Sumikundo 15452 Watercolor Solid Ink Ink 6 Color Set

These are amazingly pigmented and bright, and so easy to work with. The colors are beautiful and have a rich thickness, and they move on the page like butter. They make a gorgeous palette. This is a high value, flexible palette. Great size. You get a lot of product in the pans, and it's so pigmented you don't have to use a ton to get good results. The paint dries fairly quickly, although heat still helps. The paint is also easy to clean from a brush. You basically just need to swish it in water. Swatches and testing done on a Canson Mixed Media Artist Grade 130lb sketchbook.

Simply gorgeous & a great price. These are highly pigmented, and a little goes a long way. I activated the palette with water, and then took a tiny amount and added it to my well palette with some water. I used a 3/4" flat brush with one sweep down a full 11" page. As you can see it gradients beautifully. I also just played around a little by dropping some alcohol drops on it, and a few other things. I primarily got this set specifically for shadow/shading - but I think I will be using it for a lot more. The actual pans are quite large, and it does come in a reinforced cardboard box. The pans can easily be removed and the color is listed on the bottom of each pan. I have no hesitation in recommending this set. The photographs do not do it justice.

Pigmented, vibrant, smooth, easy to blend, & great for concept art. Especially love the yellow-black. Also, the size is much larger than I'd anticipated. Pleasantly surprised. I will be using these regularly, and am excited to try other colors in the future.

These paints are amazing value. They wet easily, are very strongly pigmented, and move on watercolor paper like my Daniel Smith paints (quite expensive professional quality watercolor paints). I have used these for quite a few projects since I purchased the set and I have hardly made a dent in these pans. For $11 I cannot think of a better value set of paints for an aspiring landscape artist. HOWEVER The red pigment used in these paints is fugitive (meaning it fades over time). This includes both the shadow red and shadow purple, which appears to be a multi-pigment mix of red and blue. I would wager that Boku Undo used Alizarin Crimson/PR83 for these paints, which is a notoriously fugitive pigment. Google "PR-83 lightfastness" for a decent idea of how the red and purple in this set will react to prolonged sun exposure. All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend these paints to any beginner. They are easy to use, mix well, and generate lovely washes. For the price, you are getting an incredible amount of high-quality paint. I love breaking these out for sketches or when introducing novices to watercolor. However, these are not artist-quality paints and should not be treated as such. I cannot recommend these paints for use in commissions or for any work you plan on exhibiting or selling.

I was impressed with this paint. The colors are unique and I like the shading effect. Make a swatch so you can see how the colors will perform with your paper and brushes. Great value, easy to use. Nice transparency. I can't wait to use them on a project

I've never believed in the institution of marriage. But now these paints and I are married, and I've never been happier. I come home and there they are, waiting for me, dark and broody, a perfect match for my shriveled goth heart. Someday we'll have dark and broody children. Yes, you might find reviews from me in the future on, say, the Derwent graphite paint set. Don't get heated, the marriage is open. I know for a fact these particular Boku-Undo E-Sumi Watercolors have continued a relationship with the Aurora set, since, you know, they share a drawer in my studio and besides, for some individuals, and six pan sets, one person can never meet all of their needs. I have a relationship with the Aurora too. Sometimes I like to watch both of them together-- they look really interesting, the contrast is pleasing, and they just do it for me. I'm in the fortunate position of being the hinge of the relationship. This doesn't apply to everyone, of course, but a lot of us also like to dabble a bit on the side. I like to play with pretty much all of the Kuretake line, and so far my new partner has been more than game. We both agreed, why settle when we can have it all? The key is both of you have to be cool with it and have open communication about it. Don't let the challenges stop you from trying if you're both on the same page and have the same vision! I'm so happy with this decision I'm almost smiling. I almost wore purple today instead of black. The skies are grey and cloudy, it's windy and dreary out, these paints capture this effect brilliantly, and we can sulk in the same space, content in the knowledge our relationship is forever. Water soluable, but forever.

Colori davvero magnifici, dalla grande resa e facilmente stendibili. Tinte ricercate e affatto banali. Da provare assolutamente per chi ama il genere.

I’m a beginner and love to make a big mess with these on HP paper. Little bit goes a long way, I like the intensity of these colours a lot. Deliciousness

Renkler çok güzel, içerik az ama ilave malzeme olarak neden olmasın.

I’m surprised of how great this product is. So easy to use and so easy to blend. The delivery came before the expected delivery date and I’m really impressed with the quality of the product and the delivery.

Excellent quality paint , great value for money. Ready to use sumi ink - just add water. Great for calligraphy, Japanese brush painting and also suitable for watercolour technique. I really enjoy these muted tones. I would love to get more.
