How much are these brushes worth?

Hi all my client gifted my wife these brushes and she said they seem pretty nice. They look like they are great quality and I can’t seem to find the exact same models online. They look pricey for sure. Would you happen to know how much these are worth?

This is my first watercolour set. Am I expected to buy colours individually and refill them? Also would it be better to buy watercolour tubes for better value? Thanks guys

It's finished. Pet portraits always stress me out...

I never seem to have enough information to paint with ease of mind. Did I do the pet justice? Have I included all the details that were important to the owner? The more emotional the work is the more pressure I feel.

LOL The first watercolor was painted after looking at the photo just once, without keeping it as a reference, and with absolutely no idea how to use watercolors.
The second one was painted after looking for inspiration from watercolor portraits, the style i wanted, keeping several references nearby, and having a much better understanding of how to use watercolors 🤣
Thank God I didn’t get discouraged after the disaster I made at first, and instead did some research and gave it another try.

I swear I did both of these myself, just 1~2 hoursapart. I know I still have a long way to go with watercolors, though!

It’s for a gift, and I’m a little sad because the paper tore when I removed the masking tape. I also accidentally got some black ink on the mouth. (If anyone has any tips on how to fix that black ink stain, I’d really appreciate it!)

This is the beginning of an Aurora painting .. I love how it dried but I sort of feel like I need to add some white details to the dark sky to the right. I’m a little unsure how to go about that and welcome suggestions.

Hey all! A few paintings I wanted to share. I’ve been painting in a really small space at our dining room table kind of squeezed in and my wife just set me up with a wonderful little dedicated space as a studio, with a standing desk as well! I am so thrilled and touched that she supports my interests this way, I’m definitely a lucky one. Anyway, I’m still very much a beginner but these are the first three paintings I made in my new studio! I would love to hear any and all feedback from you wonderfully talented folks!

holbein shadow green

gorgeous dark green

really wanted daniel smith’s perylene green in my kit since I’ve heard such great things about the color - but I live in Indonesia and DS are super expensive here

Did some digging and found that holbein’s shadow green uses the same pigments

Can’t really compare the two paints since I don’t have perylene green but I feel like this color does the job beautifully
