ROSA Studio Watercolour Set 24 Half Pans — Plastic Case with Palette & Pencil Slot

A Complete Watercolour Kit for Students — Right-Sized, Right-Priced.

This ROSA Studio set is built specifically for artists learning watercolour technique and art students. The 1.6ml half pans hold exactly the right amount of paint for a course of study — not so little you run out mid-term, not so much you're paying for paint you'll never use.

About This Set

All 24 colours were selected according to genuine painting methodology, not guesswork — developed in collaboration with teachers from Ukrainian art education institutions. Most paints in the set are single-pigment, which means you can actually learn how colours behave when mixed, rather than working around the unpredictable results that multi-pigment student paints often produce.

Each colour has a wide working range — from saturated and dense in a thick layer to light and transparent when diluted, covering every technique from bold washes to delicate glazes. The natural plant-based binder with gum arabic gives easy dilution and smooth brush application. After drying, the paint forms a matte colour layer, giving finished work an exquisite, atmospheric quality.

The Plastic Case — Built Around How Students Actually Work

This is what makes the set genuinely practical for regular use, not just a one-time purchase:

• High-quality, pleasant-to-touch white plastic — the lid flips open and becomes a mixing palette
• Additional removable inner palette with wells — extra mixing space, can be taken out separately when needed
• Colours mix and reflect true — the surface doesn't distort or tint your mixtures
• Dedicated compartment for an eraser, pencil, or short-handled brush — everything in one place
• Compact size — comfortable to hold in one hand while working, no flat surface required
• Lightweight — easy to carry to class, sketching sessions, or plein air painting

After finishing a session, make sure the case is free of excess moisture before putting it in your bag, to prevent paint leaking from the wells.
