I was skeptical at first about the 'three colors in one tube' claim, but these watercolors genuinely surprised me. The way the pigments separate and blend when wet creates unexpected depth - it's like getting bonus colors I didn't pay for.

The rewetting ability is fantastic. Unlike some professional-grade paints that dry into cement on my palette, these stay workable for days. I left some out overnight and they reactivated perfectly the next morning - a lifesaver when working on layered pieces.

The antique-inspired tube design isn't just pretty; the wide mouth makes squeezing out paint mess-free. Though I wish the labels showed the layered color result rather than just the base hue - that would help with quick selection during busy painting sessions.

While they don't have strong granulation effects (disappointing for texture lovers), the staining power is impressive. My test swatches remained vibrant even after multiple washes. These perform best for illustrative work rather than loose, expressive techniques.
