Beautiful watercolours.

Love this box. The materials are top quality, and the pastel watercolours are gorgeous. This was a good deal for Derwent pastel watercolours, as they're very expensive, I'm extremely happy. Oh, and it also arrived really fast. So perfect all round.

Delicious Derwent

I have wanted one of these Derwent pastel sets forever. It didn't disappoint. Great for highlights in hair.

Absolutely love the colours the

Absolutely love the colours the texture and the end results of these paints, they blend well and they are not only pastel but slightly opaque. I brought a 2nd box as I liked the first set so much.

First try

This was my first try at watercolour painting. Loved the paintbox etc and the colours - my granddaughter loved the sweet treat!
I will be subscribing. Love the surprise element and being able to try something new. And I’m sure my granddaughter will continue to enjoy the sweet treats.

Love the pastel paint box but can't get the Gelly Roll pen to work

I love the Derwent pastel watercolour box, but I can't get the Gelly Roll pen to make a mark on top of the dried paint. I used to draw and paint a lot, but failed to make a living from it. In recent times I confine my efforts to making an image for every month in my A5 personal journal.

Gorgeous colours

Loved using these colours

As a lover of pastel

As a lover of pastel colors I like this set. It takes some time to get used to this kind of paints and how they react. It seems that blending colors together is a bit hard.
Love the artists work and the Zine.

Excellent Colours

My daughter loved these watercolours and she uses these all the time now in her drawings. The pastel colours work really well and the case keeps everything neat and tidy. Highly recommended.

Pastels are my favourite colours

Pastels are my favourite colours X. I was quite please when I received the watercolour kit. It has everything you need and you can take it on travels as it fits in your bag easily and contains everything you need.

Beautiful watercolours.

I loved the quality of these semi-opaque paints, and the colours are a joy!

Great

Really enjoyed experimenting with this months subscription

love it

i adore this box, i wish we get more paints especially watercolours, i ended up ordering it twice ;)

Lovely little set.

Great value. The colours are a bit more print like and found them useful in cardmaking when stamping.

Amazing!

A lovely mixture of milky pastel colours! Works wonderful with watercolour paper.

Great product & value

Fantastic box - I always

Fantastic box - I always love it when we get a full set so we can explore the full range of what is possible with the medium.

Nice

The box is simple yet it has everything you need

interesting paints

These pastel paints have a very unusual look to them so definitely a welcome addition to my art supply collection

Good quality. I bought a

Good quality. I bought a mystery box. I was very pleased with my purchase. Excellent value.

Great paints but why the white gel pen?

I was really looking forward to the paints in this box, the colours looked so lovely! They look great on paper as well but are definitely more like very watery gouache than watercolour. I have to deduct points for the white gel pen that was included in the box though as it didn't write on the chalky paints at all.

Great

Beautiful colours in this palette,

Beautiful colours in this palette, this is a really good box.

Gorgeous palette

Beautiful color palette, loved it! The paper didn't hold as much water as I thought, so be careful when applying watercolor layers.

Watercolor Wonders

I love watercolors and how versatile they are. I have quite a few sets myself, but none of them in pastel! I had a lot of fun creating an underwater seascape with this kit. One thing to note is that there is a limit to how much you can layer these watercolors, but it was still a joy to use. It was definitely a pleasant surprise to receive in the mail!

Loved the pastel watercolor from

Loved the pastel watercolor from Derwent, it is more vibrant and opaque than I expected from a pastel set. The paper included in the box was really good and textured nicely.

Amazing art supplies

Bought this as part of the BOG2F sale, and so glad I did. The paint pans alone are amazing and although the Gelly roll pen doesn't write over the top of the dried paint, I'm glad to add it to my art collection. I loved the Scrawlrchallenge in this box and will definitely find many uses for the supplies.

Love the paints

Paints are excellent quality, buying this box was cheaper than just buying the paint set. This included a pad of watercolour paper which is a great size for urban sketching and a booklet of ideas.

A lot of fun to try

Really different box with some beautiful colours. The pastel colours are like gouache. I love gelly roll pens, though it didn't work brilliantly with the paints. The paper was perfect though, so the box as a whole was a real treat. I love being able to try materials that are different for me, or not something I would usually get, so I found this box a lot of fun to try. The artist's work was a real inspiration

box 078

great value for money
good quality items and they encourage experimenting.

Watercolour my life

Absolutely love this box! Bought myself one and one for my mom. She also loved it so much! Super gutted we won’t be able to purchase single boxes anymore as we love specific types of art supplies such is this one
