Great Quality Gouache Set! Just Be Careful When Taking On-The-Go!

After trying both oils and acrylics and not really like either, I decided to try out gouache. I had seen this set in particular in videos on Instagram and YouTube and thought they looked really cute and of good quality, so I went ahead and bought the pink set. I did a little research before I used them before giving it a shot, and man, do I love these! The paints come in little removable gel cups, which you have to tear the plastic tops off of (this proved to be a bit harder than I thought it would be, but no biggie), and the cups sit in the tray of the carrying case. It also comes with a palette for mixing, which I thought was really nice even though I haven’t really had much of a use for it yet. I’ve seen other reviewers say these paints are decent, but not professional quality. Even though I’ve never used gouache before, I personally feel like this is a really good set that’s well above average for your money. I would feel just fine making sellable art with it. But that’s just me. I went ahead and attached two images, one of my first time using the paints on hot pressed Arches watercolor paper (the one with all the random eyes and sketches) and one on a Master’s Touch 8x10 wood canvas block. I feel that the paints go on much smoother on wood than paper, because with the paper I kept having to mix white with the colors in order to get them to go on smooth, whereas no white was needed for the wood, but then again, I suppose I could very well have been doing something wrong, haha. Even so, it’s just personal preference. I have not yet tried it on regular canvas as I’m not sure how the gouache would react to all the little crevices and I prefer a smooth, untextured look, but I would imagine they’d apply just fine. Even though these come as a compact set, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them for traveling. I had packed these up, made sure the side flaps were locked, and drove 35-ish mins with them in my bag. When I got them back out, the set was on its side and the paints had leaked all over the place and dried to a sticky substance. HOWEVER, I HAD just used the paints so they were still wet. If I had either: A) let the paints dry back to their gel form, or B) made sure the set was laying flat when I took it with me. So it’s not that they’re *not* portable, it’s just that you have to be careful when you...well, port them. I’ve used mainly watercolor when painting my whole life, and these paints are the most unique I’ve used! They have the quick drying time of acrylics, the smoothness of oils, and if you use enough water, they behave like watercolors! It’s like they put the best qualities of all three mediums into one paint, and it’s great! In short: 1. Yes, these paints are well worth your money. 2. Yes, this set works just fine for on-the-go, but BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU TRANSPORT THEM. 3. The colors are just as vibrant on paper as they are in the pictures. 4. If you’re having doubts about getting them, just get them! They’re super fun!! Also, a side note: In order to get a smooth look, make sure you apply white to your brush. It gives the gouache a nice, creamy look. You’ll also need it if you want to blend more smoothly, which I assume is why they put two cups of it in the set. Happy painting!

Looks just like the photo, paint is great quality

Absolutely no problems with the item. Since it takes a while to peel off the little covers on each paint tub, I would suggest using the little bit of paint that is on the cover to swatch each of the colors--its what I did in that second photo. It can take a while to unpackage each of the colors so you might as well make a thing out of it. I love that it's water-based but applies onto the paper like a flat acrylic? Almost? Solid color, but it can be made to look like a wash/watercolor if you use very little of the color itself and more water. The consistency is like pudding and its very easy to use.

Excellent!

I know in China these are standard sets for art students to use for color composition exams. I have seen them everywhere and expected them to be little better than kids' poster paints. Boy was I wrong. I picked up a set just because I felt like playing with gouache and wanted to find something uber cheap. But these did everything I expected high quality gouache to do. These paints are bright, clean, pigmented and have excellent coverage and opacity. They are also very thick and I imagine will easily work with acrylic medium to produce a textured painting. Will thin down to a very nice smooth watercolor like wash too. I have used mostly M. Graham gouache before (MG is my favorite watercolor so I just picked up their gouahce), and these really don't feel all that much inferior to MG, maybe muddies a bit more easily in mixing, but really, inconsequential differences. Definitely the most bang for your 18 buck for art supplies. PS: the one difference between these and actual artist quality gouache is they are probably not lightfast. At all. It's not a concern for me since I don't sell/display originals. This is an issue for many artists though. PPS: found the company's official store. The price on Amazon is a little more than double what it is in China, which is fine, considering international shipping and how heavy these paints are. I do, however, wish the company can bring over more products than just the cheapest children's set. They have acrylics too! And look at the color chart for their 56 set gouache!

