Grumbacher Academy Watercolor
★★★★★These have been my go to watercolors for decades. I know there are more pigmented ones out there, but these are well suited to my more delicate approach to color. I have a few colors in other brands that I buy when I need them, but since they are far more expensive, the Academys serve most of my needs perfectly. Nice range of colors; finely ground, lightfast pigments.Just M.Virginia
★★★★★This is my first time to use this product. It was recommended by the artist I was taking a watercolor class from. I have used liquid water color and another tube style watercolor but this one was so nice and creamy and easy to get my shading and values with. I was definitely impressed!Jack, AdaOK
★★★★★I have bought this product for 47 years. I love these paints. I began using these paints in college as recommended by my colllege professor. I've used them to paint my paintings, of which many have won awards. Currently I have them in my students' supplies as I now teach Watercolor myself.KarenAnnaHixson, TN
★★★★★I have taught Children (1st grade through High School) water color classes for over 25 years. I always use the Grumbacher student water colors when I can. It is my standard. If, for some reason, I have to get a substitute, the other inexpensive brands of paint are okay, but the Grumbacher seem to have the best color on paper as well as being inexpensive. We go through hundreds of tubes of paint in a year and I have never been disappointed with Grumbacher.CytharaChicago
★★★★★I purchased the 10-tube set, and will round it out by purchasing single tubes of, for example, orange, and a wider variety of greens. The paints are very strong, dilute well, and are re-wettable if stored on a palette with wells. I certainly would recommend them to someone getting started in watercolor.MaryNew York
