24 TUBES Paul Rubens Watercolor FLOWER COLOR MATCHING SET Bird Painting Swatch Review USA Seller

Swatch a color chart for the new Paul Rubens 12ml TUBE watercolor set called "Flower Color Matching". See how it compares to the pan sets (available in 12 24 or 48), which colors are unique, a list of duplicates. Demo painting Lazuli Bunting bird. ↓ SHOW MORE for supplies and other info! ↓

After having a bad experience at aliexpress trying to import these from China, I was relieved to see them start putting tube sets on Amazon USA. I advise caution with aliexpress (like ebay) where you deal with individual sellers not a big company. They often have disputes due to sellers taking money without shipping anything. I've also noticed a shady trend where if the seller gets one 5 star review, it will show them as a 5 star seller even if the other 30 reviews are 0-1 star, hidden behind a feedback tab :(

While these tube sets are not ideal for refilling colors you run out of in pan sets, they are wonderful paints. I was hopeful that my 48 pan set would have back up tubes when I saw the new two 24 color sets, but unfortunately the colors are not the same. (The plain blue box set matches the 24 color pan set, but this floral set does not.) They do re-wet wonderfully from dry if you'd like to make your own custom colors or travel palette though.
