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

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 :)

The gouache is easy to work with. Its highly pigmented. But the metallic colors, have little shine to it. It shows well wet. But when the paint dries, the metallic effect dissappear. Some of the colors are neon. So swatching them, before you start, would be smart. Its a good set for beginners that wants a lot of pre mixed colors.

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

Nephew loves it

I love this gouache, the only thing that I would recommend is that you use it right out of the tube, as it dries out very easily, and once it is re activated, its just not the same, at all. Other than that, its great for beginners.

Beautiful colors smooth right out of tube easy to thin down with a little water.

Super value for the money! I have also used Holbein gouache which is much more expensive and maybe just a little better. This is A great set with lots of colors and even some pearls and metallics. The only issue I have is that the color on the outside of the tube isn’t exactly what’s inside on some of them. They need to make a better match on the labels.

Good value great for journaling

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.

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.
