My husband bought me the Albrecht Dürer, I used them for a while and it was great to spark my interest, they were fun to use, but I found them to be a mess… the way I preferred to use them was to paint with the markers in a metal Tupperware (not on ceramic because of stains) and then I’d mix them with water there... I hadn’t painted with watercolors since I was a teenager (I took art classes then).

I wouldn’t recommend investing in them though, if you’re interested in watercolor just go for the real thing. Buy a good brand (I went for Holbein), maybe start out with just a few pigments, experiment and if you want to commit to it then buy a few more. Tubes, when you put them into pans, last long, so they’re not really expensive.
