I am so amazed at how pigmented these amazing blue/greens are!! Absolutely in love!

I absolutely love these iridescent colours! They activate really quick and are super shimmer and shine. I now think of every excuse to use these in my paintings. I have actually ordered the half pan set cause these mini pans won’t last me long at the rate I am using them !

My collection started with the primaries, which you can use to mix over a hundred other colours. There was really no need for me to get any of the other colours after that but I built up my collection over time because these paints are so beautiful with incredibly pigmented and vibrant colours where a little goes a very long way so each half-pan will last quite a while which makes it well worth the price. They arrive well-packaged (eco-friendly) and personalised, plus Emma is always super helpful. Definitely my favourite handmade paints.

I don't often use shimmery paints so the mini-pan set is the perfect size to have them in my paint collection for when I do want to add shimmer to my paintings. They re-wet and activate easily with beautiful vibrancy. They are also very pigmented so the mini-pans will last a long time.

Vibrant colour palate. I have used the Windsor Newton/ Art Spectrum, just came across Emma's Instagram and I wanted to support local small businesses. I have ordered the mini set. Certainly not disappointed! These colours go looooong way. Excellent quality. Will be ordering the bigger set.

So I was never intending to become a limited palette enthusiast. BUT I was getting frustrated with how the colours in my work just didn't feel like it was jiving. So when I stumbled across Emma's Colour Theory, I figured I had nothing to lose. I bought the paints, did the course, and OMG I am a convert. Aside from colours I find too difficult to mix, I don't plan to ever expand on this perfect trio.
Also, these colours are SO pigmented... It puts my former Winsor Newton pro pigments to absolute shame. They're beautiful and smooth and an absolute joy to use.

These paints are so beautiful! They wet so easily, are so smooth to paint with and the colours are amazing. I wanted to create a minimalist mixing palette for when I'm out and about and these are perfect. Can't wait to come back and shop for some other colours for my bigger palette.

These paints are just beautiful! They come beautifully presented and are a dream to paint with. They wet so easily and are really nice quality. This neutral palette has perfectly filled in some gaps in my watercolour collection, and are all colours that come in handy constantly. I love that the website provides all the pigment info too. I will be back!

I dont know much about watercolours only just recently got into it! I started off with cotman and then schminke. But this ones are the best!! Cant go back! I want more! Should get more!! Love them!

Such a beautiful combination of colors - perfect for landscapes and seaside scenes! (Am loving the mini- pans! I have dedicated most of a palette tin to my half-pan and mini-pans from The Watercolour Factory. I'm pretty sure at some point, I will have a full palette dedicated to TWF exclusively!) I also have the Iridescent Quad mini's as well as the Ocean and the Floral. This is truly the way to go when trying to decide upon favorite colors. More than enough paint to explore the possibilities and mixing options, and so much more satisfying than 'dots'. Emma's paints are everything they profess to be, and then some! A little really does go a long way, and they are superb!

First time I bought watercolour pans here and I will certainly do it again! It’s fast delivery, great packaging and tips inside and the colours are beautiful!

Just wow! Loving the primary palette... the pigment is soo vibrant and how well they blend into more gorgeous colours. I'm really enjoying working with your product.


I ordered this Mini-pallete along with the Florals, and my gosh are they beautiful! The blues in this pallete are all very intense, with the exception of Iceberg, which is a very lovely, soft color. And I love Seashell (I already have a half-pan of it, so I'll be well stocked now). These Mini-pans are really a great way to try out Emma's fabulous paints. So much better than just getting 'dots'. And these should last me long enough to really get a feel for the colors and how they fit into my preferred painting style.

I was so thrilled when I received my mini-floral palette! The colors are even more beautiful than they appear here. Have not yet had the opportunity to really use them yet, but even in just doing my swatches, I was amazed at the vibrancy! Hope to get back to painting soon!
