Its my first time using Daniel Smith and I just love how the colour comes on the paper! Its my new favorite!

Bons pinceis, certas macias, usar água e o pigmento.Custo benefício excelente.

Eu lido muito com aquarela, analiso a transparência, cores que se misturam, qualidade dos piguimentos, e um bom pincel escolhido para o material.O papel é muito importante, que seja de 300 gramas.Esta aquarela é de excelente custo benefício.

YES, this is the set you want. Start with this set. You've got a limited budget and don't want to waste your time and money on crappy sets with 40 lousy, very similar colors that will not flow across your paper. You're a beginner and don't want to fuss to make beautiful work. Just buy these FIRST. You don't need all the other stuff being fed to you on YouTube etc. Those people get paid to endorse junky crap. You can mix so many colors with this set. Buy this first. Learn to mix your own colors. You'll be glad you did. Learn to draw. Learn to letter. I also recommend you jump right in with the best brushes. Princeton Aqua Elite are delightful to use. Additionally, Baohong paper is priced right and amazing quality. You can add to your watercolor set as needed, just start here. You won't regret it. I've mixed up the most basic color mixing chart. As you can see you can get some very nice greens, oranges and purples.

Wasn't sure which ones to commit to in 15 ml tubes, so I ordered this one at very good price. Must say, the best color of all is the Rhodonite which is a hot pink or magenta and is supposed to not fade if exposed to light compared to the other pink pigments which usually do. Jadeite is also interesting, dark green with some dark sediment, but can probably be achieved with other color mixes, not sure. Amethyst is a little sparkly actually but not in a mica powdery way, very subtle, and a muted purple. Hematite is a lot like Lunar Black. I have them both and can't really see the difference, but lunar black is cheaper. The others are very nice, but the three stood out for me.

Ich war mir erst nicht ganz sicher, habe die Farben aber dann doch behalten. Es ist eine wirklich schöne Zusammenstellung, auch wenn das Hämatit auf den Fotos irgendwie bräunlicher wirkt, wie schon eine andere Rezensentin bemerkt hat. Vielleicht ist das auf dem Bild "Burnt Hematite". Jedenfalls kann man das mit der Zugabe einer braunen Farbe, eventuell das beiliegende Piemontite, leucht justieren. Amethyst Genuine hat ein sehr schönes, leichtes Glitzern, je nach Blickwinkel anders. Die Granulation der Farben ist auch genau nach meinem Geschmack.Ich habe vor dem Kauf nachgeschaut, was die Tuben einzeln kosten würden und kam auf mindestens 80 Euro, von daher lohnt es sich auf jeden Fall schon mal, auch wenn ich mir vorgenommen hatte, keine 5ml Tuben mehr zu kaufen. Allerdings sind Daniel Smith Farben sehr ergiebig. Wenn ich Aquarellfarben anderer bekannter Hersteller in die Näpfchen fülle schrumpfen die über Nacht immer etwas zusammen. DS Farben bleiben exakt so, wie ich sie eingefüllt habe.
