I love how they look too. I've never used/thought about using them - is it expensive? Messy?

Only messy when your cat jumps on the palette, right Lingon? If you do decide to dabble, the quality of the tools and supplies matters a great deal in the quality of the final picture. But it is worth it... very much so. You can mimic the look of watercolors in a digital format, but the traditional medium is precious, I think, in a way that you can't mimic with pixels and printers.
