ARTEZA Gouache Paint, 60 Colors, 12ml, 0.4 US fl oz Tubes, Water-Based Paint for Canvas and Paper, Art Supplies for Professionals, Students, and Kids

I like most of the colors, though there are a couple that are garish that Ill never use, and also theres a number of pearlescent and metallic colors that I am unlikely to use (I like gouache partly because it is matt and photographs well.) These arent as high quality as m. graham (which are a delight to use). Mostly its apparent in the texture and ease of application, but also the pigment load is slightly less too. But for the price its ok. I do wish that there werent 12 tubes of pearlescent/metallic colors that I wont use. Also It would be nice to be able to replace colors I use a lot with a single tube rather than a whole set. I will probably stick to the basic 24 tube pack in the future.

My daughter needed this paint for one of her college classes. Easy to use, blends well and looks professional.

These pieces gave me the ideal opportunity to try out Arteza Gouache. There was very little mixing to get colors that were close to the original manuscript and the paints came out of the tube smooth and creamy with very little prep needed and none of the oil you sometimes get. It wasnt grainy either! I was able to set up a traveling palette and only a few crumbled and broke and those were the orange, dark purple and black, they paints rehydrated with quickly and evenly. I still prefer a different gold, silver and bronze they needed multiple layers. The paint flowed smoothly from the brush and took highlights and shading like a dream. I would highly recommend these paints to an artist just starting out as a quality, inexpensive starter set.

I love all of the products I buy. I am 80 and wish I could buy more. Lol

Coming from a beginner with guache this paint is pretty decent. Pros: - color selection - rich, vibrant colors -pearl colors are really beautiful - paint layed down pretty smooth and dried to a matte finish. -a little goes a long way - gives you two white colors which is great for mixing. Cons - some of the colors are a bit transparent , even the ones that are marked opaque. This is most prominent when laying a lighter color over a darker color (ex. Black). This can be remedied by adding less water or a second layer. - pearl colors are beautiful but did not lay well over darker colors. - not many skin shades in this kit so be ready to mix colors.

Would love bigger tubes

Vibrant fantastic colors. So glad it came with 12 metalícese colors as well!. Greate opaques to compliment the Areza watercolors as well!

These are great. Good opaque gouache at a reasonable price. Great customer service for a problem with the set was handled in a timely manner and exceeded my expectations.

I LOVE these paints. When they first came, they were in these plastic deviders and each one was a cute color palette. (The first pic, each row of 5 was one of the pre made color palettes. Was the same order that came in the box) the paints are in generous 12 mil tubes and has pigment info and lightfastness. Their are some single pigment colors but all the colors are made from 18 different pigments so i dont recommend too much mixing. If you want to put them in pans, they dont crack too much however i found I prefer to use them out of the tube as i like the consistency better. But I definitely recommend these because they are nice and opaque and you dont have to use a ton to get even coverage. Its oveRall a really fun set.also, this set includes all 12 metalic colors.

Having so much fun with these. You get so many vibrant colors, all sorted into nice color families. Highly recommended!
