RATEL Metallic Watercolour Paint Set, Premium Glitter Watercolour Solid Paint Box Including 12 Metallic Colors Solid Pigment+2 Painting Brush+1 Color Card, Soluble and Mix Well

lovely paint set, nice colours, is as advertised. Colours are bright and look great on the paper. Good coverage as with a metalic paint and water colours it is not going to be thick coverage. My daighter has enjoyed using them and creating her art with them.

not the best quality (as a professional artist these are not up to standard with some of the better brands) but as a person just wanting some nice shiny metallic washes these are very nice and good for the price. I like them

I’ve been after a small metal palette for a while, and considering that an empty name brand palette costs about the same, this set made sense to try. The plan is to remove the pans and refill it with better-quality watercolours—but of course I had to test these out first. At around £12, I wouldn’t recommend buying this just for the paints. You can definitely get better quality colours elsewhere. That said, if this set were priced closer to £6–7, it would be decent value for what it is: cheap, fun paints with a bit of shimmer and reasonably good pigmentation. The packaging is nice and compact. It comes with two water brushes and swatching cards, which are a useful touch. I did find unwrapping each individual pan a bit tedious. The paints themselves are surprisingly decent—not amazing, but bright enough to play around with and add a metallic pop. Worth it if you're after a metal palette and don't mind swapping the pans.

This is a good set with a lot of convenience colours which will be good for children to paint or more experienced artists for making preparatory sketches. If you are a beginner who wants seriously to learn Watercolours you will need more experienced artists help to sort your colours and assign them to classical names. Pans do need to be worked (scrubbed) when starting using new set but after top (protective) layer is removed colours will come to their full strength. There is no pigment or lightfastness infoRmation but surely colours should stay vibrant in your sketchbook or journal. Comes with set of brushes and creamy watercolour sheets to kick you off. I haven’t used them as I prefer my own brushes and white paper. All in all good fun set with unusual bright colours in metal tin which can be reused if you will decide to upgrade gradually.

these are just beautiful paints and the little fillable water pen brushes are so handy. I love them and use them a lot. They are particularly vibrant on black paper. Love them. Excellent value too.

Loved the range of colours and the inclusion of two water brushes. I wasn’t too sure how much water to use so my two sample cards are somewhat uneven. However, the most delightful thing was that, on the black, some of the squares looked as though the pigment wouldn’t show but once dry they sparkle beautifully. Not cheap but lovely to use.

Edited to increase the rating to 4 stars and add better swatches. In the last 2 photos you can see all the colours swatched on cold-pressed watercolour paper. The bottom row is a comparison to other cheap metallic paints from China. After swatching properly and playing with the paints a bit more, I've decided I really like them and will enjoy using them. I would give 5 stars if the pans were properly filled and didn't collapse down to not much at all. I ordered the palette of 36 paints for the grand total of £14.39, which seemed like a bargain to me. I've been buying handmade watercolours from a well known craft site and whilst they are absolutely beautiful, they're also very pricey. So this set, with 36 different shades, 1 large fold out palette, 2 water brushes, 1 paint brush, 1 pencil, 2 swatch cards, a velvet bag and a storage box for less than £15, appealed to me. First things first, with these generic types of palettes, usually made in the Far East, you are not going to receive artist quality paints. You should pretty much always expect the pans to be filled haphazardly, sometimes they will have cracks or you find large bubbles of air in the pans. Essentially, this is not the palette for you if you intend to use it for anything other than casual, fun use. This is why it cost me only £14.39. Initial impressions upon receiving the palette were good - (first photo) the box was sealed and surprisingly good quality with a magnetic flap for closure. Unfortunately, the box I received had sustained some damage which goes through the lid. The velvet bag is better than expected too, decent quality and I don't think it will fall apart easily. Time will tell! The second photo shows the paints with a drop of water added (I forgot to take a snap before I dived right in!). You can see the shades have a nice variety - I actually had no idea what to expect shade wise, the marketing photos are so manipulated. You can also see the pans have varying fill levels, but generally appear decently packed. Third photo displays some of the accessories included and what the paints look like after being used. You can see sometimes just adding a drop of water collapses the top layer and you discover the pan is barely filled. This is obviously highly disappointing - but again, you should expect it with these palettes. They're so much cheaper for a reason. Finally, we have the swatches which I did using the cards included. They aren't swatch cards IMO. They are thin, barely textured, cheap rubbish. I used them as a test and to quickly get up swatches of the shades for other interested buyers. The paints applied reasonably well, they are semi-pigmented and most have a decent sheen. For me, these paints are great to play around with, the sheerer pigment means they tend to be a little more forgiving for a beginner. My overall thoughts are that this is a great purchase for £15 or less. I would not pay much more than that. I hope this review helps others make their minds up.

