Been seeing these around for quite a while, and wondering about them. Just obtained one! I love it so much!!! I am a new CraftWave addict, by the way (see my review of the AquaBrushes). These watercolors are real--do not be fooled by the cute packaging. The colors are saturated and beautiful. The selection of colors is excellent and more extensive than you realized when you actually start painting. There is way more of each paint wafer than you think. They do everything I want watercolors to do. They lift, mix, and layer well, and can be opaque or transparent as needed. PLUS they fold up into such a compact little bundle that you can take them anywhere, comfortably. The bundle fans out so you can hold it in one hand. There's a divided mixing area that's part of the fan, and there's what can be a secondary mixing area that's actually the bottom of the fan. Another plus is that the paint wafers dry off quickly--how the heck do they DO that?!?-- so you don't have to wait forever when you're ready to pack up your supplies. (Why have I spent so many years jamming half-pans into empty Altoid tins, hmm?!??) I've used these with good results both on sketchbook and on cold press watercolor paper. AND the set includes a shorty 5-1/8-ish inch Aqua Brush that has what looks to be the 0.3 round, with the usual good point. :D If you work in watercolor at all, *please* do yourself a Nice and grab an AquaFan. Cuz you deserve it. :)
