Colors are finely granulated, but a bit more gritty than their Paul Rubens counterparts.If you're paying the $20 Amazon price, I definitely think these are worth $20 so far, they're alright for $45, but that's encroaching on Paul Rubens price territory. The Mud Test: Day 2, Layer 2 Spritzed with water to activate Some really interesting granulation with these colors, similar to the Paul Rubens tubes. Nice. These colors do dry far less intense than their Paul Rubens counterparts, but I didn't notice much if any color reactivation. So far, it seems like these don't turn to mud, which is my biggest complaint with more opaque watercolors. Mud Test, Layer Three Spritzed with water to activate. Surprising and impressive amount of granulation with these paints. Paints seem to layer, rather than turn to mud, which is wonderful and surprising from paints that I assume are student grade. MeiLiang wrap up One of the half pans fell out and it definitely seems like an extruded paint, not a poured paint. If anyone has videos if their manufacturing process though, please send them my way!
