I have been pining for this sweet slim tin since I fist saw it. Schmincke has cute and unique tins. The regular price of this was scandalous considering that the paints are their student grade line but I kept my eyes open for a sale and I found one on Amazon: amzn.to/4beWfj6 at the time of posting it is still on sale with a 12% off coupon.
If you are interested in the flask palette I showed with the Professional Horadam paints you can find it on Amazon: amzn.to/3u1lWmE or Blick: shrsl.com/4eamo (for less than I paid!) no regrets.
Pros:
The unique tin!
It was on sale
The paint selection is good and useful, I like it better than the colors in the other Schmincke Akademy tin I own
Pigment info and lightfastness info included
Cons:
It's pricey for student-grade paint (but I knew that going in) and it's probably much cheaper in Europe,
Bottom line:
I bought it for the tin. I will probably put the paint I prefer in it. It's probably not the best use of your watercolor dollars but I wanted it for my collection. I was weak but have no regrets!
