Came broken 😫
By Kindle Customer on 13 July 2020
Was super excited this came soon than expected. But when I opened it and took a look I realised that the yellow tub had cracked and leaked yellow paint. I'm concerned about this tub drying out quicker than the others. Às I'm not sure ill be able to fix it.

Fantastic palette, couldn't be more pleased
Reviewed in the United States on 16 June 2019
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.Reviewed in the United States on 16 June 2019
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.

Great Quality Gouache Set! Just Be Careful When Taking On-The-Go!
Reviewed in the United States on 13 August 2019
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!Reviewed in the United States on 13 August 2019
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!
