Every artist needs storage space for paints, brushes, pencils and more. So we get kits for the studio and we get portable boxes for outdoor painting and traveling. And being an artist you want that box or kit to look artistic and professional. That is why I recommend you take a look at the 80-Piece Royal & Langnickel Premier Painting Chest Deluxe Art Set! This wooden chest comes filled with paints and brushes and oils and more, which makes a nice gift or additional for the artist at any level.

Actual Customer Comment: The Royal & Langnickel Premier Painting Chest Deluxe Art Set really is as nice as it looks in the pictures.

The chest itself is attractive dark wood with brass tone fittings. It’s fairly solid – although it may not be built for the ages, it doesn’t feel flimsy either. There is a drop panel in the front that hides two storage drawers. When using the chest on a table, the front panel is positioned in such a way that the bottom drawer is slightly impeded, but a bit of fiddling will allow you to open and fully extend the bottom drawer.

Included inside are a variety of paints – oils, acrylics, and water colors (both tubes and cakes). The paints are fresh; the texture and consistency are pleasant and easy to apply. The colors are good with rich pigments.

Actual Customer Comment: Great gift for an artist. Made my daughter cry with happiness.
