Mungyo Professional Half Pan Size Water Colors Set in Tin Case/Integral Mixing Palette in The lid (48 Colors)

I've been using these and MeiLiang for all recent paintings. They are not professional grade but are more then adequate for most work: flow well lift well, highly pigmented-- a superior student grade. They don't have the pigment load of professional, but I mostly don't need or want pigment that dense, and it's easy enough to just add another layer when I want more intensity-- or temporarily swith to a paint with more pigment, but that's rarely needed. The pigmets are listed so I know what I'm using, and often have only 1 or 2 pigments in a color. They don't use the most expensive pigments and I would not expect them to, but the ones used are good quality. I definitely prefer these to Van Gogh, and they are priced much better. Good box and palette, and lyout. Hard to go wrong buying these.

New to the hobby and I am really loving these paints. I started with one of those watercolor workbooks that came with a little paint set, and I was a bit disappointed with how washed out the colors would dry. But then I switched to these paints and I’m amazed at how rich the colors are. Gorgeous. I’ve added a photo of a reference swatch I made with the color numbers. I’m still terrible at painting but having a wicked good time enjoying all the pretty colors. The price of $35 is perfect for the quality of this set so you can enjoy the hobby without breaking the bank. I don’t often give 5 stars, but these paints earned a 5. :)

I Love this watercolor set. They activate very easily & blend beautifully. A good mix of Reds, Yellows & Blues. I believe there are many single pigments in the set which is really helpful when just starting out in watercolor & learning to mix your colors. I would recommend this set for everyone but really a great set for someone who wants to begin in watercolor.

A perfect little watercolor set - great for travel and nature journaling. You can mix a lot of colors using the 12 colors that come in the kit.

A very good starter watercolor Not a professional grade but I absolutely love this and enjoy working with this watercolor set. The price is reasonable if you are just starting.... my favorite colors are the greens and pinks But I do not like the burnt sienna ( row 3 number 12) to me it is dull! I do not like the permanent violet ( it is opaque and not transparent) First 4 colors on top left are not beautiful comparing to Gansai tambi or coliro I use this mungyo set a lot especially the french gray is one of my favorites for flowers ( I have attached a daffodil in progress for you to see the gray) Cause the price is very reasonable and quality is very good.... it definitely worths exploring, especially if you are a beginner like me and are learning and experimenting..... and you do not want to waste expensive materials. If you want a professional grade, this is not the professional set! I have added my mission gold color swatches as well ( compare them visually and you will notice the difference) . Also the gold colors from Gansai Tambi ( top 6).

Great watercolors.

For student quality paints, you get a lot of wonderful colors for a good price. They handle well. But Phoenix paints are close to the same cost, and have many more paints made with a single, quality, pigment. Many of these colors are 3 pigment mixes. Even ultramarine blue is not a true pigment, but a blend of cobalt and pthallo, so it does not behave in all the ways I rely on ultramarine to. Opera pink is pretty, but a known fugitive, and the pigment is in other colors too. The array of greens is great, although many are blends of other paints in the set. Convenient, if you use greens often. Very well packaged and very clearly labeled. If you care for the details of the pigments as I do, the information is well presented. This will be an enjoyable set to use.

I didn’t know what to expect, it’s really hard to trust art supplies that claim to be professional, especially on this site. From reviews I’ve watch online this watercolor works like professional grade watercolors (meaning it disperses/flows well into water, it is intense in color/pigment load, it has strong color retaining ability in sunlight, it moves across good quality watercolor paper easily which makes washes and blends easier to accomplish). All of these it does. What shocked me was how well these watercolor paints worked even on lower quality pulp watercolor and mixed media paper, and even with water brushes. The paint stays smooth, wet, and able to flow or be moved longer than any dry watercolor pans I’ve ever worked with. There’s something I can’t describe that brings me a level of joy and excitement working with these paints that my other similarly priced sets don’t match. I regularly use Winsor Newton Cotman (and Phoenix which seems to be a very similar dupe) and MeiLiang (aka “Pretty Excellent”). Cotman is great if you want total control over colors staying exactly where you place them. MeiLiang is more slightly more intense but a little less controllable. This set is more like MeiLiang, but easier to work with (better flow, better gradient blending, slower drying time), better dried appearance especially of mass tone and dry on wet application), and richer colors once dried for most colors. I also really appreciate the range of floral and earth tones in this palette. Some colors require longer activation (the time between wetting the pan before loading your brush) to get full color depth, especially the metallics and pearl white. I think this will be a paint I stick with for a long time. It appears to perform as close to the top professional brands at half (or more) of the cost. I also love the fact these work well with all types of paper (even card stock) so I can use it for card making and mixed media adult coloring with colored pencils or water soluble colored pencils.

