Talens Ecoline Liquid Watercolour Mixing Set, 10 Count, 1 fl oz

Wonderfully vivid!! Will provide hours of fun and exploration!

Ecoline by Royal Talens is a line of dye-based inks that flow and perform like watercolor, but remain much more vibrant once dry. I love them when I want luminous, vibrant pops of color in an illustration and the work perfectly alongside traditional watercolors. They're lovely and now that the bottles have dropped built in, they're even more convenient to use.Please note that, as with other dye-based inks, Ecoline colors are not lightfast. They will fade if exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. This means that while they are perfect for illustration or hand lettering that will be scanned onto the computer, they aren't an ideal choice for work to be directly displayed or sold as orthogonal art. As long as you understand what you're buying, you won't be disappointed.Ecoline is directly comparable to Dr. Ph. Martin's Radiant Liquid Watercolors, which I have used in the past and are also very nice, but Evoking comes in at a lower price point. I like both, but find Ecoline to be a better value. The colors are exceptionally concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Ecoline also offers its colors in brush pens, which some may also find convenient.The attached abstract heart illustration was created for Inktober 2018 using about 75% Ecoline from this set and 25% traditional watercolor (Daniel Smith and Finetec).

vibrant, smooth, opaque but not too thick and easily watered down, very secure packaging, good mixing quality, wonderful pigments over all.

The colors of the ECOLine paints are amazing. Extremely vibrant, easy to mix with water for various washes of lighter shades and mix perfectly together.I have had these watercolors for a week and have painted a few times with them and swatched them, so they have had time to dry in my plastic palette. A reviewer mentioned that they did not re-activate right, and I feel like perhaps that reviewer might have received a bad batch, as these respond to reactivation or even the tip of a wet brush in the dry as if the paint had never dried in the first place. (If that makes sense?)I have used only the tiniest drops to get several paintings and mixings, which is excellent, as I can see that these paints will outlast my pans much longer.I am impressed with these, very much so, and hope to be able to slowly afford to add more of them to my collection as time goes on. These are definitely 100% worth the investment.

It came right on time, and I really like the bright vivid colors. I will definitely be diluting them or toning them down somehow. You have to work fast. Once they get into the paper there is no getting them back up. They are very staining but again, vivid beautiful colors. I'll probably use them along with my highly granulating traditional watercolors. I really like the color separating layered look you get by combining the granulating colors with staining colors. But they will probably last me forever considering how strong the color is. The only complaint I have is the about the mess of the sepia color I had to clean off the bottles and the inside of the case. The top wasn't twisted on all the way and a little leaked out. A little goes a LONG way. I didn't lose much from the bottle and the cute little cases that they come in had no cracks or issues closing. I really like that they come in those cases and it definitely makes putting 10 bottles away much easier. I was considering buying another, much more expensive set of liquid watercolors but I don't really see the point. With the exception of the true red I feel like I have everything I need or everything I need to mix the color myself

Fabulous color intensity!!!Very nice dropper top bottle.

I tried liquid watercolors in a Let’s Make Art kit- I really liked them! I decided I wanted to buy a set with more colors. Ecoline seemed to be a very reasonable option so I bought this set. Thinking I could try some additional colors and projects to see if I want to invest in a more expensive set later (which isn’t even necessary after using these!) I love them! I’ve used them with a water brush pen and that worked really well. They did go on the paper a bit more opaque than I thought they would be a little more sheer but they dried to a very nice vibrant color so it’ll be interesting to play around with these! I’m very excited to add these paints to my collection. I’m in love! The only negative was that both clear lids used to cover the paint jars were cracked/broken in transit.

I love how concentrated these inks are and the colors are beautiful. They come in a very nice storage case.

It's great adding this with gouache/watercolour but it does fade over time , the image goes dull. But the positive is that it is a good product and had fun using it. Its lovely and smooth , easy to use , vibrant shades , good value for money , bottle good size . Product came white quickly and I would buy it again , but maybe different colours.

従来のカラーインクとひけをとらなく、耐水性では無いけど、定着液を吹き付ける事で補っています。

one of the best inks I have used.......superb

Terrible quality, never seen such watered out inks.

Fantastic product, very very happy.
