Review: In love with these! - Sakura is one of the premier manufacturers of quality, professional artist grade supplies, well known for their paint (watercolor) and pen products for artists, crafters, scrapbookers, etc. This set has so many qualities that meet my needs as a mixed media artist (who also travels some) that I like to sing their praises. First, and perhaps the most important positive about the set, are the QUALITY. I have found the Sakura line to have the most highly pigmented (meaning more color rather than binder, which can make colors 'wash out' and not be as vibrant) pan (meaning dry blocks of paint, rather than wet in the tube) watercolors on the market. What this means to artists/consumers is that while you may pay a bit more upfront for the set, they last a very long time, thus are highly economical. And the colors are vibrant and easy to activate with water and use, which translates into beautiful artwork and a whole lot less frustration. Those of us who have ever used an inexpensive set, like in children's or off-brand watercolors, and get frustrated with mixing or being able to get a rich color on the page or canvas know what this means. Beyond the quality of the paints, this is the handiest little travel set I've ever seen. The box opens to reveal a divided palette great for color mixing. If you want it to, the palette connects to the side using the little 'feet' on the bottom. Place your finger in the 'ring' on the bottom of the box, and you have a stable mixing platform to use. Nice. The water brush included means you can fill the barrel with water and use the brush by squeezing to control the amount of water you need...and eliminates the need to carry separate brushes and water to activate the pan paints. The barrel comes apart for easy storage, and is sealed (when not in use) by a little black top that fits in one of the corner holes of the base so that you won't lose it while you're working. There are replacement brushes available in three sizes, too, which I really like and have purchased. I believe it is the Large brush that comes with this set. The little yellow sponges located on either side of the pan paints are great for technique work, as in lifting paint or water off the page, OR to dry off your brush before moving onto the next color. The spongs can be turned over so that all 4 sides are used on both of them, giving you 8 spaces to remove color if you've forgotten to bring a babywipe or paper towels. The sponges wash/clean easily. Lastly, I also use the inside of the lid for additional palette space, since I do a lot of my own color mixing. I cannot say enough good about this set and have given several over the years as gifts to friends, who have also fallen in love with their ease of use and high delivery of paint. Enjoy!

I joined an outdoor sketching group over a year ago. Painting outside presented several challenges for me and my initial attempts were frustrated by the difficulty in juggling brushes, paints, a water bottle- all while holding onto the sketchbook and trying to draw in it! After I discovered water brushes and stumbled on this Koi Sakura portable watercolor set, I was finally able to get down to the business of painting. At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like watercolor as a medium and didn't want to spend too much. At less than $25 for the color range and portability, I felt I couldn't go wrong buying this set. At that time, I also purchased the Cotman 14-color watercolor set but didn't like the flimsy-feeling palette and the paints kept falling out. I needed something easier to manage. This 24-color set had all the shades I needed with a few colors I don't even use. It folds up neatly into a small, square box that fits into my shoulder bag. The colors are strong and more on the opaque side - which was my preference, initially. The problem I did have with the Sakura paints is that mixing colors created muddy results. I read somewhere to not mix more than 2 colors together if not using single pigmented watercolor brands. These are beginner/student quality but are much better than the retail store stuff that's all chalk and barely produces any color. I've only used the included brush a few times early on. It was too much work to take off the plug and then attach the brush end to the barrel (and then dismantle in reverse after I was done). Instead, I bought several other fuller length water brushes. I like the Niji, Kuretake and Pentel Aquash brushes and have used Derwent ones as well. I just store the other water brushes (won't fit the Sakura case) with my drawing pens and pencils that I bring along with me, in a pencil pouch. Now I'm ready for better quality paints and the price difference is considerable. I plan to keep this Koi set because the box is sturdy and well-made. I can replace the paints with better watercolors once I decide which to get. I've tried the Prima Marketing paints and was impressed with the color clarity and how more translucent they are compared to the Koi brand. I suppose this is part of the learning -- knowing what good paints look like on paper and what they can do! ## Features - Creative Holiday Gift: The Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit is a great Christmas gift for artists, offering a portable watercolor set that makes a great holiday craft kit or gift set for crafters - Create On the Go: The 9 mL water brush with a medium tip allows you to transport and store water, letting you paint everywhere - Beautiful Paint Colors: This watercolor paint set includes 24 vibrant, assorted