I've
never used painting knives before, so my review cannot take into
account any professional knives out there or make any comparison.
However, I've used these knives extensively in the last weeks and I
think they're perfect for beginners.
GREAT
> Good looking set, with a beautiful wood handle that looks elegant and expensive.
> Flexible stainless steel metal that I can safely bend and use in different ways.
> Easy to clean under water or with average cleaning wipes.
> Lightweight.
> The mix of shapes allows me to create different textures and shapes on paper and are also ideal to make painting marks.
> Great value for money when I bought them.
OK
The golden letters on the handle are cheaply made so the gold leaf is already peeling after less than a month in my hands.
This is a gorgeous colour and a decent acrylic glaze at a great price. It is not a paint per se as it is runny and body is fluid not medium or heavy. Average quality and a good amount of product for the price as well. I don't like the cap, as it too small to store the tube vertically, and, that being the case, it needs lots of storage space.
This pack has become one of my fav painting sets. It's great quality and really versatile. It's like a cheaper version of the gelatos sticks (i.e. water soluble pastel pens). I've used them in different ways (scribbling on a paper and then adding water, or using water over the tip to splatter colour or adding water to the tip to soak the brush and use it as a watercolour) and the results are fantastic. They are packaged in a way that the pens are protected by the pen-like twistable capsule, so they're easy to handle and put away. On the other hand, they can safely be placed vertically in a pen holder and the shape is perfect to tack them all together in little spaces. The sturdy plastic box they come in is perfect to air the wet pens while stored This a selection of basic colours with a lovely gold colour as a bonus. I wish these pens were thinner and a few more hues were included in the box, but I cannot complaint as you can still mix the colours to create new ones. Most happy with this set. The value for money is an added bonus because these are, after all, Faber-Castell.
This is a great set of good quality brayers. I use them for my mixed media projects and I'm very pleased with them. They're as heavy as the materials they're made of, which is sturdy plastic, rubber and metal. You can get an idea of the real length of the rollers by looking at my photo taken by a pencil. My only criticism is that the smallest brayer came used or slightly damaged, ain't sure, as per my photos. Great value for money.
This
is an amazing value for money set The variety of colours is wonderful.
These markers are like mini Tombows minus the price tag. Most of the
caps match the real marker colour. I've compared and tested them
against my Tombows and here are the results: 1/ The Ohuhus have a finer
fine point nib, but the brush tip is very similar although smaller. 2/
These markers are shorter, so I'm just guessing that the inner barrel
contains less product, which can be expected for the price. 3/ As the
Ohuhus are shorter than the Tombows they're easier to store vertically
in my pen holder. 4/I have tested them with water, and they react the
same to water and on the same paper, no noticeable difference, as per
photo. 4/ The external barrel material is cheaper and lighter, which has
its pros and cons.
The colour chat that comes with the set is not really good as the real colours look different, as per my photo.
The packaging is OK.
Most
pleased with this markers set and with the brand, as this is the third
product that I buy from them and it has a great quality/price ratio.
This is a really good versatile set of geometric and organic shapes made of flexible plastic. Easy to use and to clean under running water or, if used with permanent ink, with a stamp cleaner. Good value for money. I use these very often. Decent quality.
This is an affordable good looking pen holder. It holds tons of stuff in the three-tier structure, more than I could think of, and it rotates beautifully so its really practical. The compact design allows me to save space on my desk. It has a warm white colour, so it blends perfectly with any decor. It's made of sturdy plastic. It cleans easily even when it gets splattered with acrylic paint just by using acetone or a stencil cleaner. Most happy with the product and the price.
