I am impressed on how pigmented the water color paint is! Very easy to use, my kids enjoy painting me pictures with it and it does not make much of a mess at all, the colors can even pop out of the tray if needed. The kit comes with a paintbrush which is a plus. Variety of colors is as expected, kinda like a rainbow. Kit closes and does not leak if there happens to be any trapped moisture. High quality, highly reccommend!
