> 3 dayI have been working with acrylics a lot lately. I have several sets that I have been working with to find my favorites. This metallic set is a fabulous addition to my already expanding collection of regular acrylic paints. WHAT IS THE SET LIKE? This is an excellent assortment of colors that come in this set. Most of the colors have shimmer in them which are the same as the paint itself. A few of them have colors that are slightly different adding to the depth of the color. TUBES You get quite a bit of paint per tube. They are see through plastic so you can accurately see what the paint looks like BEFORE you use it. OPACITY These paints are not super thick. That means that they are easy to apply in thin coats without globs and frustration. You can also mix them in with other paints and get a pretty nice blend. MIXING (SEE MY PHOTO FOR EXPLANATIONS) I mixed the bronze gold with black to create the center of lettering in the welcome sign that I have posted with this review. The roof on both of the houses were accented by metallic paint alongside with regular acrylic colors for contrast and texture. If you look in the windows of the welcome sign, you will see two of the gold and bronze metallic paints to make a glow inside. GLAZING I also used the metallic pink as a glaze on top of the center of the heart and the doors in the welcome sign. I also used the cyan metallic on the one house as a glaze and the aqua metallic paint as a glaze on the greenish blue house. It is hard to see in my photo as the light isnt quite hitting it. DRYING These dont take too long to dry, but you have a little time to work with them as long as you are quick. When used as a wash, they dry pretty quickly. Adding some extender or glaze to them will extend the time a bit, but it will weaken the color. THE BOTTOM LINE This set of paints is gorgeous. It is a great way to add texture and depth to acrylic paintings. I use them a lot and they really bring paintings to life. MY RATING FIVE STARS. I love these colors. They mix so well and glaze beautifully too.

> 3 dayTake a black canvas or black paper and this paint and you will have a gorgeous, sparkly creation. Excellent quality paint that is easy to blend and very smooth. Love the variety of colors in this group. Something for every thing without mixing.

> 3 dayI have been painting for about three years with acrylics, but this is my first time working with metallic colors in acrylics and Im very happy with these paints. This set consists of 12 metallic acrylic paints (they come in tubes of 36 ml). The paints go on smoothly, theyre thick, they dry fairly quickly and since theyre metallic paints, they really shimmer! Theyre water based, theres no odor, and my brushes are easy to clean with just some water and mild soap. And since these are acrylic paints, they can be used with or without water. This set is perfect for me because I didnt want to buy large tubes of metallic paints and this set gives me a nice variety of colors. I think theyre a good value for the money.
