Paul Rubens Review Part 1: Standard Watercolor set of 24

Paul Rubens Review Part 1: Standard Watercolor set of 24 amzn.to/2PoWIEg
In this review we will take a look at the Paul Rubens watercolor set of 24. I will be comparing them to the "Pretty Excellent: set of watercolors I reviewed a few weeks ago: amzn.to/2QkJxJW
*I also posed a review of the glitter paul rubens watercolors on my youtube channel today.
BTW here are the swatching stamps: shrsl.com/15rqd
This set of watercolors were sent to me for free by LightWish on Amazon and they sell for $38.99 amzn.to/2PoWIEg *Note a set of 12 is also offered for $25.99 in similar packaging.
Pros:
Beautiful colors that all unique making a useful palette
Pigment info is provided and most colors are single pigment and use tried and true pigments
The packaging is high end and beautiful (perfect for gift giving)
The paints rewet well and have a smooth and consistent application
Good price for artist grade
Cons:
The pink packaging may not appeal to all customers
Bottom line:
These a beautiful high quality paint and the high end packaging and reusable palette make it a beautiful gift or a craft room staple HOWEVER I think the Pretty Excellent paints are just as good if not more transparent and vivid and you get 36 for $20 in the pretty excellent set vs 24 for $39 in the Paul rubens palette. They don't disclose the pigment info in the pretty excellent set but many of the colors looked identical but that could be that the cheaper colors were in that set while the more expensive colors were in the PR set. also the packaging obviously is more high end and expensive and I think that accounts for the price difference.
As for the paul rubens paper it is fantastic, as good as Arches for half the price. amzn.to/2E9sO4L
