Faber-Castell Young Artist Learn to Paint Set - Washable Paint Set for Kids

Nice paint set, it has everything a little one needs to get started painting. My son, my resident artist, loved exploring painting with this Faber-Castell Young Artist Learn to Paint Set. The young artist set came with everything he needed to get started with painting, brushes, paint, pallet, and even a canvas to get him started. The easel was a bit small for him (an 8 year old budding artist), he referred to it as “baby sized.” The brushes are nice and soft, and the acrylic paint worked well on a miniature canvas. He did enjoy mixing his own colors and creating his own artwork from his own imaginative mind. The kit did give a bit of instructional use and know how, but he preferred working off on his own imagination. I loved the little plastic carry case that it came in, after my son was done painting, everything was stored back into its bag so that all the parts could be found and used once again. My son enjoyed using this paint kit because he loves art. All-in-all my son loved having his own paint set and brushes. This was a wonderful kit for a beginner artist, for an advancing artist, larger canvases and materials would be better.

The Faber-Castell "young artist learn to paint set" is pretty cool! I have used several other Faber-Castell products and think they are well-made. As far as the young artist set goes, here are some things I really like about it: * Included is a booklet with basic information about painting strokes, which brush to use for what brush stroke, the proper care of brushes, construction of the brush, mixing colors, and more. I love how the information is organized and easy to follow along. * LOVE the plastic PALLET. The pallet has deeper wells to hold more paint without all of the paint running together. When I've used things like a paper plate, within seconds all of the paint is just swirled together, partly because they naturally run together and partly because the kids just do that. The deeper paint wells provide a clear and easy way to keep colors separated. There is still a section in the center for color mixing. Colors can also be mixed directly into the paint well. * LOVE the paint BRUSH HANDLES! The handles on all of the paint brushes are triangle, prevents paint brushes from rolling around and falling. One of the most common ways that paint gets on the wrong surfaces is from paint brushes rolling off of the pallet (or table, or whatever surface it's resting on). The triangle handles are a well-thought-out design perfect for kids. * The paint is washable, though the packaging cautions to wash any clothes or surfaces immediately if paint gets on something that isn't meant to be painted. * Paints are non-toxic. I really appreciate this because kids always end up getting paint on themselves and each other. It's nice to know it's not toxic. * The paper included is a rough paper, hearty enough to handle the paint, but it's not professional grade. * The paint included is a pretty standard acrylic paint. Nothing particularly stood out about the paint. * I really like the case that the set comes with. It's made of sturdy ribbon and washable plastic. The stitching and zipper are well made and durable. Overall, a really great beginner art set! Has all the right elements and great design.
