Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a brand new painter, I purchased the 48 piece set. With more experience, I should be able to mix more of my own colors but didn't want to frustrate myself right off the bat. I've tried about 12 colors so far and am satisfied. The burnt sienna is a bit thick, but it's very usable. I would strongly suggest to a new painter purchasing this set to also purchase a large tube of titanium white. I have done 3-4 paintings so far and am out of white already. Titanium white is used to dilute other colors quite often and will run out very quickly, so do yourself a favor and order an additional tube of that color along with this set. Additionally, I would suggest purchasing a bottle of white Liquitex Basics Gesso or a similar product. Initially, I found that my canvas was soaking up a lot of paint and discovered that gesso is a product used as a canvas primer. It is inexpensive and greatly reduced the amount of paint I needed to use to get good paint coverage.
