It's a good introduction set to painting with oils, acrylics and water colors. Just what I wanted since I am just starting out. It gives you a good variety of media to experiment with. You soon realized that if you are going to do quality work you need an few more supplies. (I am going with acrylics)
I added:
One Stroke Painting INT1059 Folk Art Value Brush Pack (Amazon)
Stainless Steel Painting Knife Pallet Knife 5-Piece Set (Amazon)
and a couple more things like gesso, Matte Finish Spray and larger
tube of white (Amazon)
In the end the nicest part of this set will be the wooden box. It is very nicely made with dovetailed joints, drawers for storage and good hardware (flip latches) and sturdy leather handle. I will have a convenient place to store all my supplies and I can take them anywhere should I decide to work outside or on location. I love it. The box is classy and convenient.
"THIS IS NOT A TOY" I DON'T KNOW WHY AMAZON CONSIDERS THIS A TOY
This paint kit would be excellent for someone who is just learning to paint. It has a slew of different media and brushes. I guess I don't need to list it all. I also like that the easel is built in. I did buy new brushes. The ones that come with the set are crappy. I found that the bristles on all of them are too long and too difficult to control if you're trying to make narrow, short lines.

This set is nice but in my opinion not worth the price, the paints are good but the box is pretty flimsy and the brushes are not very good. when i got it one of the oil paints had been punctured and paint got on the inside of the box and on some of the other paints and the pallet, it sounds like a lot but it wasn't really THAT much paint, just enough to be annoying and dissapointing, especially because the set was a christmas gift for my wife. I must say though that besides all that she does have a lot of fun with this and has painted many cute pictures to hang in our new babies room. I would recomend looking for a different paint set if i were you, or at least if you could find this one for a much lower price.

Just received this item and was very excited about it. When I took it out of the package, the bottom of the wooden box fell off and the 2 drawer fronts! Very shoddy construction. Rubber foot was missing off bottom of the box. Pastels were floating around inside. Not sure if the art supplies are worth anything, I couldn't get past how awful the box was. The easel did not have the "lip" to hold a canvas as pictured and is not sturdy. So disappointed....

I bought this for my 9 yr old niece and it arrived in good condition, nothing broken or leaking. Not that I am an artist, I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler, but this seems to be a good quality beginner set for those who like to draw or paint, especially for kids, maybe not as much for adults, but if I could draw I would use it :-)
