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 use gouache paints in conjunction with watercolors when painting. This set of gouache paints are decent for the price and comes with a really nice array of colors, including 3 different whites, 12 metallics and pearls. The pearls are absolutely beautiful and are great for highlights in watercolor or even acrylic painting. The colors are pretty rich, these go on well and blend well. The majority of the colors are rather opaque but can be thinned with water to create a semi transparent hue. These of course dry quick but can be rewetted for blending. Overall a nice set for beginners or hobbyist.

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’m a college student and I did get heavy body paint. However, I have these a try as well and they are perfect for practicing before I use my expensive paint :)

I bought these a while back to experiment with gouache for the first time and may I say that I absolutely loved it! Great quality for a great price.

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.

I GOT A BOOK Get Started with GOUACHE by Emma Block and I got THIS SET OF GOUACHE paints to go with it, per a You Tuber Ive been following. I DO LOVE THESE PAINTS. This is a new medium for me to experiment with. Im not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love to paint my composition book pages before I start to collage/write/decorate the page for the day. These are proving to be a medium I will enjoy a lot and I have a feeling my acrylic paints may NOT be getting replaced as they run out. This set of Gouache paints are really nice. Easy to use, rather spendy, but I believe they will last a long time. Very versatile and beautiful colors in this set.

I have swatched the colors and am pleasently surprised! I have tried m graham too, the mixing set and think that this arteza set is better. Crazy right. The m graham is smooth and pigmented but 60 tubes vs 5 for the same price? The quality is good enough for sure the quality isnt like cheap dollar store paint just a little inferior to mg... But not much

Inspirar, me gusto este color Gouache es mi favorito, grs

I haven’t used this product yet, but purchased it because of friends that already use the Arteza gouache paints and love the pigmentation, the ease of use and the results.

Nice set of gouache. A mix of names artist colors as well as unique named colors(ex: ballerina pink). Very happy with the pigment load and variety of colors. For me there are a few more pale colors than Id like, and would have liked to see raw umber, indian red, raw sienna but again still satisfied with the colors I found. You can see from the photos which are opaque and which colors life out easily(white line above the black).
