Today we are going to look at the Art Whale set of 24 watercolor tubes I recently purchased off Amazon: https://amzn.to/3lqkcN4

Set of 24 tubes: https://amzn.to/3lqkcN4
Set of 48 half pans (review coming soon!) https://amzn.to/3C3GKch
Folding palette: https://amzn.to/3Cdu2I6 (this will likely be cheaper if you find it in a big box store)

Pros:
*price
*pigment info disclosed on tubes and swatch (Pigents all check out a having good to excellent lightfast reputations)
*large 15ml tubes
*saturated strong color
*dries down well in palette without cracking
*Rewets well after dried in palette
*Colors mix well
*Glazing is possible.
*Easy to handle, you will not have to compensate for any properties with this paint
*Sturdy storage box

Cons:
*Palette is not included
*I think there may be an error in the pigment notations for madder lake and olive green
*All browns except light red are a mix. they performed fine but they are all PR101 based with a black added.
*The cereulean blue was very stiff and hard to squeese out of the tube but it painted out fine.

Bottom Line: These are a great buy if you can snag them for under $40. You can't go wrong with this much paint of this quality. The pigments are tried and true and going by the pigments disclosed I think they actually downplay, or under-promise, their lightfastness. That ultramarine blue is the best I've seen in a student/budget range. I've never heard of this brand "art whale" before but I am excited to see what else they come out with!

I hope you enjoyed this review of Art Whale tube watercolors.
