Peace and love, creatives—today I’m testing out these SUPERIOR opaque watercolors in gray tones that I grabbed off AliExpress for $24. I kept seeing what looked like the same set on Amazon under a different brand name (FUUMUUI), and the price was way higher—around $38 at the time, and I’ve even seen it hit $45. So I wanted to see for myself if the cheaper set was actually comparable, or if it was one of those “looks the same but isn’t” situations. My honest takeaway: I really like them. They’re awesome, and to me they feel like very “thirsty” paints—so you’ll want a palette where you can dilute and control them easily. You can absolutely use them straight off the pan too, but if you do, keep it consistent because they can have a bit of shine when used that way. And just my opinion (do your research): I think these are basically the same as the Amazon version, since SUPERIOR is known for white-label paints. Either way, they’re fun, and I genuinely think you’ll have a great time painting with them.
