MUNGYO Professional Half Pan Size Water Colors Set in Tin Case/Integral Mixing Palette in The lid (Assorted)

Beautiful selection of colors. Quality paints in affordable price range. Really worth the money

Very cute and useful

i love the colours

When I set out to trial watercolour sets, I had a pretty set criteria of things I was looking for. I wanted a set you could get in your hot little (Australian) hands in a relatively short time period, that was inexpensive, and would help budding watercolour artists succeed in painting, rather than battling poor quality paints. Bonus points if I could get it with 24 colours under $50AUD. Guys, this one does. It. All. I ordered the Mungyo Professional 24 Half Pan set from Amazon, and I had it open on my desk in less than a week. The half pans are housed in a lovely metal tin, and can easily be switched out when empty (or for other colors of your preference). There is also a extendable mixing palette which flips out. The paints come individually wrapped with paint information on each pan. The range of colours in the 24 pan set is decent. A few inclusions are odd (Naples yellow? OK….), the is there is the ever present (and still just as useless) white, and I’m mildly perplexed by the lack of ultramarine. But on the whole, there are a great selection to choose from and there are a good range of pinks and a decent violet. I keep banging on about these because they’re so crucial to making really vibrant multicolour pieces. These paints really came into their own when I started swatching. Mungyo is a korean brand, the same as my go-to Mijello Mission Gold. I could hardly tell the difference between these, and my considerably more expensive paints. They’re so vibrant and pigmented, they re-wet perfectly and there is not a scrap of chalkiness to them! They mix and flow beautifully with water. The only downside to these paints I can see is that they maaayyybe are a tad muddier than my Mission Gold paints in my heart painting test (on my standard Art Spectrum 60% cotton 300GSM paper). But honestly, look at this thing. It’s so bright. The colours are so clear. THESE ARE $50 PAINTS!! AND THEY COME WITH A METAL PALETTE!! Um. I like these. Can you tell? Pros: Brilliantly pigmented and not chalky Great value for money Really decent palette Honestly, these are low-end Artist quality Cons: Not available in stores, though shipping was fast Lots of blended pigment colours, so slightly muddier when mixed Are these 100% perfect? No. there are a few odd colour inclusions and some colour exclusions that make me scratch my head. Are these absolutely brilliant for the price? Yup. A solid beginner set that will make you pleased as punch and keen to crack them out at any opportunity.

I bought these because the reviews were great. That’s not always as helpful as we’d like right. Well. Oh my goodness. These are amazing. Tin box. Yum. Amazing colours. They feel sooooo creamy. Other reviews said they don’t need much activating and I’m not sure it can be over stated at all. Just a touch of the wet brush to the dry pan and you get plenty of pigment. The colour is vibrant and so translucent. I’m so excited I’ve not even had time to do more than a swatch and playing with one colour and I’m over the moon. Beautiful layering. Though I was too impatient to wait for it to dry properly. Anyway. So very worth the money. Oh. I bought Daniel smith the other day as a treat but I’m afraid I may end up using these all the time. So so so happy.

I've been using these and MeiLiang for all recent paintings. They are not professional grade but are more then adequate for most work: flow well lift well, highly pigmented-- a superior student grade. They don't have the pigment load of professional, but I mostly don't need or want pigment that dense, and it's easy enough to just add another layer when I want more intensity-- or temporarily swith to a paint with more pigment, but that's rarely needed. The pigmets are listed so I know what I'm using, and often have only 1 or 2 pigments in a color. They don't use the most expensive pigments and I would not expect them to, but the ones used are good quality. I definitely prefer these to Van Gogh, and they are priced much better. Good box and palette, and lyout. Hard to go wrong buying these.
