I gave this to my dearest friend for Christmas. She does a lot of water color painting so I thought this would be a great gift under the tree for her. She kindly thanked me but let me know this was not a quality project. It’s not real paint. She said the paper was was good quality and would keep it. The liquid is more of dye. It will fade and not worth investing in a painting as it will fade. I hope MSQC will reconsider this product.
