This set of 12 Transparent Water Colors from Talens combines durability, affordability and clever design into one attractive package. Each pot of solid colors come in a nifty metal box that snaps shut and doubles as a handy mixing palette. The pots are removable and have raised edged to edges to keep them from bleeding into one another. A 5ml tube of transparent mixing white adds a mature touch. This affordable set is a great place to start for beginning watercolorists and its durable and clever packaging make it especially suited for children.
