Le Jardin du Moulin - Watercolour Set

Twenty-four watercolour pans in a beautiful little metal tin, a brush with its own built-in water reservoir, a sponge, and a lid that opens out into a mixing palette. It is, in short, everything needed to sit outside on a warm afternoon and paint the garden, the flowers, the cat, whatever is in front of them, without any fussing around finding a water pot or the right brush. Moulin Roty have thought of everything here, and the result is a set that feels genuinely grown-up and considered without being at all precious about it.

We love it because:

• Twenty-four colours is a proper range, vibrant and varied, with plenty of scope for mixing on the built-in palette
• The brush with a built-in water reservoir is a small but genuinely brilliant detail: no water pot to knock over, no wet sleeve, no drama
• The metal tin is beautiful, sturdy and compact enough to take anywhere: the garden, a picnic, a grandparent's house, a long journey
• The lid doubles as a mixing palette, so the whole thing is completely self-contained and ready to go
• Feels like a real artist's kit, which children respond to in the best possible way
• In the gorgeous "Le Jardin du Moulin" style, it makes a lovely gift straight out of the box
