Dr. Ph Martin's Hydrus Watercolor Paint Set of 1/2oz. Bottles-SET 2

Please look so amazing for all sorts of projects. beautiful colors

I want to state specifically at the beginning that I ordered this on Amazon but made sure the seller was the Dr. Ph Martin store, as I, too, was worried about the quality of the watercolors, the consistency of them, and receiving the right colors in the pack (I saw people were getting duplicate colors and missing one, chunky product, etc.) I contacted the seller prior and they explained what was going on, and that if I had any issues with them that I could contact them and they would take care of it with free replacements that would be checked prior to shipment for quality. Hard to find service like that these days, so I went ahead and placed my order. I received my order today (December 24th, 2020) of the Hydrus Set 2 and everything appears to be as it should. It was double-wrapped in bubble wrap. I have all the right colors and no duplicates in my set. These were recommended to me by my friend, and I get frustrated using my cheap tube watercolors since I end up wasting more than I use. These have droppers and are liquid, so it is far easier to use just enough. Even though they are 0.5ml bottles I wholeheartedly expect them to last a long, long time. I will update my review soon with more details and some photos of examples. I just wanted to post my experience so far so the item would have a more recent review regarding what is received.

Bought these for an online class. Beautiful colors, just have to get used to the flow and color combos. Looking forward to using more frequently.

I love these. The color is so rich and easy to blend. This set has a great choice of colors.

Shake before using. Apply to a pan or drop a small amount directly on the painting. Vibrant colors. Versatile. Didn’t expect to like. I love them. Highly recommend

I purchased these several months ago but waited until have used them for a few months to write a review. I use 140 lb cold press paper and mostly round sable brushes. I really liked them from day one but now just love them. I put a few drops on a porcelain tray and mixing is so easy. I use a limited palette, heavy on the primaries. The intensity of colors is so flexible—from the lightest transparent wash to intensely opaque. They are permanent once dry so layering is so easy with no bleeding. They are also lovely using wet-in-wet. I use mixed media and they do well with acrylics, ink, and Ink powders.

Came well packaged. The inks are vibrant and reportedly not fugitive. A little pricy for what you get and how fast you go through them but it’s the going price.

I finally got to use this Liquid Watercolor as the first order came damaged. It is well worth the wait. The colors in Set 2 are vibrant and glide on smoothly. I like for light wash on the wet paper as it moves in the background. You do need to be very careful and let dry in small areas to keep from bleeding. The color is beautiful when you layer.

No recuerdo muy bien para que lo compre, al principio creia que eran salsas de sabores, el médico no dijo lo mismo.

These fine art 2 watercolours are gorgeous! Rich in pigment, a little goes a long way.

These paints, although expensive, are a pleasure and easy to use. The colours are rich, so you only need a small amount to paint with. I like the way you can control the mixing with another colour with the droppers and don't waste too much. They remind me of coloured inks but of course are different.

I've purchased Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus Fine Art Watercolors before and was so impressed that I also purchased this set. There are currently (I believe) three sets. I had set #1 and was very happy with it, but it didn't have all the colours I wanted/needed. While this isn't cheap to purchase, the colours are very intense and a few drops goes a long way. The colours are very intense and do not require mixing, as the pigment is disbursed throughout the liquid. A shake of the bottle is sufficient. I do not expect to have to repurchase either set# 1 or set# 2 for years.

Bought all 3 sets for my wife and she loves them. Arrived in great condition and on time.
