FAQs

Is this professional grade paint?
No, this is a very good student grade set, that is a cost effective way for adults to begin in watercolour. As you use up the colours you can refill using your choice of artist grade tubes (eg. Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newtown Professional).

Does it include a brush?
Yes. A high quality water brush is included in the set. 

Can I mix colours?
Yes. The paints are designed to blend easily, and the removable palette gives you plenty of space to experiment. 

Are the colours bright?
Yes. The set includes brilliant colours along with metallic and neon shades. We helped Faber-Castell test an earlier version of this set and were surprised by the strength of the pigments compared to typical student grade sets.
