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

and they are more than good enough for me. I’ve contemplated getting this set for a few years. It went down to $30 and I couldn’t resist anymore. I signed up for the two free months of Skillshare and so far I’ve taken two classes on beginner painting florals with gouache. The paints performed very well. I have no complaints. My class projects were far from perfect, but they ended up looking more like flowers than I expected. And who can turn down getting 60 beautiful paint colors in the mail? Not me, that’s for sure. I’m very happy with the purchase. If my technique ends up getting much better, well then I’ll think about a small Holbein set. For now I have all I need or could want.

Sorry for the bad swatches, but I really wanted to show what each color looked like. This set was worth every penny because you get colors that would take forever to achieve if you were to do mixing and I also like the color stories that were already set up for you in the box. My swatches are each color story that was premade. The gouache is very creamy, pigmented, and drys to a nice matte finish. They can be layered easily on top of one another and with the color range you can make alot of unique art pieces. Its important to note that even when watered down they still are pigmented. I highly recommend this set for beginners and those who arent a fan of mixing paint and just want colors laid out.

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 variety of colors you get in this set. Great for first time gouache users.

These are great! They Also work really well with Watercolor. I love watercolor but if you mess up its really hard to fix and layering is difficult. These go right overtop of watercolor and you cant really notice its a different medium (see picture). layering and blending with these are great.

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

great set, worth every penny... thank you.

Gouache is one of my favorite painting mediums, and Ive been coveting this Arteza set for months. I finally decided to order the set, and was very impressed when it arrived. The colors appear to be so beautiful and subtle that I cant wait to start using them. Ill add them to the Arteza colored pencil and watercolor sets I already own, and hopefully create many wonderful pieces of mixed media art.

These paints are good. They are smooth and vibrant and there’s a huge variety of color, which I find very convenient. They dry quickly, mix well with other colors and water, and layer pretty well. The value is beyond what you can find with other brands. The box it comes in is easy for storage and organization. Overall, I like this set. My only qualm with these paints is that, even after drying, the paint will transfer onto the previous page. I leave my sketchbook open for 24+ hours after I paint to be sure my work is adequately dry before closing it, and I don’t use the sketchbook for travel, but I’m still having issues with dry paint transferring over onto the previous painting. It is almost like the way chalk or charcoal transfers. It’s pretty disappointing because sometimes it happens before I’m able to scan my work and then I have to edit out the parts where the colors transferred over. I also wish they came in different sizes and were available to purchase individually. I run out of white so quickly because the tubes are so small. Other colors are fine but the white really should be at least twice the size of the other colors. If it came with a larger white or we were able to purchase those without buying an entirely new set, that would be ideal. If you are a beginner and/or don’t scan or sell your work, this could work well for you. The paintings I’m able to make with these are very beautiful, but the transfer after drying just doesn’t cut it for me. If you’re a professional, you might be able to make these work but overall I would say maybe not risk it. I’m going to try something else once these run out.

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.
