Publisher's Description of Watercolor the Easy Way (Art Studio)
Watercolor has its own way... it predicts the outcome of the shapes. Let artist Phillip Berrill explain the mysteries of how to draw watercolor portraits, still-life, landscapes and more with his step-by-step instructions. This watercolor kit contains all the basic materials and information you need as you embark on a new hobby.
Let's get our art on! These complete kits from Spicebox are just as lovely as the younger-aged Petit Picasso kits, but are geared for a more mature audience. Looking to unleash your inner artists? It's so simple with these quality kits. Everything is included to get started in that art medium: clearly presented 64-page instructional book with techniques and lessons that help you cultivate your skills, subject-specific art supplies and specialty papers. The Art Studio series include great introductory-leveled kits with simpler, step-by-step instruction and fewer art supplies. A great way to begin dabbling in a variety of fine art media. The Art School series are higher-leveled kits with more challenging, detailed instructions and a wider selection of professional art supplies included. These kits are for your serious art enthusiasts. Not only will you discover the joy of art with these elegant kits, you'll be creating masterpieces in no time! ~ Emily

What brand of paint, paintbrushes and paper come in this kit?
The 4 tubes of paint are Art Start brand; the 4 blocks are not labelled with a brand, only the colors; the paper is 100 lb. cold press watercolor paper but no brand; and the brushes are labelled with size but no brand name. I would add that my daughter was frustrated that the paints provided did not match the paints called for in the instruction booklet, and there was not enough of the paint for the projects.
