I've only been a hobbyist at this for 3 years or so, but in that time I've learned what I like and don't like about different paints. I find that metallic colors have been a pain to activate, and then after a lot of work I'm rewarded with translucent layers.
THIS IS NOT THAT. These paints (metallics included) worked up very quickly and easily with just a bit of water. I was able to get smooth flow, and opaque coverage. The color combinations are rich, beautiful, and work well together. I love the sunkiss especially for dragon scales. A big bonus to me is the size of the cakes. The more narrow sizing allows me to get more of the colors on a smaller brush, which is great for me as my "clientele" is very young.
Very lovely palette, and I'm looking forward to more experimenting with it.
