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

Great deal, definitely a good product. However. I dont believe this condition is acceptable when first opening the exterior packaging. (For reference) I also bought the 60 count acrylic colors and the box was in prestine condition. Was nothing like the surprise I received today. Over all, great quality products. But as you can see things tend to recieve damage during the packaging / shipping process.

I received this set for birthday. I’d never used gouache before so I wanted to give it a try. Once mixed with a little water the consistency is perfect. However, once it dries it’s chalky and chips. I feel like these were made to practice getting the consistency right. You can try using very thin layers to avoid cracking. I wouldn’t use these on any commissioned pieces.

Ive enjoyed using Arteza Gouache paints and like the array of colors. I however have one complaint concerning this product. The tubes are small but a little bit goes a long way. I have had problems with some of the tubes where I can not get the caps off and in trying to do so have twisted the small metal tubes as they are not that rigid. I also have noticed once you use the paint clean off the neck before putting on the cap or it may be difficult to get off!

I like the paint well enough but if it was a little bit thicker I would love it. I’m just learning to paint so I will learn as I go. Update: As I learn to paint better, I think these paints are great. If I am working on a painting and want it to dry quick I just hold it in front of the fan a few minutes. I’ve learned a lot on mixing colors and creating my own style. I give them 5 stars

I paint professionally and have worked with most high end and budget brands. When I ordered the Arteza Gouache I did not expect much, but could not resist the good price. I am amazed by the strength of the colors which are highly pigmented. They are very opaque right out of the tube, but diluted with water they become translucent. The metallics are just luscious. I work mostly on wood and really wish I had tried these earlier. Oh, the possibilities....

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

Would love bigger tubes

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

This box really has a wow factor. The packaging is incredible. But big problem: there’s not enough paint in one of the small tubes to paint anything bigger than a miniature. Not enough for a serious artist. I find I’m suddenly out of a color with no replacement. Plus there are metallic and pearized colors that I never use. So—too many colors for a beginner (they’re going to mix muddy colors) and not enough paint for an experienced one. If you’re going to have a try-it box, you need to have a reorder list with larger tubes of paint.

Many colors in smaller tubes and affordable, make this boxed set perfect for beginners who would like to get serious about painting as a major hobby or even career choice change to their more artisic talents. Fantasic bright and good selection of colors to also compliment an existing stash of acrylic paint tubes or bottles in your collection. Smaller tubes makes storage easy and also to see your whole range of colours next to you while you paint. Happy painting creations everyone!
