> 3 dayI am so beyond satisfied with this set! I’m pretty new to painting in gouache, but these paints were so easy to just pick up and use, and the colors are so rich, vibrant, and mixable!

> 3 daythese 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 :)

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis 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.

Greater than one weekLove the consistency of the paints! My only complaint is that the actual colours don’t match the outside of the tube

Greater than one weekI bought this set of gouache paint to see how the Arteza brand worked compared to brands I tried before. After playing around with these paints on paper and canvas, I am pleased with the color coverage. This gouache set has a wonderful selection of colors to choose from. The colors from this set work wonderfully for me when I do manga and abstract paintings. I am beyond pleased with the brand and plan to buy a variety of supplies in the future. This brand will be my go-to for gouache paints.

> 3 dayI really enjoy this paint. its fun to work with and if you are taking too long just add water and it will reactivate the paint again. Some of the paint is a little sheer and you should do swatches yourself so you can see cause what they say on the box isnt accurate.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThis set of gouache is of the absolute worst quality. 28, ncluding the 12 Metallic colors, out of the 60 colors contain Titanium White. They are some of the worst, lowest quality paints I have ever come across. I would absolutely NOT give these to anyone, especially a beginner. Anyone trying to paint with this junk would face nothing but frustration, disappointment, and horrible chalky results. Please, do yourself a favor and do not buy this set iof gouache. Spend your $50 on a quality, recognized brand (Winsor Newton, Holbein, etc.) of quality gouache. Yes, you may only afford 6-12 colors, but the results will be well worth it.
