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

Good paints for a good value. Not the best for learning color theory of youre a beginner since it was super easy for me to get overwhelmed. But once you get the hang of them theyre nice to paint. The paints do dry a little lighter and the tubes arent always an accurate representation of the colors but for the price I cant complain.

Im an oil and acrylic painter with many years experience and quickly learned that you get what you pay for when buying paint. Im also a former college painting instructor that had to do demos with student grade paint and it was sometimes an exercise in frustration. But gouache is something I just dabble with - mostly using it for studies - so when the Arteza gouache Prime Day offer came up I bit, figuring that if it were a total disappointment I could give it to my granddaughter. I have the good stuff (Winsor and M. Graham) but I was tempted by the fun range of colors, the metallics and the price, which was so great! So far I have been pleasantly surprised with the opacity, pigment and texture of the Arteza gouache. The only thing I could recommend is that they need to include more white. To be fair, you do get two tubes, but to really take advantage of the colors provided I feel you would need a couple more tubes of white I had big tubes of white gouache at home already so it doesnt affect me, but this is meant to be a standalone set with no open stock.

My daughter in law is an artist and she absolutely loves this paint. She loves the color, ease to work with, says it layers well and is velvity when dried. Very happy with it!

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 love these paints! After seeing many paintings done with gouache I decided to get them for myself. Ive bought other Arteza products before and really liked them, so decided to try this brand. Everytime I buy a new art supply I buy a small set, love the product, buy a bigger set, and the smaller one sits unused. Not this time. I bought the big pack and Im so glad I did! The colors are very vibrant and lay down so easily on watercolor paper. Im new to this medium, so Ive made mistakes on my color chart, but I still enjoyed making it. I definitely recommend this gouache :)

These are not acrylic paints! Theyre water based, but the whole set FLAT paint! I should have looked up the word GOUACHE. So I am at fault. Dont get me wrong the paint texture and color is very good, but there is no shine to them whatsoever.

I am so in love! I bought for my new adventure with gouache. The colors are so vibrant and pretty!!! Makes me even more excited to learn how to paint!!

Good value great for journaling

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.

Wow! I’m a transparent watercolor artist. Wanted to try gouache. Had a few of the expensive gouache colors but had a commission which required many other shades that what I had. So, I figured, what the heck, for this price point, I’ll give em a shot. Am I glad I did. That was 6 months ago. Ive continued to use the to supplement my expensive brand when needed and have been quite pleased. For the price of 5 tubes of the expensive brand, I got 60. Not all are fabulous, but I sure feel I got my money’s worth.
