This is one of the few paint sets I’ve come across that is specific to oil paints. I’ve used Meeden oils before and they are creamy and the colors are consistent pigments. This set includes a few things others don’t:- Metal brush stand for brushes in use so that paint can stay on brush until that color mix needed again (brush cleaner for oil paints should be purchased separately,- Paint colors for most color palettes, although I recommend also adding a Raw Sienna paint color to cover most needs; they include 2 tubes of white which is helpful, and the paint tubes are large so no need to worry about running out quickly,- The disposable palette sheets are WONDERFUL. They make cleaning up so much easier and I’ve also save them and write next to the colors which colors I mixed to get that color –it’s a great reference for recreating color mixes, especially if I have to stop painting and come back days later and have to recreate the same color blends- The brushes are good for oils and it’s rare when I’ve had to trim stray bristles.- The wrapped canvases, canvas boards, and canvas sheets are the perfect mix to set up for oil painting—they’re all useful.- The portable easel is nice wood and completely adjustable to any surface, height, and uneven surfaces; it’s not only a storage box but it’s also meant for transporting to paint on location. It also makes a good additional desktop easel as needed.Of all the complete paint sets, This is by far the most complete beginning oil paint sets and provides 95% of supplies and tools needed to start with oil paints with decent quality materials, and that’s definitely increases the likelihood of good results.*** Helpful?