I. Bought this set as a change from my usual W&N watercolours. To be honest I didn’t have high expectations given the price and a name I wasn’t familiar with. Well, how surprised am I? The colours are well pigmented , vibrant and mix well . The palette size of 24 half pans is enough if you are just starting out on your watercolour journey, and more than enough when you start to learn about colour mixing. I like the tin and the way the pallette is organised. My one criticism is the colour naming . . I prefer colours named in a way I know and used in a whole range of different makes , example , Paynes Grey, Indigo, Spring green , aquamarine etc etc. the paints in the Mungyo set are numbered instead. Tip; Swatch paints , match with a good colour wheel and note the name . You can then identify each pan by number and recognised name. I would recommend these paints to anyone , overall they do everything you want for watercolour.

When I set out to trial watercolour sets, I had a pretty set criteria of things I was looking for. I wanted a set you could get in your hot little (Australian) hands in a relatively short time period, that was inexpensive, and would help budding watercolour artists succeed in painting, rather than battling poor quality paints. Bonus points if I could get it with 24 colours under $50AUD. Guys, this one does. It. All. I ordered the Mungyo Professional 24 Half Pan set from Amazon, and I had it open on my desk in less than a week. The half pans are housed in a lovely metal tin, and can easily be switched out when empty (or for other colors of your preference). There is also a extendable mixing palette which flips out. The paints come individually wrapped with paint information on each pan. The range of colours in the 24 pan set is decent. A few inclusions are odd (Naples yellow? OK….), the is there is the ever present (and still just as useless) white, and I’m mildly perplexed by the lack of ultramarine. But on the whole, there are a great selection to choose from and there are a good range of pinks and a decent violet. I keep banging on about these because they’re so crucial to making really vibrant multicolour pieces. These paints really came into their own when I started swatching. Mungyo is a korean brand, the same as my go-to Mijello Mission Gold. I could hardly tell the difference between these, and my considerably more expensive paints. They’re so vibrant and pigmented, they re-wet perfectly and there is not a scrap of chalkiness to them! They mix and flow beautifully with water. The only downside to these paints I can see is that they maaayyybe are a tad muddier than my Mission Gold paints in my heart painting test (on my standard Art Spectrum 60% cotton 300GSM paper). But honestly, look at this thing. It’s so bright. The colours are so clear. THESE ARE $50 PAINTS!! AND THEY COME WITH A METAL PALETTE!! Um. I like these. Can you tell? Pros: Brilliantly pigmented and not chalky Great value for money Really decent palette Honestly, these are low-end Artist quality Cons: Not available in stores, though shipping was fast Lots of blended pigment colours, so slightly muddier when mixed Are these 100% perfect? No. there are a few odd colour inclusions and some colour exclusions that make me scratch my head. Are these absolutely brilliant for the price? Yup. A solid beginner set that will make you pleased as punch and keen to crack them out at any opportunity.

Excelente

I would give 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ one thing they can improve on - it’s difficult to unpack every colour and it’s so tiny. Makes it very difficult to remove the paper wrapping for each cake and the tiny plastic wrapping again inside. It’s not needed at all. When we open it we are able to use it immediately it would be great. It literally takes half an hour to remove all the tiny wrappings. Esp if we are gifting to kids - they have a tough time opening it. Pl just leave the cakes open. Thanks

Bellissimi colori, sono concentrati per cui ne bastano piccole quantità. Hanno la caratteristica unica che anche quando i colori si sciugano sul foglio da disegno possono essere riattivati e quindi rifumati o uniti direttamente con altri colori, cosa impossibile con altri tipi di acquarelli. Li consiglio, io mi sono travata benissimo.
