Holbein Artist Gouache Set of 24 G715 : 24 x 15ml tubes

This gouache is high quality and awesome to paint with. It is great for toned and dark medium, as it is highly opaque and layers beautifully. It rewets nicely, too. A spritz of water while I am setting up my painting station is all I need. This set was a great value, too. The 15ml tubes go far. I love it!

Súper cubrientes, de las mejores que he probado en mi vida profesional.Si quieres su mejor desempeño no los dejes secar en el godete. Al mojar los colores siguen funcionando, pero siento que no alcanzan la misma cobertura después de haberse secado en la paleta.

I used (read: struggled with) Windsor and Newton gouache for years, and lost interest repeatedly after the tubes dried up. But Holbein is sooooooo much nicer. The colors don't change in value and chroma after drying the former, and they are much richer and more vibrant. Every work I created with WN stuff seemed somehow very pastel,despite whatever presentation I was trying to achieve. With Holbein, I can actually paint, knowing what it will look like as I do it. The colors blend far better, they later better, and even glazing seems far easier to aching using this product. I previously purchased 2 each of the basic mixing set and the set of 5 colors, 5mm sets. I found the basic mixing set made it easy to mix the vast majority of colors I used to buy, burnt sienna, for example. And I SUCK at mixing colors! With Holbein gouache, I feel like it's second nature. It just makes the whole painting process FAR more enjoyable, and the end results keep getting remarks from viewers that I rarely if ever got using WN gouache. This stuff apparently leaves out the chalk, or whatever it is that WN uses to make their gouache paints opaque. They don't seem to be so pasty and pale after they dry, and, once dry, takes far more effort to lift the paint, should you decide to add a glaze here and there. I have been a big proponent of WN products for a long time. I use their watercolors, gouache, and oil paints. However, I won't be buying any more of either, as long as the Holbein products are available to me. They are really just that good.

I’m a big fan of Holbein paints. Pricey but worth it. Vibrant colours based on the Munsell colour system. Mix well. Dilute beautifully or apply thickly. Complement the rest of the Holbein range for mixed media work. Highly pigmented.

I was pleased to recieve my order in a timely manner and intact. Product is of high quality and I had no problems with delivery.Many ThanksKerry
