Today’s
blog is product review of Sakura Koi water colors pocket field sketch box
with 12 half pan water colour. The
watercolour set comes in a compact field box with twelve half pan colours
especially built in the compact design for easy of carry and use n field. The
product is made as much as conveniently for field use. Package comprises of
twelve half pan colours cake and one water brush and one sponge. The box
measures around 3.5 “ by 4” when closed.
Colours:
the colours included in the box are –
2. Lemon yellow
3. Permanent yellow deep
4. Vermillion
5. Crimson lake
6. Prussian blue
7. Cobalt blue
8. Viridian green
9. Permanent green pale
10. Yellow ochre
11. Light red
12. Ivory Black
The
ultramarine blue is surprisingly missing in the box. Otherwise the colour set
more or less completes the basic watercolour painting requirement.
As
already said the pans are half meaning they are quite small. For a landing
price of 780 INR this seems to be costly. But the colour quality looks good at
first use. The look bright and the colours appear as they should.
The
box: The box is designed to be used as a mini palate when opened. This is
pretty helpful while painting on the go as it do not require an extra palate to
be carried. However the space is limited which is quite obvious considering the
package size.
The
box quality is quite good and material and closure all are neat.
Brush:
The box comes with a 4 ml refillable water brush. Minimum assembly is required
to get the brush into action. When assembled, the brush size is around 4-5 inch
in length and around 1/3rd inch dia at maximum. Unlike the normal
brush for water colour this holds its own water in the refill. The water comes
to the brush for painting a wash or so when a light pressure is applied to its
water barrel. The flexibility of a set of water colour brush is lost but it is
to be kept in mind that the set is made for field use with minimum accessories
to be carried and the set fulfills the purpose.
Sponge: A sponge is also included in the box
for dabbing if and when required thus avoiding any need to carry any other
material along with the box to carry out a painting on the go or in the field.
In
conclusion the box is very compact to serve the purpose it is made for and
though not as much convenient as a studio set up, it meets the basic purpose of
water colouring on the go without need to carry any extra material.
