Question 1

are these student or professional grade?

Accepted Answer

They are student grade, but they are extremely high quality student grade. They are made in the Netherlands by the same company which makes Rembrandt professional grade watercolors. To quote from the Dick Blick site, "Artists who try out Van Gogh products are often surprised that they're considered student grade." I love these paints, and they are affordable.

Question 2

Are these watercolors or oil pastels?

Accepted Answer

It is a set of watercolours - unfortunately sometimes items can get merged in the Amazon catalogue incorrectly when they try to reduce duplicate items! You can always report incorrect information by clicking ' Report incorrect product information' and Amazon should change this based on the information provided. We have just reported this ourselves as well.

Question 3

is the product shown what is to be expected?

Accepted Answer

If you have used Talens Van Gogh watercolor paints, then you know what to expect. I like them. The watercolors are highly pigmented, they re-wet easily, and the colors are super vibrant. This particular set is great to use at the studio. The wooden box is nicely built, and sturdy. The tray that holds the pans can be removed to use on a spare tin, if you have one, and take it on your travels. The mixing palette is made of plastic, which can be easily remove for cleaning, and replaced back. The fasteners keep the palette in place. The brushes are beautiful, a synthetic round 4, and a red sable pointed round 8. There's room in the box to add pencils or more brushes. I'm happy with this set. I'm my opinion is a great value.

Question 4

What colors are in this set?

Accepted Answer

Perm. Lemon Yellow; AZO Yellow Med; Perm. Red Light; Madder Deep Lake; Ultramarine Deep; Cerulean Blue (Thalo); Viridian; Burnt Sienna; Chinese White; Payne's Grey.
They are a good mixing set, and very vibrant.
