Marie'sArtist Gouache Paint Sets - Highly Pigmented Gouache for Painting, Artists, Illustrators & Designers - Set of 18 Assorted Color Tubes (12mL/0.4oz)

I Just starting using gouache. I’m mainly paint with acrylics. I did use some with my nephew and niece and they loved it. I haven’t used this brand. I’m looking forward to using it. I love the variety of colors and the price is reasonable. If your. A beginning artist it’s always best to start with less expensive brand first. I wouldn’t recommend the jelly gouache as I read the reviews that if you’re not going to use it often mold will grow. However tube paints last longer and are less like to mold and you control the amount of paint on the palette.

I gave this Maries set to my niece on Christmas and I am extremely pleasantly surprised how well these paints performed when I watched her paint. I bought the set on a whim when I decided to try watercolor. It sat in the drawer of my computer desk unopened and unbeknownst to me that it would actually be a great set. I recently painted with my niece and these paints are vibrant, great in quality, and they spread nicely on wet on wet application which I didn’t expect. There’s a huge selection of colors to experiment with and a lot of paint in each tube which gives you a great amount of value. This set has also gone up in price since I purchased them. They are an excellent set to start off with! I bought the set months before Christmas and they’ve held up very well- no hardening!I highly recommend these! I may actually just buy another set for me.

child’s teacher recommended this for me , and it blends easily ,only one thing not too good is the quantity, it is a petite size .

Completely incredible and well worth 15 dollars. With gouache a little goes a long way and I love the matte look of them. This is a great set of colors and even a year later they still look great. Just keep in mind this is not acrylic and isn't really meant to use straight out of the tube. You can use it that way but your color will be very thick and you'll quickly go through the tubes. Water should be added to work the color and to lighten. If the colors on your pallete dry just add a bit of water to reactivate. One of the reasons I love gouache! I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

Was skeptical about the price but saw that Amazon had it for cheaper than local art shop Jerry’s artarama I took a chance and was surprised. It’s a nice gouache for beginners and those who like to paint on the go. I was able to put these in air tight container and they lasted and were nice in building. From thin to opaque. Will def look to buy more as the tubes go quick if you paint a lot. Pairs nicely with Turner gouache.

Enjoying this gouache. I have a few tubes of more expensive brands and chose this one for the reasonable price and the range of colors. Would buy it again.

They are like acrylics...they are thick. That's what I can said about this gouche. I'm new to this media, I work with watercolors, soft pastels, colored pencils and acrylics. This media, for me, are very strange, because I don't understand them yet. I thought, that may be they were like watercolors, but it is not. It's totally different than the watercolor. They dry so fast in the pallet, when you mix each other, you can't achieve vibrancy, the whites are no good, no opaque, you need to use more and more white paint, and water for trying to do something. I hate the yellow...it's translucent!!! I don't know...I think, you need to buy more quality gouche to start with this media. Because, you can practicing, and trying to understand this gouche, but when you can't get beautiful results, you were going to be very frustrated. So, don't buy this gouche.They don't have lightfastness, yes, they're none toxic, but they don't have light fast, like said personal of Jerry's Arterama, the ASTM D-4236 it means the standard procedure of the information about the products, or the quality of the products, not the ightfastness range.I'm very disappointed about this gouches😔

I've got both marie's extrafine watercolor and extra fine gouache colors! And they are both amazing. I mean this really good for beginners like me :) and it's really affordable. I have mission gold colors but I kinda don't wanna play around with it much because of the price I paid for it lol but with this sets, I can feel freedom! Cause of its quality and price! Great choice!
