3. The kit that I bought you had to mix some of the colors yourself, using the paints provided.

They didn't even give you extra bins to mix them in. You had to guess how much of a color to mix up & hope you mixed enough & also that you had enough of the original color left to mix with other colors or to use on its own. I put it all back in the box & gave it to a thrift shop. Now I paint my own paintings. They're bad, but they're original.
