It doesn’t take up too much space on my desk or in my lap when I’m traveling, but if you wanted something more compact and easier to fit in your pocket or purse, I think the 24- count is the way to go. By intensifying the colors on the underside I’m also increasing the sense of light and dark and trying to give a better illusion of three-dimensions. It does have an odd feature in that the tip screws on in the opposite direction than you would expect: Righty loosey, lefty tighty. That’s why it’s important to hold off judging a watercolor brand until you have really worked with it for at least a couple of weeks.Sakura’s Koi® CAC (Creative Art Colors) Watercolors are compact kits packed with unique colours and effects for one of a kind projects. I used the Koi set for a good while, then when I started to use tube paints I removed some of the Koi colors for my tubes. The rich color assortment offers the choice to create bold hues or soft and subtle shades with metallic and fluorescent watercolors included in the 72-color set that provide shimmering and dazzling effects to your project.

The paper should be quite durable too because the marker is water-based and if you have too many wet layers, the paper fiber will start to come off.The Sakura site contains no info on this, but I’ve read on some blogs that there are lightfastness and/or fugitive pigment issues. When I first started painting it took me a while to figure out which colors to use and how to organize them. Each fully contained kit features a water brush, sponge, a removable palette and twenty-four mini watercolor cakes in a sturdy plastic case. Also if you come across a hair that has been bent [either by you or from manufacturing] just snip it off abit above from where it bends - this is because of the material, once bent out of shape you can't really smooth it back into the rest and DO NOT cut the hair close to the sealed end your holding as if this gets caught it could damage the end, so atleast cut it half a centimetre away from the base.

The case is made of good sturdy plastic and so is the mixing tray, it's a pitty the inlay tray is flimsy plastic that can easily tear/bend if your not careful.This method is good for A5 and A5+ large areas but the colour will quickly leave the brush fibres and the water in the handle will deplete more rapidly.
