Art WhaleGouache Paint Set 42 Colors in Cups With Lids (each 50ml/1.7oz)|Intense Pigments, Refillable, Pro-Quality

These are a very good cup gouache. It's one of my favorite type of paint so I've tried a few different brands and I'd say these are among the best. I found them to be creamy, easy to work with, nice and opaque for the most part. The color selection is great plus they mix quite well with each other. They also play well with the more expensive tube gouache. I got this particular set because the cups have lids. It's nice to have lids, as you can keep the ones you aren't using covered, but it doesn't make them portable as the lids just set on the cups and if they are tipped will leak out. I've found, also, that they pretty much need to be inside the large container when not in use as they tend to dry a tad bit because of the lack of seal on the individual lids. The large hold all container has a very good seal built into the lid and the catches are sturdy. I don't have the room for this ginormous and heavy case so I've put the colors I use into a clear plastic container' with a lid and that's working very well.

First off, the tubs of paint have lids... enough said. Art Whale clearly cares about their customers and provided an easy way to keep the paint from drying out. The tubs are 50 ml, not 30 ml, so you get a whole lot of paint but you'll obviously need to buy some white gouache as the white will run out many times over before you'll need to purchase a new set. I do wish that they sold individual paint refills and possibly a few different sizes, like 18, 24, 36, etc.I really enjoy the way the paints blend together to create clean and vibrant colors. The pigment info is not listed, but I found it on the Art Whale website, and for the most part, all of the pigments were very high quality and lightfast.This was my first gouache set, and it can hold its own ground when compared with the Holbein, Winsor & Newton, Turner, and HIMI/MIYA sets I have collected over the past year ( I mainly bought these additional gouache sets to see if there was any clear difference in quality, and there is not). So if you're new-ish to gouache, but know it's a medium you love working with, this is a great set that won't break the bank, comes with a tone of paint, and won't dry out or mold on you thanks to the sealable lids included (literally one of the only "jelly gouache" sets that have sealable lids, I'm looking at you HIMI/Miya).There are plenty of colors included and a countless amount that you can mix yourself without worrying about getting muddy colors due to colors with multiple and/or sometimes unexpected pigment blends.

Excellent set. Ditto to all of the positive reviews. This case is well thought out with the artist in mind. 42 large cups, each with its own lid inside a sturdy case. Hurrah!!! The colors on the stickers were a bit off so I just made my own stickers and also a swatch. Photos attached.

Good value for money, I've found it takes too much time to pull out and use as compared to paints on a pallette, the guache itself is good quality from what I can tell. Good selection of colors. It's unlikely I'd ever use every paint in the container, definitely good for a few at a time and a glass pallette.

I love we get lids .the mauve color is so beautiful .I use them as a watercolor so they will last me for many years

Loved it!

It is bigger than I expected, and a lot of colors, worth the price you pay for. I also like this better than the other brands I owned previously because of the lids for each container. I am pleased with the product overall.

The packaging of the gouache itself could have been better. The containers are difficult to access if it's placed on a table and the covers don't go on tightly. I also recommend that you do a swatch pallet of the colours before use and don't solely rely on the stickers that came with the set as the colours are not the same. The actual colours are richer and more vibrant. The gouache goes on smooth and the colours remain vibrant. I had fun using this set. Also there could have been 2 white instead of 1. All in all I still love the set.
