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

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.

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.

My 10 YOs face lit up when she saw these. I had also included heavy duty paper and pallets. I think these are for the more serious aspiring child artist. Remember to buy paper and other items so they can hit the road running.

These paints are just the most beautiful colors! I have done a sample color sheet and Im impressed with every single color. Creamy and vibrant and very easy contact with the paper. Very pleased.

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 bought this to use as an intro to gouache and it has been one of my favorite purchases as far as art supplies go. I have a tendency to buy professional art supplies even when I’m learning something new, but I had heard about these paints and loved the idea of getting a quality start without overspending. I’ve been very impressed with the performance of these!

Only problem I have ever had with Arteza is that they dont sell replacement tubes of any of the paints you can buy. Once the color is used up, you are SOL unless you buy a whole new set. This of course tends to make me look at other paint brands such as Golden or Turner paints.

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.

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