I still believe everything I wrote below! Believe or not, I still have this same watercolor set because I find the size, set up, and thumb hold convenient to use. I’ll squeeze different watercolors on to the palette and still occasionally use the old, crusty pans from the OG set (I’ve replaced some). This a great set for students and beginner water color hobbyist of any age. I genuinely feel getting this and using it to explore this medium and practice more art in general lead me to becoming a professional artist with how often I’d take it out to use. Having used other brands now like Winsor & Newton, Holbein, etc, these watercolors can be “chalky” and not very pigmented compared to higher grade watercolors (obviously). The pigments can just sit there and not blend/bleed, but for it’s intended use for students/beginners or even people needing a larger palette set for on the go plain air painting, it’s reliable and great. Original Review: I was really interested in a pan watercolor set and something convenient to lug around places when I bought this. One of my favorite artists at the time had one of these so I decided I'd try watercolors out! I haven't regretted the decision. :) I really love this set! I've had this for about three years now and I use it for almost all of my watercolor pieces. It's been with me my entire watercolor art journey. It has lasted a pretty long time (that or I don't watercolor as much as I should), and I've only hit the bottom on a few colors. The packaging is great and I'll keep it long after I run out of its original pants (I'll probably order some tube watercolors to fill up the empty squares). The provided palette is wonderful! I sometimes end up using the back of the palette/the lid of the container for additional space, usually because I get lazy about cleaning it, but that's great too! The brush pen is pretty good for on the go, but I usually use my own brushes for detail work/more "serious" pieces. I also kinda messed up the brush when I went to go clean it this one time and it leaks too much water for me to do anything but washes now. I've been meaning to order another one, but I just haven't gotten around to doing it. Color/pigmentation wise, I'll have to update this review when I try more watercolor brands. I only have experience with this so I can't compare it to anything else. Though I can speculate that it's might not be the BEST quality compared to other higher end brands just because it's a watercolor set and probably has it's fair amount of filler in some of the colors. The art supplies don't make the artist though because I've made pretty decent stuff with this and I've seen amazing artist make great work with this too. I can't recommend this enough! It's amazing for beginners/advanced artists/whoever because it's super convenient and has plenty of color choices! Though if anything, if you're a beginner, you might not need all 24 colors. They sell a smaller set with 12 colors which might be ideal if you're starting out so you don't get overwhelmed with color choices and mix muddy colors (something I did a lot of lol). (included art done with this set! some stuff ordered from when i first got it (2013) to now (2016)) Review: This portable set got me interested in watercolor painting .. great for beginners and for outdoor sketching - Please note: The 5 star rating is for the good color options and the convenience of a portable watercolor kit for painting on the go - and from the prospective of someone very new to using watercolors. I joined an outdoor sketching group over a year ago. Painting outside presented several challenges for me and my initial attempts were frustrated by the difficulty in juggling brushes, paints, a water bottle- all while holding onto the sketchbook and trying to draw in it! After I discovered water brushes and stumbled on this Koi Sakura portable watercolor set, I was finally able to get down to the business of painting. At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like watercolor as a medium and didn't want to spend too much. At less than $25 for the color range and portability, I felt I couldn't go wrong buying this set. At that time, I also purchased the Cotman 14-color watercolor set but didn't like the flimsy-feeling palette and the paints kept falling out. I needed something easier to manage. This 24-color set had all the shades I needed with a few colors I don't even use. It folds up neatly into a small, square box that fits into my shoulder bag. The colors are strong and more on the opaque side - which was my preference, initially. The problem I did have with the Sakura paints is that mixing colors created muddy results. I read somewhere to not mix more than 2 colors together if not using single pigmented watercolor brands. These are beginner/student quality but are much better than the retail store stuff that's all chalk and barely produces any color. I've only used the included brush a few times early on. It was too much work to take off the plug and then attach the brush end to the barrel (and then dismantle in reverse after I was done). Instead, I bought several other fuller length water brushes. I like the Niji, Kuretake and Pentel Aquash brushes and have used Derwent ones as well. I just store the other water brushes (won't fit the Sakura case) with my drawing pens and pencils that I bring along with me, in a pencil pouch. Now I'm ready for better quality paints and the price difference is considerable. I plan to keep this Koi set because the box is sturdy and well-made. I can replace the paints with better watercolors once I decide which to get. I've tried the Prima Marketing paints and was impressed with the color clarity and how more translucent they are compared to the Koi brand. I suppose this is part of the learning -- knowing what good paints look like on paper and what they can do! ## Features - Creative Holiday Gift: The Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit is a great Christmas gift for artists, offering a portable watercolor set that makes a great holiday craft kit or gift set for crafters - Create On the Go: The 9 mL water brush with a medium tip allows you to transport and store water, letting