Major Brushes Artist Watercolour Red Paint Tin 12 Blocks

The tins are solid and not flimsy. Though they look like poster paints the colours are watercolour ie pale, though if you wet the cakes well and rub your brush you will get darker hues. Very good for starting out with watercolour without too much financial outlay. The kids were secured at either end with a small piece of sticky tape which can be easily slit with a blade. There is space for a brush if you want to insert your own.

This is a great little tin, the paints are fine on a budget, but also the tin can be used as a travel tin for the rest of my collection adding magnetic tape to the pans. The tin itself took a lot of cleaning up with alcohol spirit as the packing tape left an awful mess really wide sticky tape had been used and leaving a sticky residue all the way around..took me about 45 minutes to get it clean so a star deducted. After that, it was fine and the contents were all good.

Ideal for beginners, easy to use and value for money. Just done a copy of the old Moaning Lisa and sold it for s few million at auction so obviously a convincing forgery thanks to the quality of these paints.

I bought this smaller Tin of Major Brushes Watercolor Paint Blocks along with another 36 Colour Watercolour Block set mainly for the larger white block & it was only a few quid so it was quickly thrown on heading towards the checkout. It does have three colours that the larger 36 block sets don't have too (why ?) they're 'Gamboge Hue' 'French Ultramarine' & 'Vermillion Tint' , All your basic colours are here to start & they're rich Watercolours & they're very fairly priced. But only just taking up painting I'm surprised by the amount of White that's used on white paper & no matter what paints that you're using, so again the large White Block with this set is it's main selling point I'd reckon.

A great stocking filler! Reasonably priced. My grandchildren loved them. The kind we used to use at school - Watercolours = Less mess too.

the colours are dull and grainy but they are cheap and if you are just experimenting with painting they are fine

No brush so a bit disappointing for a young player who is expecting to use it straight away

Great.
