White Nights Professional Watercolor Set 24 Full Pans (2.5ml) of Extra-Fine Artist-Grade, Vibrant, Lightfast Colors in a Portable Cardboard Box by Nevskaya Palitra

Colors are amazing, very pigmented watercolors. Lovely texture, smooth. Very good value for money.Suggest you buy a plastic palette of container as the card box slides in and can easily stick to the paint.

It took me 3 months to receive from Russia but after my initial frustration over the delayed delivery time died down I was excited to try it. I was blown away with how opaque, rich, and beautiful the colors are. A little goes a long way. A few things to note:-When painting stay away from light-colored surfaces. I had a bit of splashback while working and it got on a nearby door. It took me 3 wipedowns with Windex to get it off!- I really love how the box cover lists all the colors. Furthermore, the packaging was really cute..the little squares resembled packed chocolates.- Have plenty of jars with water available when working with this palette. The pigmentation really sticks to the brush. Also worth noting that the paint dries nicely with minimal residue.Overall, despite the long shipping time I will definitely purchase again but I'll be sure to order with extra time in mind.

These watercolors are stunning. Major pigmented, a little goes a long way. The colors are vibrant and rich and have a lovely feel on the brush and as well as gliding onto the paper. Watercolor is a crazy expensive medium. Paper, brushes and the paint, dear lord the paint. These are full pans very reasonable for what you are getting. Big Bang for your buck...the pallet? Eh...but you can grab those anywhere. I prefer pans to tubes, I abuse the squeeze. (At 8-20$ a tube that’s so bad). So pans make much more since for me. They are finely milled and true pigments, no hues that I could see although there are a few w/more than one pigment. They are a joy to work with on cold pressed 100% cotton paper...idk about hot pressed or pulp paper or mixed media paper.

Wanted these for a long time and am glad I finally got them. They live up to their reputation for being very high quality for not a high price.

The paint is very nice! The colors are very pigmented. They activate instantly with just a drop of water. The rich, beautiful colors glide onto the paper smoothly. I’m attaching a swatch picture. Each individually wrapped full pan has pigment info, transparency info, and the 3 asterisk lightfast system I have seen on watercolors of East Asian origin. The printing is clear but needed a magnifying glass to read it. The pans themselves have no info other than the words “St. Petersburg” stamped into the plastic on the bottom of each pan. I used a fine point sharpie to label the side of each pan. My set came in a cardboard box with plastic separator. I ordered them that way, because I already have a little tin I wanted to use. I glued little magnets to the bottom of each pan to keep them secure.The only problem that my first delivery contained a damaged box with only 20/24 pans. I was quite disappointed. That is why only 4 stars. If I hadn’t had to deal with a return, I would have given 5 stars. Amazon made it rightthough. I returned the box that day and two days later received a satisfactory replacement. Thank you Amazon.All said, I definitely recommend this brand of paint. Don’t let the price fool you. They’re nice artist quality paints. I just received them yesterday. Now it’s time to paint!

I've had this set for about two months now, and I'm still in love with these paints. They're very pigmented, re-wet easily, and you get a lot of paint and a nice color selection for what you're paying.Not so much a criticism as it's more of an odd thing I've noticed, but the cobalt and yellow ochre pans seem a little off. While the other paints can give off a lot of color with little water, these two seems to be comparatively lacking with their color saturation - its especially noticeable with the cobalt. They're not as opaque as the rest, kind of diluted-feeling in a sense.Another thing about the cobalt in my set was that the other pans were filled to the brim while this one came sloped inward. I'm sure there are some variances in each set.Still, I'd say this set is pretty great if you're in the market for some professional watercolors.

I bought these paints to replace some colors from my first set. I had previously bought several replacement colors from a popular online art store but upon receiving them I found they were not the original White Nights. Amazon provided a quality product at a better price. I would suggest if this is your first set you purchase one in a plastic fold out box that allows you compartments to mix your colors and is great for travel too.

These are amazing artist watercolors! They came sooner than expected (2 days earlier ha)! One thing that kinda threw me off was the cobalt blue and yellow ochre. I saw a review saying they were kinda diluted-like and I now understand what they mean. To me they're just a little more transparent than the others. Overall, the color selection is great, the colors are ALL very vibrant (including cobalt blue and yellow ochre!! they're just transparent, but they are vibrant if you get what i mean??) and I think the price for these watercolors is perfect!!
