I purchased this set for my 8 year old daughter’s art kit that she takes along with her to art classes with our homeschool group. She loves the colors in the palette and the clear cover helps to keep the pain contained so that all her other supplies stay clean. They colors are bright and vivid but the paint is not chalky. This set came with 2 aprons with brush pouches and a set of brushes. My daughter loves to paint and is learning how to use watercolors to create beautiful pictures. She uses the wells on the clear cover to mix her paints to create custom colors. The paint cleans up easily and dries quickly.
