Viviva Colorsheets - The Single Set

The pigment is amazing. The size of it makes it so easy to carry... I recommend it to every watercolor enthusiast! Its amazing.

Nice 👍

It is SO not comparable to a half-pan. I heard rave reviews of these colour sheets everywhere, you name it, Instagram especially is flooded with their ads and influencers. I definitely got conned, not buying ever again. I'll give my honest, absolutely not influenced, paid out of my own savings review.1. I HATED the quality of colours. They are priced like the small pocket set of a premium watercolour brand (talking in INR) , but if you ask me, I'd vote for Camel Artist over this rubbish any day. And hey, I think I'm in a good position to comment on the quality, having used almost all the premium brands like Daniel Smith, M. Graham, W&N, Sennelier, Rembrandt, Mijello, you name it. Poor quality.2. Comparable to half pans? Is this supposed to be a joke? What did the testers paint with it, a square inch of paper a day? I travel a lot and yes, paint a lot too. A half pan of colour would typically last me quite a long time. This one, barely covered a year (I'm talking covid year- so barely any travel in there). Poor quantity.3. This is a TRAVEL kit for heaven's sake. The least anybody could ask for is a waterproof cover. The design is such that if you are unlucky to have a leaky bottle or anything at all in your travel bag along with this piece of trash, be prepared to toss it out. Or else pack it up nicely in a plastic bag or whatever. I'd like to travel without that headache. Thank you.All in a, I think I wasted my money. I will stick to my little travel palette (Altoid tin can fit in 15 pans) which I made with small half-pans filled with REAL watercolour that last a while and give rich pigment AND is economical, instead of this sad excuse for a travel set.Why am I writing all this? At least someone might find this helpful. Thank you.Oh, another reason I got Viviva was this looked a lot like Fuji water colour sheets, something I saw my mother use about 20 years ago. For nostalgia's sake I got this, unable to find the Fuji ones.(which later I found anyway, the quality will beat Viviva anyday. Even now.) So, the idea wasn't novel at all.
