Shuttle Art SA WP48 Watercolor Paint Set 48 Colors with 3 Brushes

48-colour watercolour pan set

The Shuttle Art SA WP48 watercolour set supplies 48 solid pans and three water brushes in a portable plastic case. It is intended for beginners, hobbyists and artists who want a wide colour range for painting, journaling or calligraphy practice. The case cover doubles as a mixing palette and the whole kit weighs 0.34 kilograms.

Capacity and mixing headroom

Forty-eight assorted colours give enough variety for layered washes, illustration work and colour experimentation. The water-based pigment dissolves quickly and blends to extend the palette further, though the set contains only eight distinct hues that repeat across the pans. Opaque coverage is adequate and dries to a matte finish. It is not suited for buyers who need lightfast ratings, single-pigment colours or larger pan volumes for heavy studio use.

Build integration and portability

The lightweight plastic box fits in a backpack or desk drawer and the removable lid serves as a mixing surface, freeing the user from carrying a separate palette. Three included water brushes mean no extra tools are required for immediate painting. The formulation conforms to ASTM D-4236 and EN71-3 safety standards and is acid-free. It does not meet the needs of artists who require professional-grade lightfastness, tube-format paint or water-resistant dried films.
