Travel Professional Artist Paint Brush Set Review

I love reviewing art supplies. I know they will get used! I'm happy to share with you a paint brush set made by Paratek.

You can get them on Amazon Prime for $12.99: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077F2YT2X

This Set Comes With:

• 12 brushes
• 1 palette 
• A fancy case

I'll use everything, but the fan brush. I'm just not a fan of fan brushes. Maybe I should try them again. I don't usually find them that helpful with blending.

I love how the case contains everything. Each bush is separated. The really thin brushes have plastic protectors, and those did keep coming off. They could be made a bit tighter, to stay on better. You can see one fell off in the picture below.

The case zips up, and is easy to take paintings on location. I took the set to work.

Usually I use just an old box for a palette. It's nice to have an actual palette to use. 

These Brushes Can Be Used for a lot of Things:

• Acrylics
• Oils
• Watercolor
• Gouache
• Tempra
• Enamel 
• Facepaint
• Fingernail Polish

 I'll be mainly using them for acrylics. I love oil paint, but my asthma doesn't love them. Watercolors are fun, but I find them to be not as permanent as other kinds of paint.

What kind of paints have you used?

Disclaimer: I got this paint brush set in exchange for our opinion on them. The company in no way told me what to write, or influenced me in any way.

Watercolor Paint Set Review

It's been a long time, since I've painted with watercolors. One thing I do like about them is that I waist a lot less paint. I don't have to worry about them drying out when I paint with them. If they dry out I can just add more water.

I got a Watercolor Paint Set to review. The set costs $27.97, but is on sale for $17.97. I do wish that they raise the cost a little bit, and add a better brush. I love the color variety though!

Here's what it looks like with all the colors out: 

I started out with an thin acrylic wash. Then went in with watercolor, and added course salt to the wet watercolor in some spots. I also sewed thread around Africa, and the giraffe's fringe, and eyelashes. 

 

I still have to add more shadows and highlights. Overall it's close to being done. The image is mine. I photographed those giraffes. :) 

I like the watercolor. It had a wide variety of vibrant colors. I love the added white. With the technique I used with putting a wash of acrylic down first I need that watercolor white. 

This set is great for newbie artists, or professional artists. The trays come out, and stay in. I think I'm going to share this set with Isaak, since the trays are removable. It's easy to carry if I'm doing a demo at school.

Have you painted with watercolors?