you paint everywhere - Beautiful Paint Colors: This watercolor paint set includes 24 vibrant, assorted watercolor cakes - Mix Vibrant Watercolors: Contains a plastic palette for mixing colors; use dabbing sponge for artistic effects - Gorgeous Watercolors at Your Fingertips: Sakura watercolor paints are the highest quality to aid your creativity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001OVG40E | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range (Description) | Teen | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,823 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #199 in Art Paints | | Brand | SAKURA | | Brand Name | SAKURA | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,336 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00084511388956 | | Included Components | Palette, Sponge, Waterbrush | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 4.63 x 1.25 inches | | Item Type Name | Koi Watercolor Kit | | Item Weight | 120 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 8 x 4.63 x 1.25 inches | | Manufacturer | Sakura of America | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_XNCW24N | | Material | Nylon | | Material Type | Nylon | | Model Name | FBA_XNCW24N | | Model Number | XNCW-24N | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Product Style | 24 Color Set | | Size | 2 Fl Oz (24 Count) | | Theme | Video Game | | UPC | 885348796712 789322634215 885325220117 885700668428 885920835761 885198745045 885238907419 885335225461 885388864785 885493283075 084511388956 | | Unit Count | 24.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SAKURA - **Color:** Multicolor - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Item Volume:** 2 Fluid Ounces - **Paint Type:** Watercolor - **Size:** 1 Count (Pack of 24) - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Specific Uses For Product:** Arts and Crafts Projects, Outdoor Use - **Surface Recommendation:** Multisurface - **Unit Count:** 24.0 Count ## Images ![SAKURA XNCW-24N, 24 Assorted Watercolors Field Sketch Set with Brush - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PttPV9r2L.jpg) ![SAKURA XNCW-24N, 24 Assorted Watercolors Field Sketch Set with Brush - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41d+34OhW2L.jpg) ![SAKURA XNCW-24N, 24 Assorted Watercolors Field Sketch Set with Brush - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512D3TnGSrL.jpg) ![SAKURA XNCW-24N, 24 Assorted Watercolors Field Sketch Set with Brush - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719ja522++L.jpg) ![SAKURA XNCW-24N, 24 Assorted Watercolors Field Sketch Set with Brush - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j+QF+mVRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite thing! *by A***C on February 16, 2016* Edit: This is almost 10+ years in the making but i was looking through old reviews and saw that I said I’d update once I’ve tried more watercolors and now as a professional artist/illustrator (vs. as a recent high school grad who had dreams of making art for a living) I have a bit more to say.

It's super compact, so I could definitely see myself carrying this around. Because this is my first watercolor kit, I don't have much experience - like knowing what makes a kit good or bad, if the watercolors are good quality, etc. But I will say that the colors are super, super pigmented. I will update this review with a photo of a painting I did. And the brush is absolutely awesome. I literally squeeze it like 2-3 times and the entire color will be gone from the brush tip. It's insane. The first time I used this I was worried about the durability of this brush, and how it would control the amount of water when I squeeze, but it's brilliant. Solid control, and easy to use. I believe it makes watercoloring easy for complete beginners who have no understanding on how to control on water. I definitely feel like as I experimented with this, the ease I felt was because of this amazing brush. All you do is fill the inside with water, and turn the actual brush-tip part on. Voila! It's connected, and will not leak. Also, on the back of the box shown in the product image, there are instructions that you can put a little canvas or paper on the inside of the lid (so once you open the box, the lid will be flat) when you paint. Like they're trying to sell that it's also an easel or something. This doesn't work for me because 1) my paper is massive and 2) It wouldn't be very balanced anyway, because the paper would shift around on the plastic. I don't think this would be a problem for a lot of people because we would all be using pretty big pieces of paper, but just letting you know. It doesn't work for me, and I don't see how this would be that great, because I feel like it would slide around, or if you accidentally moved the entire kit, the water would move as well. The kit does come with sponges on both sides of the colors, but I haven't used them yet (not really sure when to use it). They look like cheap sponge that you could probably easily replace. You can easily pull them out the little trays. Cleanup is super easy. I usually run the plastic detachable mixing palette under water for a few seconds, then use paper to wipe the rest off. It comes out really clean. Of course, if you leave it to dry for a long time and then clean it off, expect some struggle. I am just in love with the brush. The brush is freaking awesome, and the brush fibers are amazing. All in all, I really like this cute, compact watercoloring kit. I'm glad I made this purchase :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Kit - Watercolor Sets for Painting On the Go - 24 Colors - 1 Water Brush - 1 Sponge - 1 Mixing Palette - tumuarta Watercolor Journal, 3.5x5.5”, 140 LB, 300 GSM, Cotton Paper, Cold Press, 24 Sheets, 48 Pages, Watercolor Sketchbooks for Use As Travel Notebook Mixed Media Pad On The Go - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/908698-sakura-xncw-24n-24-assorted-watercolors-field-sketch-set-brush](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/908698-sakura-xncw-24n-24-assorted-watercolors-field-sketch-set-brush) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
