MaimeriBlu, Jenna Rainey Artist Set, Watercolor Paint, 12ml, 6 Tubes – Professional Watercolor Painting Supplies

Italian made Maimeri Blu watercolors are some of the best in quality on the market. They are known for their color vibrancy and great performance. They are easy to use and apply well in both wet-to-wet and wet-to-dry applications, and blend beautifully. This Jenna Rainey curated set of six 12ml tubes is no exception. I swatched these on cheap wood blend watercolor paper (photo) to show how they still achieve wonderful results. On 100% cotton paper, which I strongly recommend, they are absolutely divine! An exceptional value! If you plan on creating a palette of Maimeri Blue watercolors, some of the curated sets are a great way to affordably build your collection, as opposed to buying the tubes individually. This set, the Jeannie Dickson set, and the starter set are all a great value with excellent color selections. I honestly prefer Maimeri Blu over my Daniel Smith, Holbein, Schminke, and Winsor Newton watercolors.

MaimeriBlu watercolor paints are beautifully made - most are single pigments. This is a lovely set at a great price.

As always with MB, a good quality and bold bright colors

Best quality paint. Harley pigmented. So smooth to apply. Great value for the money. The size works for going into the field.

The paints are nice, blend well and very well pigmented. The colors are different and not necessarily colors I would probably reach for on a regular basis. They are good for helping me stretch in terms of using colors outside my comfort zone so I don't regret having them but I’m not sure I would have purchased them now that I’ve tried them. They are very nice just not colors I reach for.

I give this 5 stars because I trust Jenna, it's a creamy consistency that lays down perfectly and since this is an expensive brand, this definitely a great deal...I do agree that the permanent red light and the quinacridone rose are so close it's next to impossible to tell them apart in your pallet or sometimes even on paper but you will know when you're mixing colors whether you used the warm or cool. I have been able to really play with mixing since these are wonderful primary colors over all except the green gold. Im happy with it and it's the best deal way to get some high quality tubes of watercolor that will be consistently used alone or in making new colors.

Great paints, pretty colors for flowers.

Beautiful colors! So excited to paint with these.
