HIMI Gouache Paint Set, 18 Colors x 30ml with a Palette & a Carrying Case, Unique Jelly Cup Design, Miya Guache Paint on Canvas Watercolor Paper - Perfect for Beginners, Students, Artists(Yellow Case)

This is going be a little bit of a long review so if you are looking for an honest review of this paint and products from this store. I’m going give it right here.I purchased this product for the first time this week. I have been doing paint by numbers about A year and a half. I am not an artist, nor do I know a whole lot about the creative aspect side of custom colors, or paint products as I am still learning.(However, I am 53, and a Hair Color Correction Specialist for 30 years)I was looking for reliable paint and products that actually work, as most of the time, the paint that is sent along with the kits are usually cheap and crummy, and I have wasted way too much money from various companies that continue to give empty promises. Even though I am still learning how to make my own custom colors. I have pretty good knowledge from my background that I am able to teach myself and have fun doing so. I came across this pallet after purchasing the iridescent and metallic bottles of their paint sets, in fact, I did not realize that this pallet was made from the same company as the metallic and iridescent paints that I had just purchased a week prior. (I always put a layer of clear gesso on My canvas before I begin to ensure color vibrancy and the longevity of the paint on the canvas) because the iridescent and metallic set was not only beautiful, but it was so easy to play around with, I decided to give this pallet a try..As I mentioned above, I’m not artist per se, but I have been so happy and excited because It has been so easy and so much fun Learning and mixing and playing with all of these colors, it’s now hard for me to stop. in fact, I purchased the other two pallets today. The pallet that includes the metallic colors and the other I think 56 color pallet. (should be coming in the next couple of days). If you are looking for Paint that actually works and that is not runny or see-through or having to do 10 coats before it covers, look no further, you will not be disappointed. Not only do you get your bank for your buck. You will be more than happy with your purchase. I found these amazing little hard, plastic paint pot and lids, I’m able to pull little bit of color from the jelly packs and squirting just a little bit of whatever I need From the metallic and iridescent colors and it stays nice and fresh.. I am really excited For the rest of my order to come in so I can continue to create. Thank you so much to this company for creating such amazing products. I look forward to being a happy longtime customer. (I’m just getting started, but I wanted to show how beautiful the colors look. I will upload the finished product when I am done.)

This was a great set to explore gouache with. The colors are vibrant and can be thinned like watercolor as well. The lids are hard to peel and it’s messy versus tube colors but great set for the price nonetheless. The colors aren’t chalky or dull, for learning you can’t beat them. I did buy a small Holbein mix set after and there is definitely a difference but for an artist set the HIMI is still great. I tried gouache years ago and disliked it, too chalky too much filler. I’m glad I gave this set a try, I’ve fallen in love with gouache. 4 stars because it is hard to open the containers, the color labels are hard to read and the pink is labeled purple. The lid is hard to get to stay closed.

I like to mix my own colors so I'm very happy with these Gouache paints. I've painted with oils and acrylics and always wanted to try Gouache and also water colors. I'm sure these Gouache paints will keep me happy. I love oils but don't like adding chemicals to the environment. Although new thinners and such have been invented to prevent a lot of that. I'm going to check out the Gouache.

But not my first time using a watercolor based paint, or brushes. I love the assortment of colors for the price. There's a ton of paint in this set. Each little tub is an ounce. It comes with a palette, which is nice, but the way it sits on top of the open cups of paint, is quite messy if you want to store the palette inside the container.A few of the color names don't seem to match the color of the paint. For instance, Purple is clearly pink. I also have a tub of paint named Ponceau, and I can honestly say I have no idea what that means.I was very excited that it came with paint brushes, but after using the brushes....meh. Upon swatching the very first color, Medium Yellow, the white bristles of the brush were instantly stained. No amount of rinsing is getting this color out of the brush. Once I hit the red shades to swatch, the brush is stained a dark brown color.Even though all of that sounds negative, I am enjoying this set of gouache. I feel it's a great set to start out with, and the paint goes on rich, smooth and opaque. The only other thing I can say, is I would pay an extra $10 to $15 for easier to open paint tubs!

This is my first gouache paint set. It’s very easy to use. Smooth and good quality.

I’ve never used geli gouache paint before so this was the first time. I love the shades that are in this set. The paint delivers a thick paint with excellent opacity. When you add water, they work just like watercolor. Great for beginners and experts to explore gouache paint.

El artículo llegó, se ve que es de muy buena calidad y un buen producto, el estuche llegó roto, el servicio de paquetería no llamo, no aviso que llegaba un día antes y pues no estuve en casa, y el paquete lo aventó y eso provocó que se rompiera el estuche.

Llego en perfectas condiciones y todos los colores son muy hermosos

I still use these colors and they are wonderful! Light fastness is also great.

Sehr gute Gouache, schön zum üben und um schönere Bilder zu malen. Die Pinsel die dabei sind, sind auch wunderbar und eignen sich auch für Aquarellmalerei. Ich bin echt begeistert.
