How to Start Painting with the Bundle
Open the box and you'll find everything ready to use. Begin with the 24 Watercolor Set: wet the brush, dip into the concentrated pans, and paint on the watercolor paper. The built-in palette makes mixing colors easy. For a metallic effect, use the 28 Metallic Watercolors—they paint like liquid metal and add shimmer to your work. Try layering: doodle and layer with the 12 Watercolor Pastels to draw and create watercolor effects. The 18 Oil Pastels have soft, rich colors that can layer on top of dry watercolor or be used as a wax resist—paint over them with watercolor for interesting textures.
Simple First Project: A Layered Watercolor Postcard
- Choose your paper: Use the Watercolor Postcard Pad for a sturdy surface that holds up to wet media.
- Paint a background wash: Wet the paper with a water brush, then apply a light wash of one or two watercolors from the 24-set.
- Add metallic highlights: Once the wash dries, use the Metallic Watercolors to paint stars, waves, or lettering.
- Layer with pastels: Draw details with Watercolor Pastels or Oil Pastels. Oil pastels work as a wax resist—paint over them with more watercolor for contrast.
- Let it dry and display: Allow the postcard to dry completely. The pad's paper is thick enough to mail or frame.
Who This Bundle Works Best For
The bundle is recommended for ages 6 and up, making it suitable for children with adult supervision and for adults who want a versatile watercolor set. The combination of watercolors, metallic paints, pastels, and multiple paper pads means you can explore different techniques without buying extra supplies. If you're new to watercolor, the included water brush and palette remove the need for separate cups and brushes. For experienced artists, the metallic set and pastels add variety to your usual tools.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The catalog does not specify the exact paper weight or tooth of the pads, so if you need a specific paper texture for detailed work, you may want to test the included pads first. There are no instructions for cleaning the water brush pens or storing the metallic paints beyond general care. The bundle is described as a complete set to start painting right away, but individual preferences for brush sizes or palette layout are not addressed. For best results, experiment with the materials and see which combinations you enjoy most.