watercolor cakes - Mix Vibrant Watercolors: Contains a plastic palette for mixing colors; use dabbing sponge for artistic effects - Gorgeous Watercolors at Your Fingertips: Sakura watercolor paints are the highest quality to aid your creativity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001OVG40E | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range (Description) | Teen | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Art Craft Kit Type | Watercolor | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,186 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #307 in Art Paints | | Brand | SAKURA | | Brand Name | SAKURA | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,349 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00084511388956 | | Included Components | Palette, Sponge, Waterbrush | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 4.63 x 1.25 inches | | Item Type Name | Koi Watercolor Kit | | Item Weight | 270 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 8 x 4.63 x 1.25 inches | | Manufacturer | Sakura of America | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_XNCW24N | | Material | Nylon | | Material Type | Nylon | | Model Name | FBA_XNCW24N | | Model Number | XNCW-24N | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Product Style | 24 Color Set | | Set Name | Koi Watercolor Field Sketch Set | | Size | 2 Fl Oz (24 Count) | | Theme | Video Game | | UPC | 885348796712 789322634215 885325220117 885700668428 885920835761 885198745045 885238907419 885335225461 885388864785 885493283075 084511388956 | | Unit Count | 24 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Teen - **Brand:** SAKURA - **Color:** Multicolor - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8 x 4.63 x 1.25 inches - **Theme:** Video Game ## Images ![Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rvu7+kF4L.jpg) ![Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91n1d83z5zL.jpg) ![Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PnFLiIziL.jpg) ![Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91oPOJQtQdL.jpg) ![Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yTYlViOYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In love with these! *by N***K on September 3, 2016* Sakura is one of the premier manufacturers of quality, professional artist grade supplies, well known for their paint (watercolor) and pen products for artists, crafters, scrapbookers, etc. This set has so many qualities that meet my needs as a mixed media artist (who also travels some) that I like to sing their praises.

It's super compact, so I could definitely see myself carrying this around. Because this is my first watercolor kit, I don't have much experience - like knowing what makes a kit good or bad, if the watercolors are good quality, etc. But I will say that the colors are super, super pigmented. I will update this review with a photo of a painting I did. And the brush is absolutely awesome. I literally squeeze it like 2-3 times and the entire color will be gone from the brush tip. It's insane. The first time I used this I was worried about the durability of this brush, and how it would control the amount of water when I squeeze, but it's brilliant. Solid control, and easy to use. I believe it makes watercoloring easy for complete beginners who have no understanding on how to control on water. I definitely feel like as I experimented with this, the ease I felt was because of this amazing brush. All you do is fill the inside with water, and turn the actual brush-tip part on. Voila! It's connected, and will not leak. Also, on the back of the box shown in the product image, there are instructions that you can put a little canvas or paper on the inside of the lid (so once you open the box, the lid will be flat) when you paint. Like they're trying to sell that it's also an easel or something. This doesn't work for me because 1) my paper is massive and 2) It wouldn't be very balanced anyway, because the paper would shift around on the plastic. I don't think this would be a problem for a lot of people because we would all be using pretty big pieces of paper, but just letting you know. It doesn't work for me, and I don't see how this would be that great, because I feel like it would slide around, or if you accidentally moved the entire kit, the water would move as well. The kit does come with sponges on both sides of the colors, but I haven't used them yet (not really sure when to use it). They look like cheap sponge that you could probably easily replace. You can easily pull them out the little trays. Cleanup is super easy. I usually run the plastic detachable mixing palette under water for a few seconds, then use paper to wipe the rest off. It comes out really clean. Of course, if you leave it to dry for a long time and then clean it off, expect some struggle. I am just in love with the brush. The brush is freaking awesome, and the brush fibers are amazing. All in all, I really like this cute, compact watercoloring kit. I'm glad I made this purchase :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - tumuarta Watercolor Journal, 3.5x5.5”, 140 LB, 300 GSM, Cotton Paper, Cold Press, 24 Sheets, 48 Pages, Watercolor Sketchbooks for Use As Travel Notebook Mixed Media Pad On The Go - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/908698-sakura-koi-pocket-field-sketch-kit-watercolor-sets-for-painting](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/908698-sakura-koi-pocket-field-sketch-kit-watercolor-sets-for-painting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
