"This is an excellent, useful product! The product creator, a highly experienced artist and teacher, has written a booklet with easy to follow exercises, to learn how to play with watercolors and mix colors to capture the energy of light in your paintings." -Teri
"With several color wheel diagrams and tips for creating intriguing effects of luminosity and luster, there is a wealth of useful information in this small package for aspiring or experienced artists. I purchased several of these and have already given one as a gift to a college art student. I donated several to my local art association fine arts festival auction. They were snapped up by an artist/landscape designer and a high school art teacher. I need another kit for myself and another award-winning teacher of art." -Evalyn
"As a photographer, I find the concepts useful for combinging color and light in my images of nature."
