48-Color Watercolor Set for Artists and Beginners

The Dushco watercolor kit supplies 48 solid cakes in a single plastic palette case. It is aimed at children, students, hobbyists and travelling artists who want a ready-to-use studio or field set. Three wooden-handle brushes in small, medium and large sizes are included so no extra tools are required to start painting.

Capacity and coverage across papers and canvas

The 48 pans cover a broad spectrum from primaries to mixed shades and reactivate easily with water for layering on watercolor paper, art paper or canvas. Opacity is rated at .49 square feet, giving a measurable guide to how far the pigment spreads before it runs thin. The solid format stays contained in the case, reducing mess compared with tube paints during transport.

Built-in palette and brushes simplify workflow

The sturdy plastic case doubles as a mixing palette, removing the need for a separate tray. Three brushes let the user switch between detail washes and broad strokes without pausing to rinse a single brush. The set weighs .322 kilograms and is certified non-toxic and acid-free, making it suitable for classroom use as well as outdoor sketching.

Questions about this item

Will the 48 solid cakes reactivate easily if I keep older tube watercolours for mixing?

Yes, the solid cakes reactivate quickly with water and blend smoothly, so they can be mixed alongside traditional tube colours on the same palette.

How can I check the gloss finish is performing as intended once I start painting?

Paint a test swatch on watercolour paper; the colour should dry to a noticeable gloss sheen and the surface should feel smooth rather than chalky.

What comes in the box and what do I need to buy separately?

The set includes the 48-colour plastic palette case and three wooden-handle brushes (small, medium, large); you will need to supply your own watercolour paper, art paper or canvas.
