Watercolor Painting Gift Kit

Price: $179.99

The Daler-Rowney 10-tube Slider Set is extremely cool - featuring 8 full-size tubes, a great traveling box with a built-in palette, and a watercolor brush to boot! The Richeson French Easel is one of the most popular easels ever, and has proven to offer an unbeatable mix of design, reliability, and function. Quite simply no other easel offers more value for the dollar, plus you can take it outside during the warmer months!

When people talk about watercolor brushes, Kolinsky is often mentioned, but their brushes rarely get used. The main reason is cost. However, there is no substitute when you try a Kolinsky brush, and the brush is the most important tool used in watercolor painting. It was definitely overkill including it in this watercolor kit, but our partner, Rex Art, takes the components of their kits very seriously. The Richeson set of brushes in the Rex Art Watercolor Kit could easily be sold in some places for as much as the total price of this gift set. You are going to love these brushes, and the Bamboo Brush Mat will help keep them protected.

Lastly, the kit includes great instructional and inspirational aids with the Barron's Watercolor book and the color wheel. Most sets might include a sparse leaflet, but the Barron's book is a great guide to help the beginning watercolorist get the information to start on the right track. The Aquafine Pad that is included provides plenty of watercolor paper to display creativity.

Don't forget that this kit includes Free Standard Shipping!
