Viviva Watercolor Sheets, Spring 16 Colors - Travel Watercolor Paint Set for Adults Beginners, Artists, Hobbyists - Lightfast, Vibrant, Handmade & Portable Watercolor Kit with Mixing Palette

Update: tried the metallics on cellulose paper. Two layers. Still no sheen or shine.The metallics are a dud. Could be the issue of ethically sourced mica, expense and quantities. however why even include it. I have elaborated more below.Overall:Rarely write a review so quickly after purchase. I Usually wait a few weeks of use.However these paints are just - chef’s kiss.After watching frugalcrafter and Diane Antoine’s reviews, I bought this set.They are Beyond my expectations. Love them.I used a water brush ( my go to for plein air) and budget cotton paper.They are vibrant. Not jarring,y but dry to the same value as when wet. ❤️For lifting and layering watch Lindsay’s review. As a beginner I don’t do much of that kind of painting. Great for loose florals and whimsical landscapes.If you are buying the Spring set for the 4 metallics, you will be disappointed . There is no sheen or shine.fun convenience pastels would have been a better inclusion, especially given its Sping ! Lilac, creamsicle orange, or even a kind of buff titanium and a neutral/Payne’s grey.With budget metallics I have noticed that some seem to pop more on smooth, cellulose paper, but I have not tried that with these paints. (See update)Mixing pigments is tedious as you have to flip back and forth, unlike pans , but that’s a small quibble on my part. This is not meant to replace my palettes, just a handy tool when you are painting outside.I am So pleased with this sustainable paint company.They are white labeled and I have nothing against white labeling. The packaging and product is great.I love using them on my couch too !

Wow these colors are so vivid!!! Lots of pigment on each card and it's a cute little book. Also has a sheet between each color for non transfer of colors. AND It comes with a little mixing pad. You stick it on the back page and it folds out. And yes I tried it. It works and wipes off clean with water :) I love it it's a great travel pad and lots of fun. It would be good for anyone. Great value for the price and I recommend to anyone who loves watercolor. I also love the little note that came with it from the family that makes it. I support family owned businesses and will continue to buy vivia. Its such a nice company with beautiful colors.

Product was as described. Vibrant colors that will be handy for traveling projects.

This is the 2nd set I have bought. My daughter loves this product and so I bought her another set of different colors. It is easy to use and a little color goes a long way. I highly recommend buying it.

These colors will surprise you. I had these in my studio and they were forgotten in a box. When I swatched them I couldn’t believe how potent and lovely they are. Handy for travel too. I’ve tried the other 2 sets too and they are also great.

I like these for ease of travel and for at home because they dry so fast. They are dry before a cat has a chance to step on the cards and track it everywhere! The yellow in this pack came off faster than the other colors but it’s a beautiful color.

This booklet is so unique in its portability! It’s lightweight and small. And the flip-book style formate is easy to use.I love the vibrant colors. They come alive even with the smallest application of water.Highly recommend for novice to professional artists.

I use these for journaling and they are the cutest things; the colors are wonderfully vibrant and dry quickly…genius ideas!!
