MungyoProfessional Half Pan Size Water Colors Set in Tin Case/Integral Mixing Palette in The lid (48 Colors)

On first appearance these paints look as if they’re going to be gritty, but this isn’t the case and they dissolve easily with no ‘scrubbing’, producing intense, modern-looking colours which work well together. A good feature of artist’s quality paints like these is that a little paint goes a long way. My only criticism, and the reason I gave them 4* and not 5*, is that compared to European brands like Winsor & Newton, these Mungyo paints are less transparent and more opaque. That said, using watercolours in a more opaque manner seems to be the contemporary fashion.

I have been looking for watercolours that were affordable, very pigmented and on "proffessional" level. This was it. Absolute joy to work with. All colours that you might need, very quickly activates, didn't find it grainy at all and dries well too. Top marks.

very nice vibrant colours , but 48 pan set quite expensive in comparison to smaller set

Great paint thanks

Excellent quality paints, my 2020 painting is in Windsor & Newton student quality pans, the 2021 in Mungyo. The colour is really easy to activate with a little water on the brush and the colour intensity is mind blowing. My only complaint is I can’t find replacement pans.

I didn’t know what to expect, it’s really hard to trust art supplies that claim to be professional, especially on this site. From reviews I’ve watch online this watercolor works like professional grade watercolors (meaning it disperses/flows well into water, it is intense in color/pigment load, it has strong color retaining ability in sunlight, it moves across good quality watercolor paper easily which makes washes and blends easier to accomplish). All of these it does. What shocked me was how well these watercolor paints worked even on lower quality pulp watercolor and mixed media paper, and even with water brushes. The paint stays smooth, wet, and able to flow or be moved longer than any dry watercolor pans I’ve ever worked with.There’s something I can’t describe that brings me a level of joy and excitement working with these paints that my other similarly priced sets don’t match. I regularly use Winsor Newton Cotman (and Phoenix which seems to be a very similar dupe) and MeiLiang (aka “Pretty Excellent”). Cotman is great if you want total control over colors staying exactly where you place them. MeiLiang is more slightly more intense but a little less controllable. This set is more like MeiLiang, but easier to work with (better flow, better gradient blending, slower drying time), better dried appearance especially of mass tone and dry on wet application), and richer colors once dried for most colors.I also really appreciate the range of floral and earth tones in this palette. Some colors require longer activation (the time between wetting the pan before loading your brush) to get full color depth, especially the metallics and pearl white.I think this will be a paint I stick with for a long time. It appears to perform as close to the top professional brands at half (or more) of the cost. I also love the fact these work well with all types of paper (even card stock) so I can use it for card making and mixed media adult coloring with colored pencils or water soluble colored pencils.

I would give 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ one thing they can improve on - it’s difficult to unpack every colour and it’s so tiny. Makes it very difficult to remove the paper wrapping for each cake and the tiny plastic wrapping again inside. It’s not needed at all. When we open it we are able to use it immediately it would be great. It literally takes half an hour to remove all the tiny wrappings. Esp if we are gifting to kids - they have a tough time opening it. Pl just leave the cakes open. Thanks

👍

Premetto che sono una pittrice dilettante. Con il set dipinto acquerelli soggetto rose e fiori e mi sono trovata molto bene. Tante le tonalità x cui possibile fare sfumature senza dover miscelare molto i colori. Confezione pratica ed elegante.

Die Farben sind wirklich toll. Hochwertig und super pigmentiert. Farbauswahl ist auch super, bin begeistert und freue mich aufs malen.Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es lediglich für die Qualität des Kastens an sich. Die Kanten sind teilweise scharfkantig, die Farbnäpfchen rutschen etwas hin und her und halten nicht alle gut im Kasten.Dennoch Definitiv ein guter Kauf!