Vibrant Flat colors

These are very good value for quality. Not only are there large amounts of the paints, but they behave very well for their cost. You can get very vibrant colors from these, and they lie flat and aren't streaky when you use the correct paint to water ratio. Some of the colors are less opaque than others, but this is normal with most gouache paints, and I find with these if you mix in just a little white it increases the opacity quite a bit. I included some photos of the colors I was able to mix with these, and the saturation is turned up just a little so you can see the colors that cause streaking a bit better. Also included the color wheel using the cerulean, lemon yellow, and magenta colors. Idk if that's the name of them, but they are the ones i used for both color wheels and as you can see there are no muddy colors. The purple is so pigmented that it looks dark, but diluted with water (in the picture) you can see better how it might look with white added. Hope these images are helpful. I saw a youtube video about these paints and I was super curious because I've never heard of this brand before, so I had to buy and see for myself. lol

I'm a new convert to gouache because of this set!

I really love this set. Mostly, I've used watercolor both student and professional but this type of paint is more forgivable. This gouache, when you use more water, behaves for the most part like watercolor paints, and when you use less water behaves more like an acrylic paint. The colors are bright, and, mixable on the pallet. Where white/black is rather useless in watercolor, it comes in rather handy for toning down the bright colors. I was using watercolor for my bible journaling and in my coloring books, but since I can use less water with gouache...my paper wrinkles less and still no bleed-through. I loved the extra mixing tin that attaches to the cover, but since these paint containers are full to the top causing some of the paint to stick, I've left it out until I use the set more fully. What I've learned using this gouache is that mistakes can be corrected much, MUCH easier than when using watercolor. The more opaque appearance of gouache was a plus for me because I have a tendency to use watercolor with as much pigment on the brush as possible. This is my first experience using gouache and I'm delighted with it. The portions are generous considering the way I paint and it will probably take me a while to get to the point where I need to order more. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Oh my gosh, I love these gouache paints!

Very nice set for the price. Actually much bigger and better than expected. The paints are very smooth and pretty. The box is so cute. Will be ordering another!

I was very surprised by this set in all the right ways

First things first, this product does re-wet which is a huge positive. I know there are a lot of acrylic based gouache products on the market, but I want and need a traditional gouache that re-wets. Otherwise I would just by acrylic paint. Next you get a LOT of product for the price. I was actually shocked when I realized the tubs of paint really were as big, and full to the brim, as the pictures showed. For a student grade product this is not only a good buy, it is a fantastic one.

Fantastic palette, couldn't be more pleased

Colors are vibrant and opaque, while still drying matte. They're easily workable and the inclusion of two white pans is a huge plus for me, as it's always the color that goes first! The palette itself is durable and well made, snapping tightly into place when you're ready to store your paints. At first I was concerned about the colors drying, but frankly there's so much paint that I don't see that happening anytime soon as long as I continue to spritz them with water and stir them a bit occasionally. Upon opening, there was a small bit of separation in the paints, especially the violet, so I decided to recombine them all with a good stir in the pan, and they were perfect afterwards! I'm sure you can use them without recombining, but that was my preference. The paints themselves are creamy and opaque, and I haven't had any issues with cracking where the paint is more thickly applied. The color payoff is amazing, these paints are very vibrant and seem to contain a lot of pigment. Overall, you're not going to get the same permanence and lightfastness as higher end brands like Holbein or Schmincke, but that's to be expected with student grade paints. My favorite aspect of this palette is the amount of paint in each cup, I often find myself being afraid to waste paint with my more expensive tube gouache, but that's not an issue at all with this palette. The amount of paint in the jelly cups makes this palette HEAVY. I personally enjoy the weight and find it satisfying, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for traveling as it will weigh down your bag. Overall, this is an amazing palette for people who are learning gouache, and experienced artists alike. It gives you a genuine gouache experience, and lends itself to lots of experimentation without fear of wasting expensive paint.

Lots of Paint

This product provides a very large amount of paint for the money. I like having access to the colors all in one space too. You probably should have a tool to scoop a little out of the colors separately so as to not mix them up.

Little gem!

I love this product! The paint is really good, but the packaging! The packaging is so great! It’s a great size and the plastic has a “soft” feel to it. I love holding it! I would recommend getting a second pallet for mixing.
