I've received my Paul Rubens Glitter Watercolor Set. These paints are made in China. I purchased them because I'd like to have some fun, shiny paints to use on my black watercolor paper. I'd ordered a set on e-Bay that ships directly from China because it was half the price of other dealers. I've been waiting a month, and it still hasn't arrived, so I ordered another set from Amazon...which arrived in 2 days! I won't mind having 2 of these half-pan sets.
I painted swatches on both white and black watercolor paper.
I must say that I am pleased with these paints. It's interesting to see how some of the colors look so different, depending upon the paper. They will definitely suit my purpose--a Christmas card--and I'm going to have fun playing with them for other things, using my black watercolor paper. And maybe the white paper, too.
