | 003401 | | Size | 1.92 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Non Toxic | | Special Features | Non Toxic | | Specific Uses For Product | Interior | | Surface Recommendation | Paper | | Unit Count | 1.92 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Holbein - **Color:** Blue,Green,Ivory - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Item Volume:** 5 Milliliters - **Paint Type:** Watercolor - **Size:** 1.92 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Non Toxic - **Specific Uses For Product:** Interior - **Surface Recommendation:** Paper - **Unit Count:** 1.92 Fluid Ounces ## Images ![Holbein Artist's Watercolors Set of 12 5ml Tubes W401 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-6Rn0+BtS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why not *by A***A on May 15, 2015* I prefer Sennelier to almost all brands because it has a really smooth, buttery texture (since it uses honey as a binder instead of gum arabic)...with that being said, I didn`t like most of other watercolor brands.
