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

The box arrived slightly damaged front when outside. Inside, it was another story. It looked like the set I received had been used. Most of the top-layer tubes were crumbled; one of them had been opened or leaked out and the paint was everywhere. The side tabs of the top trays showed also some damage being crumbled and even rip in places but the tray themselves were fine (hence my wondering if this set was second hand and repackaged since it looked that someone hd already pried the top level trays out). I contacted the Arteza, the seller, four days ago but I have heard back at all. So sad.

Good for water color and things like that but not great if you like to put a coating over the top. I sometimes like to use a glossy/glittery mod podge over my paintings and these colors smeared like crazy when I tried it.

Love the consistency of the paints! My only complaint is that the actual colours don’t match the outside of the tube

these paints are amazing. i love them so much. although this is my first time buying/using gouache paint they seem like very high quality paints. they swatch nicely. some of them are meant to be more or less opaque than others and it tells you which ones are and arent as opaque and the level of opacity. at first i was concerned with how small the tubes were but then i figured out that a little goes a long way so that explains why the tubes arent huge. i would 100% reccommend any artist buy these paints. also 60 paints for $44 is a STEAL in my book :)

This review concerns the 60 color set of Arteza gouache. Im an amateur landscape painter with some years of experience working with colors for photographic printing, and for painting with pastels. For my purposes as a beginner at gouache, the Arteza set is a good start, for now. Theres a wide selection of colors, and for the beginner many of the colors are quite adequate in saturation. As with any gouache, some colors are more opaque than others, and it takes some practice to learn how to apply the paint properly. Im pleased with the set. However, there are some surprising limitations. First, there is no cyan, as such, and no magenta, as such. These are surprising omissions, since cyan and magenta are foundational colors. There is no Paynes gray, which would have been a very helpful addition. The olive green supplied will not appeal to many people. The browns supplied are not attractive (okay, theyre actively ugly!) The range of purples and lilacs is quite limited. While you can mix approximations of all these colors, I wonder how many purchasers of this set will be interested in learning how to mix them. Instead of the above colors, there are several pearl metallic colors which some people might like, but most people will not use. I think anyone whos half serious about painting will want to learn how to mix a range of browns, purples, and lilacs. Once you get started doing that, youll quickly find out how easy it is to mix other colors. Despite the above limitations, I like this set. Its fun to play around, mixing colors which appeal to me more than some of those supplied. I would recommend this to a friend, with the same warnings Ive included here.

I am loving the the colors and quality of these paints more than I thought I would. This is my first set of gouache paints and I am loving painting with them. I mix in some acrylics as well and they blend together perfectly. I think gouache is great for mixed media paper and paper canvas. I loved them so much that I bought a set for my mom. She normally paints with water colors but she is loving them too.

Las compré para iniciar un negocio de cuadros miniatura y tienen muy buena cobertura, en estado puro no presentan casi nada de transparencia, más se puede utilizar con agua para conseguir efectos de transparencia. La caja llegó maltratada, para próximos envíos el vendedor debería protegerla mucho más, ya que solo vino en una bolsa, sin seguridad.

This set of gouache is of the absolute worst quality. 28, ncluding the 12 Metallic colors, out of the 60 colors contain Titanium White. They are some of the worst, lowest quality paints I have ever come across. I would absolutely NOT give these to anyone, especially a beginner. Anyone trying to paint with this junk would face nothing but frustration, disappointment, and horrible chalky results. Please, do yourself a favor and do not buy this set iof gouache. Spend your $50 on a quality, recognized brand (Winsor Newton, Holbein, etc.) of quality gouache. Yes, you may only afford 6-12 colors, but the results will be well worth it.

I am so beyond satisfied with this set! I’m pretty new to painting in gouache, but these paints were so easy to just pick up and use, and the colors are so rich, vibrant, and mixable!

I love the variety of colors available and so easy to adjust colors and cover mistakes.
