Thank you for the correction! When I was recording, I didn't have the prices on hand and was going by memory. I must have been thinking of the 12 color selection. The price has gone up since I originally bought it, but I checked my original invoice and it was $13.98 at the time of purchase. I'm glad you commented so people know. Thank you!

If ppl are being honest, Even if they were $50 they are worth it. They aren't watercolors. They aren't inks. They aren't graphitints, but whatever they are they are worth it. Also, if we aren't lying to ourselves, everything is made in China. So why pay more based on where the distributor is.

I’ve seen this watercolor set all over Amazon lately. Some listings say it’s supposed to be Gouache or like an opaque watercolor. Asian and western watercolors have a lot of differences, especially these cheaper sets. There’s some excellent Asian brands making watercolors but these mass produced ones are always hit or miss. The colors are lovely though. Nice earth tones.

I love your username!! 😄 This watercolor set is different than others I've used. It almost feels like a different product, which someone else commented and I agree with. It spreads but doesn't spread, it's transparent but also sort of opaque, it seems to granulate. It doesn't like to move much after it dries. It has been very interesting to play with and I actually bought it because of those nice earth tones. The colors go wonderfully together and are very rich looking. The pans wet nicely and the paint becomes kind of thick, almost like a gouache. It's worth a try if you're looking to experiment with something new! You might just fall in love. Happy creating! One thing I think I noted in the video too is that they do not appear metallic on paper much at all, even though they are sold that way. Which was fine with me, I actually didn't notice that in the description when I purchased them so I wasn't disappointed.

I saw Miranda use the rice paper. You have to crush it and then soak it in water then flatten it and then paint- with the paints meant for it Gansai or Chinese paints. Such a to do!

Thank you for your comment. I was not aware there was talk about Temu specifically with forced labor/exploitation. Although I cannot say I am surprised, given that today's consumer has a just about impossible task of choosing any product at all that isn't produced using some form of exploitation, let alone any real knowledge of the source of anything they purchase. It seems to be baked into the global supply chain and if your statement about Temu is true, it is a symptom of a much larger global problem. The world's favorite brands of coffee, chocolate, clothing brands that use cotton, makeup, and even building materials, raw natural resources, and agricultural products, have had reports of using exploited labor. It is particularly alarming when you read the US Department of Labor's List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor, which had a total of 467 goods and raw materials produced in 78 countries. I think it is very admirable to seek sources that do not use exploited labor, and if you can share some brands here that you've researched, more folks can gain awareness.
