Hi friends! Today we are going to look at the new Paul Rubens Gucai watercolor metallic paint and paper combo: https://amzn.to/3tpNDBP

*several people asked about the fine mist water spray bottle, here it is: https://amzn.to/3FtoTgY it's very affordable and works great!

Pros:
Size of pan (large Japanese gansai style)
Price
Easy to rewet
Lovely color variety
Variety of shimmer form pearl, metallic to glitter
Pans can be taken out of the palette easy to paint with without taking up lots of space or sharing in a classroom

Cons:
Pans will probably use up quickly due to their ease of resetting
Large footprint

How do they compare to the Metallic half pan set by Paul Rubens? These are less expensive than the half pan version but are also less dense so they probably won't last as long. They are not different enough to need both. I'd choose the format you prefer. I use the 24 half pan set the most (24 set here: https://amzn.to/3vGNs6V ) myself and that is what I recommend. That said the gucai set is cheaper per color and you might prefer the larger pan so pick what is right for you.
