Received my order and I love it
Received my order and I love it. If you want to learn how to do watercolor, this kit is great. Get the Beginner’s workbook. It has faint images you can practice on. Customer service is the best I’ve ever experienced. I got responses within 30 minutes. The response is not canned either, it is specific to your question. Loving everything about this company!

Beginner Friendly
I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone interested in learning watercolors. I have the Watercolor Set plus the Beginners Watercolor Workbook and the whole thing is just very friendly to beginners like me. The Beginners Workbook has cute and easy "sketches" printed on every other page and the empty pages in between are great for technique practice. The QR code on the instructions leads to an online "tutorial" kind of file and it includes even more tips and techniques that also really helped me. I am obsessed with it and have already spent hours on the Beginner Workbook and a Blank Workbook. Overall very convenient and small enough to travel with. Highly recommend!!

Such A Joy To Use
Such a joy to use! Totally gets the habit of painting sticking in an easy to approach way. As a professional working artist, this is a great way to unwind and get off the computer screen. I got one for my girlfriend and she loves it too. Here’s to making more wonderful artwork together!
My only critique would be that the brushes and pen in the kit could be even smaller so everything always fits with the sketchbook. Just easier for grab and go. I use my wristband to bundle it altogether, but a well designed solution would be rad. And something to store the paints in like a bag. I use a sock bag and it works perfectly.Nathan B

I have always wanted to paint
I have always wanted to paint. Before this the only painting was walls of an appartment (early marraige I am now 78 years old) It worked this kit and the beginner book did it for me. I am now having fun learning to paint.

OUR FOUNDER
I’m a painter who loves capturing the little things through pretty watercolor. My husband Gonzalo and I do our best to select high quality materials that I would love using myself.

Founder, Tobio'sFirst attempt. Very relaxing. Hardest part was to pick which one to start with. I chose cheesecake and coffee.
I figured cheesecake and coffee in any shape or form is awesome 😃
I haven’t started on the Autumn book as yet, but am looking forward to it.
Love the variety in it. I’ve just completed a couple in the beginners book. Very relaxing. Enjoy
Love it! It’s been very convenient when I’m out and about with friends or family and we have nothing to do in the moment!
I love the beginners workbook. I can focus on getting used to the medium, and get a pretty result. Makes it fun and relaxing.
I had taken drafting, but never painted or sketched or really did anything artistic. This kit got me to put paint on paper. The outlines allowed me to focus on techniques and learn how to paint, instead of staring at a blank page. It gave me the confidence to start.
Its so lovely. The paints were so well sealed couldn’t get into many of them. Hehe.
I used the kit and one of the extra brushed I purchased while sons on some separate paper painted with the kits and other brushes. It was a perfect use of time and size for our camping weekend we were just on.
I truly recommend.
Not only does it look fun, but it actually is fun! To dip the brush in the paint and put it on paper - I'm learning because I don't use enough water for watercolor painting, so that's a good thing, I'm learning! Thank You, Tobio's❣️ Also I did not need to contact customer service this time but I know from previous experiences (with printer delays and shipping) that Customer Service is taken very seriously at Tobio's! It is top-notch, first rate, an excellent team environment.
Amazing and fun set! I bought one for my son (27) who reports that he loves it and it brings him 10-15 minutes of joy every day, and another for my sister who is going thru chemo right now. She says it is the perfect activity to do during her infusions and it is so easy and portable and it brings her peace and calm during treatments.
