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

Theses paints are amazing! I would definitely recommend for beginners! I would say is that if you dont want the drawing to have paint bumps, then this isnt for you. But, if you dont mind then I greatly recommend it! Hopefully this is helpful! Also here two drawings I did with theses paints! I think they came out good-!

These are interesting. I am only a couple of years into exploring gouache as a hobby painter, but historically, I have used WN, Mark Graham, Reeves, and then some acryclic gouache. What initially intrigued me, was the number of colors available and figured I would give them a shot, since gouache isnt cheap. They are pretty decent. But I have noticed a couple of things Im not crazy about: 1. They dry out quickly. 2. Some colors dry and become very chalky 3. I have had several of the tubes split and have the paint begin to leak out the sides. Ballerina pink is no longer able to be unscrewed-- i just squeeze it out of the side of the tube. 4. They dont re-wet easily after drying on the palette. On the positive: 1. They have a very large range of colors and I love the neutral gray tones, the ultra bright peach-red, etc. 2. I dont feel bad exploring with these like I do with my more expensive gouache. 3. They really are more than enough quality-wise for absolute beginners, even beyond beginners.

Bought these for my daughter and she loved them. She found them much better than a previous $10 set she got, theyre bright, less chalky, blendable. The wide range of colors is great for someone starting out that might not know color theory or be very good at mixing colors on your own. Although, these do mix well too if you want to adjust colors. Definitely worth the bit of extra price, but still a very affordable great student grade paints.

These are not acrylic paints! Theyre water based, but the whole set FLAT paint! I should have looked up the word GOUACHE. So I am at fault. Dont get me wrong the paint texture and color is very good, but there is no shine to them whatsoever.

I put these colors in an air-tight palette. They molded after a couple days (before I had gotten a chance to use them.) I cleaned the mold out and set them aside, came back 3 days later and the same colors had molded again. Disgusting. And, too late for me return.

I bought it for my niece and this is what she painted. She really liked the colors and was quite impressed

I’m a beginner and I’ve done a fair amount of research. I am by no means a professional. Compared to Artist’s Loft, this product is a winner. The colors are awesome, easy to blend, versatile, & can easily be mixed with other colors to find the hue you’re wishing to use if it didn’t already come in the box of 60. Definitely happy with this purchase. The tubes are definitely smaller in size, but sometimes a little goes a long way!

Ive been using these for about 6 months now and I basically like them. Because of their low price, theyre a great alternative to premium gouache brands. Im using these dry from a palette. Although they crack and crumble like most gouache, they do reactivate easily and offer good coverage. Note: If I tip the palette, the little pieces of dried paint fall out of their compartments and mix together, something thats typical of most gouache brands. (My Holbein set is an exception.) As expected, these paints dont have the pigment load of a high quality paint brand like my Holbein set. I find the Arteza gouache mostly acceptable. My issues with this set is 1. The metallic colors dont have much shimmer, and 2. the color assortment is too garish and neon for my taste. I was not happy with my initial paintings because they were so bright. However, I realized that I can get great subtle colors when I mix my own colors. Thats not what I intended when I purchased these. I bought this set intending to have a good selection of premixed colors so I wouldnt have to mix my own. The mixing takes time, but Im getting better at it. If youre someone who loves bright neon colors, youll probably love this set. I would definitely recommend these to beginning/intermediate artists who want to familiarize themselves with gouache painting without breaking the bank to do it.

Great range of colors but I would have preferred larger tubes and a fewer colors - I can mix to get various shades but the basic white, black, brown etc are important for large paintings. The quality of the paint isnt the issue, but the tubes are more like sample sizes.

Fantastic coverage! Much better than other options that come in jelly cups. These are a GREAT value!
