Value wise - cant complain, the individual cost of this paint (over £4 per pot), means buying the set is saving by itself (10 paints included). Bit odd that this did not include black or white paint however, meaning you can't mix the colours (for example I wanted a pale pink)- I ended up buying those seperately which defeats the purpose of a starter set. Also you are completely left to your own devices, a little bit of a guidance booklet, with a few suggestions would not have gone amiss. I'll have to buy that seperately as well. Overall, still pleased with the value aspect - just wish a bit more though had gone into what would be useful for a complete beginner.
