I bought this product more than a year ago, and I waited so long before writing a review because I wanted to fully experience their properties.
The paint quality is amazing, especially for the low price they're sold at, and they allow the artist to mix an enormous range of colours. I bought three extra paints to complete the colour range, which are Ceruleum Blue, Rose and Payne's Grey, and with this sort of range you can virtually paint anything.
The high amount of earth tones allows you to mix beautiful skin tones for portraits.
The colours rewet magnificently and are exceptionally vibrant and pigmented. These are full pans, meaning that they will last for a very long time: after more than a year, mine are basically still full.
Some colours granulate beautifully, some are very creamy and smooth.
Yellow Ochre and Emerald Green are a bit difficult to lay down smoothly when you pick them up very concentrated since they tend to show the brush strokes, but if you dilute them a bit more they work just fine.
Some colours tend to stain more than others, but this does not impact the overall quality of the product. I found them generally a bit hard to lift.
The plastic case gives you a stable case to keep them as a studio set, and it leaves a lot of room for mixing paints. I never had to use a separate plate to mix paints. You also have extra space for other pans, and you can fit both half and full pans. It can contain up to 36 full pans.
Overall, this set is perfect both for beginners and professional artists. The quality is outstanding for the price, and I always had a pleasant experience working with them.

Excellent paints. Large pans and vibrant colors that re-wet quite easily. Fairly rich in pigment and i would recommend them for amateurs and professionals alike. On a side note, delivery, packaging and timing are excellent with Jacksons. This is my first order and will definitely be the first of many. Good luck. (Posted on 26/01/2017)

Do not be deceived by the low price , these are not cheap paints. Of course they are not top-notch premium paints but they are superb value for money quality pigments in no-nonsense packaging that will see you through school and university level. Lots of pros love them for journal sketch work, experiments, multi-media. Bought my son the 24 palette plus extras like Chromium oxide,Voroneszh black etc. Plastic palette has stood fine for 2 years handling from a 14 stone rugby player.
Only drawback is occasionally some variability in pigment quality but frankly at these prices you can afford to buy a few better pigments. If you feel insecure without your designer labels then these are not for you but if you love colour you can have a ball with these.