This is the second set of paints i've bought from these guys and know that I've found my precioussssss! You can use them as a subtle glittering wash or add single details to other paintings (like in my review picture on the crests of waves etc). I did another painting for her friend of her beloved VW camper and it looked exactly like her metallic car paint! These would be especially good for fantasy and whimsical drawing (dragons and fairy wings) or even for christmas scenes /morning dew/insects etc- they really do hold their colour and shimmer, but apply gently at first if you're adding as a finishing touch as they are VERY shimmery. Don't hesitate- a lovely edition to your paint collection and a LOT of fun :)

Ontzettend verrast door de inhoud van de verpakking , heerlijke verf om mee te werken , klein minpuntje niet alle pans zijn goed gevuld , maar voor die prijs kan ik daar mee leven . Reeds een tweede besteld als kado .

Me he quedado muy sorprendida con todo lo que trae este set. Vienen 5 pinceles de distintos tamaños, 2 de ellos con depósito de agua. Un sobre con hojas de papel para acuarela y una carta de colores en blanco. La caja de acuareles es metálica, con tapa adicional para mezclas, los godets están perfectos, a excepción de algunos metálicos que se ven más vacíos. Me ha pasado lo mismocon otras marcas, desconozco el motivo. Son 48 colores en total, muy bonitos.

Wunderbare Metallic Aquarellfarben; sehr farbintensiv auf weißem wie auf schwarzem Papier, cremig, variantenreiche Palette. Wird im hochwertigen Metallkasten und sogar einem Samtetui geliefert, inkl. Wassertankpinsel und einfachem Bleistift. Zur Lichtechtheit kann man nach so kurzer Zeit nichts sagen. Tolles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, vll hätte ich doch das größere Set nehmen sollen... ;)

All'interno di una bustina in velluto si trovano non solo gli acquarelli in una scatolina di latta molto pratica, ma anche due pennelli a serbatoio! Utilissimi dal momento che questi acquerelli io li utilizzo più per fare card e biglietti che per disegnare, quindi questi pennelli mi evitano il barattolo dell'acqua. Tutti i colori sono super pigmentati e metallizzati, l'unico colore che rilascia solo brillantini é l'argento, bellissimo per dare dei tocchi metallizzati! Mentre i colori meno metallizzati sono il rosso e uno dei due blu. Spettacolari invece l'oro e il bronzo. Sono bellissimi anche per fare lettering! Utilizzando i pennelli a serbatoio reggono bene su qualsiasi tipo di cartoncino, anche un semplice F4, ovviamente la resa, a differenza degli acquerelli tradizionali, é migliore su foglio liscio, dove non creandosi ombre date dalla ruvidità della Carta, si vede bene l'effetto metallizzato.

Este set de acuarelas es super bonito,viene muy bien presentado en su cajita metálica,y trae una bolsa de tercipelo negro para guardarla. Incluye un par de pinceles de agua rellenables de un tamaño pequeñito que son geniales para usar con acuarelas porque puedes dosificar la cantidad de agua mientras pintas... Sé que hay veces que al recibir acuarelas de este tipo, las pastillas no vienen llenas del todo, pero en esta compra en concreto estaban bien de cantidad,ninguna por debajo del tamaño normal de llenado... Lo mejor es comprobar que los colores tienen un pigmentación estupenda,y cubren un montón, son muy luminosos y se pueden usar también sobre cartulina oscura porque se ven un montón!!os dejo una foto con mis primeras pruebas. Sin duda una buena compra que usaré un montón !
