Here is a new format of a paint I reviewd in the past, the Paul Rubens Gucai paint. You can see the tube review here: youtu.be/NfmmQrmIuOk *note, it seems the colors in tubes now are what is in the pan set I am reviewing today
Here is a review of the metallic version: youtu.be/WKwbmszMocc
Today we will have a look at the 24 pan paint set: amzn.to/4sTLET6
Pros:
Price
Color selection
Full pans (although it is a shallow fill, similar to gansai paints)
No odour
Colors reactivate quickly.
Pretty packaging
Cons:
No mixing area included (cardboard box )
Color names are in Chinese
No pigment or lightfast info included
Bottom line: These are a good paint for the price but are probably better suited to Chinese calligraphy painting paper rather than western watercolor paper.
