My Granddaughter wanted an "art kit" for her birthday and this fit the bill. She loved it and used it right away. Just about averting she will need a a beginner is in it....Very pleased with my purchase...Great art kit!!! It has an abundance of brushes and accessories to meet the painting needs of my two children. The art supplies also have a very convenient carrying handle that allows my children to go outdoors and paint. I love it!!!I bought the painting kit for my 5 year old son and on weekends his father paints with him. They father and son both especially enjoy the parent-child time.Purchased for my grandson. He loves to draw and I am willing to buy him something that he can use to be creative, creativity is endless. I am very happy with this art set and would gladly recommend!Great price and value. Love that the marker is washable!!! My grandson is six and he loves to draw on the walls the washable markers take the worry out of cleaning the walls.I bought a painting kit for myself, rich brushes, childlike appearance design, so I can forget about the stress brought by work, let me feel back to childhood.I bought it for my nephews's birthday, he's in New York. I didn't see the actual product. When I videoed with him, he said he was very love art kit and his friends liked it.Because my son helped me clean up the yard together, I bought he the black art kit as a reward. when he opened it he exclaimed "this is just what I wanted!"
