Update:
So I've now got my hands on a couple of things, so I thought I'd update this to let you know what I thought!

So starting with the canvases, they're great quality and I'm really looking forward to getting started with them. I can't think of anywhere else you're going to get 3 for anywhere near this price.

The storage box is a lifesaver for my desk, I now have somewhere to stash away all the things I'm not using rather than having them constantly scattered across the table. I also love the fold out side on the lid that lets you slide in paintbrushes with ease... such a little addition that makes a huge difference.

Then there's the pencils.. which I love. They are really high quality and so nice to use. They pack the perfect amount of pigment but can be blended out nicely. I'm enjoyed playing around with them a little and they've fast become my go-to when I'm working with colour!
