L'Aquarelle Sennelier has been produced the same way for more than a century using the best pigments and the highest quality Kordofan gum Arabic as a binder. This blend of natural ingredients produces colors that have a smooth, light texture and offer vibrant, colorful hues. The combination of Arabic gum and honey offers an exceptional application quality that produces excellent wash. This base is then mixed with pigments and carefully milled. Sennelier makes sure to wet the pigments in purified water (without mineral salts) for 24 hours before mixing with the binder. This improves the way the colours and the adhesive fuse together, which in turn enhances the full beauty of the colours.

Sennelier is my go-to for watercolors, and this particular purchase of good old Titanium White was as satisfactory as all my other Sennelier purchases. It unfailingly produces a rich, colorfast result, and is superb when used straight out of the tube for highlights, etc. It's more expensive than many other watercolors, but it's worth it. Sometimes you just get what you pay for. I highly recommend this particular tube of paint, as well as all others produced by Sennelier.

I use a very limited palette (usually 13 colors) and I have tried all the usual brands to get the ones I want for intensity of color, workability, and drying results. Sennelier appears to have made a change in their processing a few years back because some of their colors are now in my box. I thought the burnt sienna was a bit watery at first, but it applied normally and the dried result was excellent.

This is an excellent set to buy. Particularly as your first set. They are absolutely excellent watercolors... there is a reason they are considered the best. But, the greatest thing is you get 18 basic colors and empty slots... so you can get 6 empty half pans and add colors you want to supplement the 18. For me, I am a oil painter, I needed white and a few other colors... so, was able to supplement the 18, and now have a custom 24.

I WAS SKEPTICAL; then I tried this fantastic Iridescent Gold watercolor. I thought I would need to go the more expensive route of gold leaf on a linocut print, but the Sennelier did the trick. Wow, a game changer
A rose by any other name wouldn't look as rosy. Love creamy Sennelier paints, and a touch of rose in the sky, maybe reflecting in the Lake. Sunset or sunrise, your guess. #blicksweepstakes
I have been using Sennelier tube watercolors for several years in floral and bird paintings, I bought the 12+ 6 tray as an affordable way to try out the pans. Were I to select the colors I would not have included those made of multiple pigments as I prefer single pigment paints; also I am not sure of usefulness of both paynes grey and ivory black. That said, the paints handle very nicely and rewet immediately; they also layer very well. No quality complaints.The palette has room to add several more colors and has plenty mixing area, also the pan tray comes out to give even more mixing area.
I am new to watercolors. I started with a basic set of tubes from the local art store. I noticed that I couldn't reproduce anything I saw in books or videos and thought it was just my lack of knowledge. My wife urged me to buy some higher quality paint from Blick. I finally relented and after much research decided Sennelier was the best deal. There is no comparison between what I started with and these magnificent watercolors. A speck of these high quality paints have more pigment than a dolop the size of a bean from the starter sets. The paint flows and reacts as it should and produces artwork that I'm proud of....even though I'm just a newbie. Sennelier is a better deal than the cheapy sets because their tubes are packed with loads of color and give professional ... MoreI am new to watercolors.

Today everyone is selling art supplies and sometimes at a better price so why do I buy from Dick Blick? Because of the quality of the products and the superior consumer service. In my last order which I was so excited after saving up the money to buy tubes of Sennelier watercolors that would complete my collection there was a problem. When I went to fill my palette one tube came out all binder no paint in the well! Wow no way to put it back in the tube. I thought are they going to give me a hard time this is a expensive watercolor tube! Wow! Wow! they were so nice and they had a smile in their voice and just want to fix it. A replacement out right away. That is why I am loyal.
Strong, brilliant color comes off the pan easily, probably due to the paint's honey content. I see much the same effect with M. Graham watercolors, which also incorporate honey. Because the color is strong they dilute to a wide range of tints as you add more water. You can easily go from strong, dark tones to light, effervescent tints with almost any of the colors. This is going to be an excellent set for plain air painting next spring when the temperatures and light graduate from our cold gloomy winter!This is my first metal paint box and having something that was not made of plastic was a strong incentive toward buying this set. My plastic palettes always stain after a while and it was irritating me quite a bit. I'm hoping that this coated metal box stays ... MoreStrong, brilliant color comes off the pan easily, probably due to the paint's honey content. I see much the same effect with M.

This was the 12 color set plus 6 additional 'free' colors. That's too many for my tiny aging brain to deal with and, to be honest, there are a couple of colors for which my own personal taste says 'ick'. I have no need for black, for example, and it's going to be replaced by Windsor & Newton's gorgeous Transparent Yellow before we exit our cozy cave into the real world. I'll get it down to 12 at some point and then I'll be happy. Probably. For a while. ;)Mike
caput mortum is a must have for botanical and animal paintings. Its purplish-brown color mixes well with greens or reds for flower stems. I have this paint by Sennelier in tube form, its a bit gooey, so wanted to try the pan, so far, so good
