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 for water color and things like that but not great if you like to put a coating over the top. I sometimes like to use a glossy/glittery mod podge over my paintings and these colors smeared like crazy when I tried it.

Good starter set. I used mine for my model train hobby. Thick but not too thick I add a few drops of water to get more mileage out of them.

Theses paints are amazing! I would definitely recommend for beginners! I would say is that if you dont want the drawing to have paint bumps, then this isnt for you. But, if you dont mind then I greatly recommend it! Hopefully this is helpful! Also here two drawings I did with theses paints! I think they came out good-!

I love this product. I’m new to goache and this was perfect for me to learn, practice, and play around with the medium. I love that its versatility. And the matte finish gives me all happy feels. Arteza brand products in gerneral are fantastic for beginners. Price point is worth it. I’m really happy and can’t wait to make a video with a full review.

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.

The box arrived slightly damaged front when outside. Inside, it was another story. It looked like the set I received had been used. Most of the top-layer tubes were crumbled; one of them had been opened or leaked out and the paint was everywhere. The side tabs of the top trays showed also some damage being crumbled and even rip in places but the tray themselves were fine (hence my wondering if this set was second hand and repackaged since it looked that someone hd already pried the top level trays out). I contacted the Arteza, the seller, four days ago but I have heard back at all. So sad.

I love this set of gouache paints. It is a huge selection and nice, thick, rich, creamy paints.

This box really has a wow factor. The packaging is incredible. But big problem: there’s not enough paint in one of the small tubes to paint anything bigger than a miniature. Not enough for a serious artist. I find I’m suddenly out of a color with no replacement. Plus there are metallic and pearized colors that I never use. So—too many colors for a beginner (they’re going to mix muddy colors) and not enough paint for an experienced one. If you’re going to have a try-it box, you need to have a reorder list with larger tubes of paint.

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 range of colors but I would have preferred larger tubes and a fewer colors - I can mix to get various shades but the basic white, black, brown etc are important for large paintings. The quality of the paint isnt the issue, but the tubes are more like sample sizes.
