This is a new artist quality pan set from Paul Rubens with some interesting pigments to tempt you. I have used it for a couple of weeks now, as part of the Sktchy 30Faces30Days challenge, so I feel I have put it through its paces. I will swatch out the colours and show you a few paintings before reaching a few conclusions.

In a nutshell, I really like it. There are some rarer colours here. I felt it would have benefited from cobalt blue and could have lost the Naples Yellow or May Green. I liked the packaging and it is a classic design. The downside is the lack of open stock (don't think I mentioned that in the film), so you will have to replace with other brands as you use up your favourites. If you are looking for an artist quality set at a good price point, it is definitely worth a go.

I also try out the sparkly watercolour paper - I'm at a bit of a loss as to why you would want this, but in case you are into sparkles it performed well for wet in wet and glazing, but not for lifting. Again since I made this film @amypanddirtytoo1926 shared this information:

It is the alum sizing. Rice papers sized with alum will called "sparkle dragon cloud paper" or the very thin translucent ones "cicada wing" since cicada wings are thin and sparkly. I have many different variations of sparkle paper. I also buy alum myself to size inexpensive rice papers for studies so I can save the expensive good ones for finished works. Sizing is important for the Gong Bi and Chinoiserie I do. And it is important depending on what effect I'm going for when I do Chinese brush painting/Japanese sumi-e. Eastern watercolor isn't meant to be done like Western so of course you would not be able to lift well. That is also why Eastern watercolors, like Kuretake, Kissoh, Choosing Keeping, Komarebi, etc are so extremely pigmented and thick: they are meant to be used in one layer at one go. Meeden, a Chinese company as well as Paul Reubens, another Chinese brand, have used alum to size certain papers so they can also have a range of "sparkle papers".

Thank you ‪@amypanddirtytoo1926‬

This is what Paul Rubens say:
More Advanced Colors: YouLan Artist Watercolor Paint Set features a new colour palette that is more sophisticated and smooth compared to the fresh colours of Paul Rubens' fourth-generation tube watercolors.

Vibrant Colors and Excellent Solubility: They dissolve quickly on contact with water, resulting in even and uniform colors.

Fine Color Powder and Ultra-Pure Pigments: The ultra-fine pigments are meticulously ground using extra-fine gum Arabic.
