Cheap Paint =Good? Camel Artist Watercolor from India Review (Camlin Kokuyo Watercolor Review)

Today we are going to look at a very affordable set of watercolors. I have been requested to review these paints for years. They are very popular in India but hard to find elsewhere in the world until now. As soon as I saw them for sale on Amazon I bought a set to try out. I purchased the set of small 5ml tubes in a set of 24: https://amzn.to/3iDBZwM They have a set of 12 large 20ml tubes https://amzn.to/2Ky1fI9 And an 18 color set of 9ml tubes: https://amzn.to/2Ybrx6l *I recommend looking at the different options because it might be a better deal to get larger tubes of fewer colors depending on the colors you use most. Here are the swatch stamps I use: https://amzn.to/3cwqh64 https://amzn.to/36yo06p Pros: *Price (between .07 and .11 cents per ml) *Nice flow *Very transparent *Glazes/layers well *Dries down well in a palette with no cracking *Lightfast ratings are provided on tubes A=absolutely permanent, B=permanent (apparently there is a C=moderately permanent but my set did not contain any of those colors) *These are a joy to paint with, comparable to a western watercolor such as Winsor & Newton in performance Cons: *No pigment info *Strong chemical smell when used wet from the tube. (This might be due to use a cheaper resin to bind the paint or some sort of additive to prevent spoilage) If left to dry down in an open palette the smell dissipates and I didn't notice the odor when I added water to the paints a week later. Bottom line: You really can't beat this paint for the price. Like I mentioned the fresh paint smell was really strong to me so I recommend squeezing them in a palette and letting them dry down before using them. I'm not willing to trust lightfastness ratings myself without knowing the pigment info so I will be using these in sketchbooks or for non permeant work but that's me, you can decide for yourself or swatch them out and do your own lightfast test. I don't usually do that myself as I live in the north and don't get enough sun to do a trustworthy test. These would also be a good set for a student as they get a quality experience painting with these. If the price stays low (around $20 for a set) I'd recommend them! #thefrugalcrafter #watercolor #art Want more inspiration?
