We enjoyed working with the SEOU Design Set during the test. The paint set is suitable for everyone. The advantage here is the huge selection of colors and the many possible uses. However, you have to be careful not to drip anything that could end up on the floor or clothing. It might be advisable to include a pair of gloves.
